O’Reilly’s trouble deepens: A Kennedy tall tale that could unravel Fox News’ bully - By Joan Walsh
His Kennedy assassination lie is proven by a recording of O'Reilly himself. Why Fox's strategy may suddenly changeJOAN WALSH
Writers and advocates on the left have long catalogued the exaggerations, meltdowns and many stumbles of Fox’s Bill O’Reilly, to show that the guy who runs the No-Spin Zone is frequently unfair and relentlessly unbalanced. But now O’Reilly has a different sort of watchdog in CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, host of “Reliable Sources” – and Stelter is attracting more company.
Oh sure, the Fox bully dismisses Stelter — along with his critics at Mother Jones, Media Matters and for that matter Salon — as just another left winger out to get him. But that charge won’t stick. The bright, earnest, hardworking former New York Times reporter isn’t known for his ideological crusading; he goes after MSNBC, not just Fox. But when Stelter finds an important story, he digs in.
The CNN host just spent his second straight Sunday on the O’Reilly mess, this time advancing the story about what has become the most damning and incontestable charge against the Fox host: that he lied about personally hearing the suicide of a mysterious friend of Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, in Palm Beach, FL back in 1977, just as congressional investigators were closing in on the source. O’Reilly told the lie in his book “Killing Kennedy” as well as on the air at Fox.
In his book, O’Reilly wrote of tracking George De Mohrenschildt, who’d lived in Minsk and became friends with Oswald and his wife Marina in Dallas, after they returned from a stay in the Russian city. Kennedy assassination researchers believe De Mohrenschildt was a CIA asset, and he’s implicated in of a lot of theories about the real motive for Kennedy’s murder. O’Reilly doesn’t dig into that story, but he tells a dramatic tale of his search for the Oswald associate:

where the guests were identified as being from ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, etc.... and "Fox." Not "Fox News," just "Fox" (Shep Smith (?) was complaining about it). So maybe we are closing in on re-branding them. Maybe next time they can just label them "Fox Entertainment."
be his own petard? 
Roflmao!

O'Reilly's been lying for decades, they hired him just for this reason. They knew he had no morals and no qualms about lying right on the air.
It's a goddamn requirement at Fox.
I remember seeing Shepard Smith in N.O. during Katrina, while the studio hacks were sitting there blaming liberals and attacking "looters"
just the black ones) Smith was yelling at them on the air something to the effect of "How can you do this? This isn't a Fox news partisan story, this isn't about right or left, there are dead Americans floating by me and you want to sit there and make it a political issue"?
It seas the only time I ever saw a Fox News reporter tell the actual truth, I actually thought he would get fired over it...
