The Washington Post reported on Friday,
“O’Reilly has said he has reported from Northern Ireland, where the sectarian ‘Troubles’ resulted in nearly 4,000 deaths and thousands of injuries over 30 years — before a peace settlement was reached in 1998. In his 2013 book, ‘Keep It Pithy,’ the Fox News host recounted, ‘I’ve seen … Irish terrorists kill and maim their fellow citizens in Belfast with bombs.’… Asked about O’Reilly’s statements Friday, a Fox News spokesman said that O’Reilly was not an eyewitness to any bombings or injuries in Northern Ireland. Instead, he was shown photos of bombings by Protestant police officers.”
Yesterday, a Daily Kos contributor raised this disturbing possibility: “What if Bill O’Reilly actually believes his own bullshit?”
