I confess. I can't stand to watch him lie through his teeth for more than ten seconds at a time, but I do check in on him occasionally to see if he's changed his ways. Sadly, from the moment I see his arrogant mappy face and get slammed with his trademark snide-tinged hate filled commentary, I realize there's no way he's going to change his "winning formula". One can hope.

I see his dire, angry persona being reflected in more conservatives that I care to mention, but then that's usually brought back into some kind of balance from knowing some intelligent and caring conservatives that I respect and care about.

Bill O'Reilly is like every other conservative news source. Everyone knows he's only telling lies, but for conservatives it's lies they want to hear. If conservatives started actually getting factual news ... well they wouldn't be conservative much longer. It's impossible to have a grasp on facts and reality and still be a conservative after all.

Yes they are different. One gets suspended for exaggerating stories. The other gets a pass for outright lying along with their entire network

Shit, O'Reilly's heroic war story of fending off gunfire from two dozen rebel fighters to pull children out from a burning orphanage to safely on Christmas Day, is precisely what convinced me to be conservative! Without the stories I'm just a lost soul now!

Well, that sucks...

Where do I sign up for welfare?

Never underestimate the capacity for denial in the conservative headset.

Well, his response isn't anything surprising:
1) bash the source.
2) tell them to go die
“When everybody writes the truth, I’ve talked to about eight or nine reporters, and when they verify what I’m saying, because it’s easily verifiable, then I expect David Corn to be in the kill zone. Where he deserves to be.”

Your usual "They're just as Bad!" is just another form of denial. The right wing shit fit commencing after the 2008 election has been epic.

Never mind how we got into Iraq. Never mind how Repub policy crashed the economy. Never mind the necessary flipflop from hands off the financial sector policy to bailout. Nevermind doubling the national debt over the Bush years. Never mind the botched rehab of Afghanistan.

It's been all about the Birth Certificate, Sekrit Mooslims, Death panels, Runaway inflation, Evil BATFE gun runners, Ben-fucking-ghazi, IRS persecution, Job Non-creators, putting govt workers out of their jobs in the worst unemployment situation since 1929, thinly veiled racism & every right wing talking head like O'Reilly waving their arrogant dicks in the air.

The Left can't even compete with those stunning propaganda achievements. You're living proof.

Only in the context that Brian Williams embellishments or NBC news coverage might vaguely resemble the sort of propaganda spewed by O'Reilly, Fox & their comrades in arms.

They stand above the rest the way Kilimanjaro stands above Kenya.

You should be flattered- they made it that way just for you & tens of millions just like you.

Eric Engberg, a CBS correspondent who was also in Buenos Aires at the time, defended Corn in a Facebook post on Friday and said, "It was not a war zone or even close. It was an 'expense account zone.'"

Longtime NBC News correspondent George Lewis, who was also there at the time, agreed with Engberg, writing on Facebook, "Cushiest war I ever covered."
Did O'Reilly's photographer get "run down" and bloodied?

CNN has interviewed seven people who were there for CBS, and none of them recall anyone from the network being injured.

"If somebody got hurt, we all would have known," Alvarez said.

I see everyone call O'reilly a liar. Does that mean he lied in all his books too? He has always been a best seller. Number one in the NY Times.
