O’Reilly Blasts ‘Disgusting’ Report Claiming He Misled Viewers About War Reporting: ‘Bunch Of Lies
Fox News host Bill O’Reilly had sharp words for a Thursday report alleging he misled viewers about his time covering the Falklands War.
“It’s a bunch of lies and a politically motivated hit piece,” O’Reilly told TheBlaze by phone Thursday evening, adding, “Everything I have said is absolutely 100 percent true.”
The famed Fox News host was reacting to a report in Mother Jones that claimed he was not truthful in the past when recounting his experience covering the 1982 conflict. The left-leaning publication quoted O’Reilly citing his experience covering the Falklands War as proof he had reported in “active war zones.”
“I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands, where my photographer got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete,” O’Reilly said, for instance, during a 2013 segment on his program.
O’Reilly maintained Thursday evening that everything he said was truthful, pointing to his coverage of the war from Buenos Aires and taking a shot at David Corn, the author of the Mother Jones report.
“I never said I was in the Falkland islands — ever. I said I covered the Falkland Islands War,” he told TheBlaze. “And if that moron doesn’t think it was a war zone in Buenos Aires, then he’s even dumber than I think he is.”
