More trouble for Fox News host Bill O’Reilly, After his claim to have participated in combat during the Falkland War, it now appears that the Fox anchor talker also lied about about witnessing the execution of four nuns during El Salvador’s civil war in 1980.
“Fox News claims to be a real news organization. Bill O’Reilly promotes himself as the host of the ‘No Spin Zone,’ Fox News sits in the White House briefing room daily, Mr. O’Reilly even interviewed the President during halftime of the Super Bowl. Now that he’s been exposed as a serial fabricator, Fox News should hold him to the same journalistic standards that any news organization would or else admit that their network is a joke not journalism.”
In the grand tradition of yellow journalism, Fox PR department struck out at O’Reilly’s critics:
Bill O’Reilly has already addressed several claims leveled against him. This is nothing more than an orchestrated campaign by far left advocates Mother Jones and Media Matters. Responding to the unproven accusation du jour has become an exercise in futility. FOX News maintains its staunch support of O’Reilly, who is no stranger to calculated onslaughts.
I think a Pinnochio nose would also be appropriate, don’t you?
Oh my, another O’Reilly lie. Just this morning I posted that Media Matters caught him fabricating a tale about being present when a JFK assassination witness committed suicide.
