Bill O'Reilly's account of a 1982 riot in Argentina is being sharply contradicted by seven other journalists who were his colleagues and were also there at the time.
The people all challenge O'Reilly's depiction of Buenos Aires as a "war zone" and a "combat situation." They also doubt his description of a CBS cameraman being injured in the chaos.
"Nobody remembers this happening," said Manny Alvarez, who was a cameraman for CBS News in Buenos Aires.
Nothing will happen -- even if he is clearly shown to be lying. Consider the source and consider his employer. Truth isn't valued at that network. (Plenty of other bad networks, don't get me wrong. But he and his are the lowest of the low. Up until recently, Comedy Central had more credibility.)
It's fascinating all the people now paying attention to Bill O'Reilly, who never gave him a second's thought before or didn't even know who he was, all because their own Brian Williams has been discredited and disgraced as a chronic liar.
Here's a tip for you.
There is no real relevant news on any of the MSM broadcast media or cable "news" stations. It's all shilling for the corporate status quo, endless celebrity/sports figure gushing, parroting of favored politicians as fact with no counterpoint, war mongering and pundit opinion give as news.
Never cared or respected this O'Reilly guy to begin with. His "journalistic credentials" matter only if he was ever taken seriously as a journalist.....

This "story" reeks of 6 yr olds pinching each other because the other one pinched first.
Yeah, pretty much.
I'm no fan of O'Reilly, but this is what happens when one person gets accused of wrong doing. Someone will want to point the finger at another to draw attention away from Brian Williams.
"See, See...O'Reilly did it! He's the one who's the bad person."
I wonder what percentage of journalists are actually honest. Of course O'Reilly isn't a journalist like William's is.
Unfortunately some people seem to think that O’Reilly is providing news and information……………….. he can’t give you much other than “his” personal opinion at best. If you’re looking for news and information (that’s true) O’Reilly and his network lack that most of the time. I stopped watching & listening to him years ago…………….
I know, I know, there are some people who actually think he's a journalist, a source of information. He's not. He's a buffoonish rodeo clown. And as for factual accuracy, this is the same guy who can't even sexually harass a woman without confusing a cleansing sponge (loofah) with Middle Eastern cuisine (falafel): http://gawker.com/5380802/happy-bill-oreilly-loofah-day
Finding out that O'Reilly is, in fact, merely a self-aggrandizing serial liar is roughly the equivalent of finding out that - no! say it isn't so! - Milli Vanilli weren't really musicians.
The difference between NBC and Fox is now on display for all to see. The career of Brian Williams is all but over. O'Reilly? He'll still keep pumping out vacuous ghost-written books that his fawning fanboys will shoot right to the top of bestseller lists, and he'll keep on doing his shtick and his obsequious leg-humpers will keep on being convinced that he's Walter Conkrite and Edward R. Murrow rolled into one.
Give the devil his due - the guy knows his pathetic audience.
