TYT: Bill O'Reilly Responds To Attacks Over Falkland Islands War Coverage Lies

[WhoIsNumberNone]

“The Mother Jones piece, ultimately if you boil it down, comes down to this semantic question. You said you covered a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War….Looking back, do you wish you had worded it differently?”

Howard Kurtz posed this question to Bill O’Reilly on Sunday morning, in an attempt to distill three days of media chatter over alleged embellishments in O’Reilly’s reporting. The accusation: Mother Jones claims that there are contradictions in O’Reilly’s descriptions of his 1982 reporting in Argentina for CBS. The follow up: In a 1700-word Facebook post, Eric Engberg, a former CBS News correspondent who was also in Argentina, said O’Reilly’s tale is suspicious. The wording in question: O’Reilly has said, “I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands…” even though he never made it to the Falkland Islands and instead reported from Buenos Aires.

So does the Fox News star wish he had worded it differently?

“No,” O’Reilly answered Kurtz. “When you have soldiers and military police firing into the crowd, as the New York Times reports, and you have people injured and hurt and you’re in the middle of that, that’s the definition. This is splitting hairs trying anything they can to bring down me because of the Brian Williams situation.”
