In the recordings, a young O'Reilly reportedly could be heard talking about traveling to Florida to cover the suicide of man tied to the investigation of President John F. Kennedy's assassination.

In the book O'Reilly wrote about covering the JFK case in the 1970s for Dallas television station WFAA. He wrote that he was at the doorstep of George de Mohrenschildt, a friend of Kennedy's assassin, when the man committed suicide.

as more of his lies are exposed.

And it would really be a hoot if it led to an on air breakdown complete with sobbing and babbling.

Faux Snooze = Faux Entertainment and as long as their loser viewers keep turning the station on, the publicity (bad or good) means more advertising $ that they can charge.

"Wednesday night's "Factor" delivered easily the program's largest audience of 2015 in the key news demo of adults 25-54 (705,000) -- up 24% week-to-week, up 62% year-over-year and more than four times the audience of cable news runner-up "Anderson Cooper" on CNN (162,000)."

13. 1977, as Jim Garrison put it, was a "bad year for many."

As fate would have it, it might end up being a very bad one for O'Lielly as well.

I was at my Faux News watching MIL's the other day and Faux was totally backing Billo. They spent entire segments puffing him up and attacking anything countering his esteemed journalist cred. The fucking nut jobs will never accept what anyone outside the bubble has to present.
