On Tuesday, progressive watchdog group Media Matters released a 56-page, 6-chapter ebook detailing the many alleged inaccuracies surrounding Bill O'Reilly and his so-called "war reporting" experiences over the years.
The controversy around O'Reilly first began in February when left-leaning political magazine Mother Jones published an article accusing the Fox News host of embellishing the violence he witnessed while covering the Falklands War in 1982 for CBS News.

What followed was a deluge of accusations hurled at O'Reilly, with media organizations and former colleagues charging the host with fibbing about everything from his coverage of El Salvador's civil war to witnessing deadly bombings in Northern Ireland to being attacked while reporting on the LA riots to hearing a gunshot ring out at a JFK-related suicide in Florida.......................------>>

If Media Matters with help from Mother jones wrote the book it must be true. If you can't trust someone with the name mother who can you trust.
I guess they couldn't find anything more productive to do. I think most of the supposed lies are up to debate and who really cares.
