Complete take-down of O'REILLY on "Reliable Sources" --- *RIGHT NOW*!1

Last edited Sun Feb 22, 2015, 04:59 PM - Edit history (2)

STELTER says he has interviewed six of O'LOOFAH's co-employees in Buenos Aires, all of whom dispute everything O'LOOFAH has said, with one of them Eric ENGBERG, on the air now. STELTER says O'LOOFAH has refused to respond to contacts.

ENGBERG says he refused to go on O'LOOFAH's show so as not to "argue" about what he/ENGBERG is saying. Most egregiously, a video clip of O'LOOFAH where he said that he was the ONLY CBS reporter in the riot, that the rest were HIDING. ENGBERG is furious over this, used the "LIE" word.



ON EDIT: Replacing the "O'LOOFAH" with "O'REILLY" in the title so that he won't miss it all in his constant Googling of himself!1

Telling Marvin KALB the people tried to storm the government building, soldiers SHOOTING and KILLING myriads of people. STELTER and ENGBERG say there is no evidence of shooting and dying and that the people did not storm the building. STELTER cites a new NYT item saying ONE policeman fired 5 shots over the heads of fleeing people.

ENGBERG says, no personal animus, just that O'LOOFAH is not a real reporter.

O'LOOFAH said, where was he? Maybe he was at the hotel (throughout the riot).

ENGBERG's reply was a little soft: "That's ridiculous!1 I never ordered room service. Maybe I was back at the hotel because I finished my (tasks)."

GREENFIELD: "The only way Fox would take action would be if the acts were so egregious. Their motto 'Never apologize, never explain.' It would take a lot, incoming friendly fire (for O'LOOFAH to have consequences)."

He got away with the "wetbacks" word by saying he meant to say "coyotes" (smugglers of undocumented immigrants).

Sun Feb 22, 2015, 12:47 PM
Feb 2015

while talking dirty on the phone with her. She got paid off to the tune of $8 million or so if I remember right. Transcripts of the phone calls were released that made it pretty clear she also had tapes.

The way it went down made it obvious Billdo was guilty and she did have the tapes. First Billdo is all indignant and blustery over such outrageous accusations, even had Bo Deitl on his show vowing to go after her, expose her as a phony and take her down. Then all of a sudden, it was STFU and pay up! Had to have been when her lawyer played the freakin' tapes for his and FOX "News"'s lawyers.

26. Examples from Andrea Mackris' complaint of O'Reilly orgasming
Sun Feb 22, 2015, 02:49 PM
Feb 2015

during the sexually harassing phone calls to his female producer while using a vibrator on himself.

Counts 83 through 86 of the complaint:

http://www.topix.com/forum/tv/the-oreilly-factor/TSL91K0LC8FLPNV8A


83. During the course of Defendant BILL O'REILLY's sexual rant, it became clear that he was using a vibrator upon himself, and that he ejaculated. Plaintiff was repulsed.

84. Immediately after climaxing, Defendant BILL O'REILLY launched into a discussion concerning how good he was during a recent appearance on "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno: "It was funny, they used a big clip of me...Right after Brokaw and Brokaw was absolutely the most unfunny guy in the world, and the audience got a big charge out of my...It was good."

85. After climaxing, Defendant BILL O'REILLY again boasted that none of the women he'd engaged in sexual relations with would ever tell:

"Nobody'd believe 'em...they wouldn't anyway, I can't imagine any of them ever doing that 'cuz I always made friends with women before I bedded them down."

86. Defendant BILL O'REILLY concluded stating:

"You know, Mackris, in these days of your celibacy and your hibernation this is good for you to have a little fantasy outlet, you know, just to keep it tuned, keep that sensuality tuned until you know Mr. Right comes along and then you can put him in traction...I'm trying to tell you, this is good for your mental health."

Plaintiff ANDREA MACKRIS felt angry, abused and disgusted.

Sun Feb 22, 2015, 06:00 PM

pattern perfectly. That along with the big payoff is enough to know she had tapes to back her up. Olbermann realized that too. He had a save the tapes campaign going on for awhile. He was trying to get pledges from viewers to match what Macris might get from the lawsuit so that the tapes could be made public. Too bad that didn't work out.

If Macris would have settled for half a million or something like that, I may have been inclined to believe Billdo. Her getting the big bucks tells it all. It's just too bad we will never hear the tapes. Billdo fans can blow off the transcripts (if they have even heard of the case) but the tapes would be creepy enough to ruin him.

It could be getting close. Seems that Billo did lie..more than once. I recall he said this,
"Everything I have said about my career is the truth" or words very similar ...Now...one word is very very troublesome...


I found his exact words, "Here's the truth ... everything I’ve said about my reportorial career ... everything ... is true."

...EVERYTHING.. that word could be a lie....

hypocritical, verbally and emotionally abusive White male, (repeating: ) of the NINETEEN FIFTIES variety.

He is the definition of F***-Up, not good enough for the top venues and then generously making room at Faux Propaganda Network for all of those like him: Him, Bernard GOLDBERG, PALIN, Dennis MILLER, Adam CAROLLA, Elizabeth HASSELBECK, Dick MORRIS, Oliver NORTH, Liz TROTTA, all those “retired generals”, Pat CADDELL, Howard "Mistah" KURTZ, and many many more. Fox and O’REILLY, where all the failures from other professional outlets go for a continued scam of a career.

If only this meant the end of his inflicting himself on anybody. But as ENBERG commented regarding why he won't meet Brian WILLIAMS' fate, “his bosses at Fox really don’t care.”

Sadly, as most of the experts pointed out, he will not meet with Brian's fate. He will only be a bigger hero in the eyes of the whack pack, and fox will present him with another Pulitzer. Hahahahaha... I believe he claimed one at one point. Wonder how that turned out??

Kurts gave him a pass, was unprepared to ask him about specific quotes O'Reilly has made, and kept it as just a clash of personalities rather than an examination of the truth or falsehood in the matter.

The only value this had was the pissing contest, but unfortunately they were aiming at their audience...again.

Today on CNN’s Reliable Sources hosted by Brian Stelter, Eric Engberg, a correspondent for CBS News for 26 years, shared his account of Argentina during the Falklands War. As a former colleague of Bill O’Reilly, Engberg disputes the Fox Anchor’s description of Argentina as a ‘war zone’.
