Fox News is still around so all that contempt hasn't worked so far on that front either. Meanwhile, Eric Holder seems more focused on Fox News than on his job, now that he's getting ready to leave it.

gee first link in yer google search after the "pushed" articles..

http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv ... -1.9957876" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

O'Reilly told me, "Read the piece and you'll see what he's doing — trying to parse words, trying to convince readers that I said I was, but I never said I was in the Falkland islands. No American reporter was. I've said that. No one was there and I have clearly stated that I covered it from Uruguay, which I did. The field reports which went out on the air, everything that was reported, happened. That's it."
@Newsday

I pointed out to O'Reilly the phrasing of the pull-quote, to which he replied: "What I have reported, I have reported," adding that "everything I've reported is accurate."

The Mother Jones piece indicates O'Reilly piled on Williams in the days after the full extent of his dissembling about a helicopter forced down by an RPG became public. But my memory is that O'Reilly did not pile on, and was in fact supportive of Williams.

as always liberal douchewads are absolutely uninformed , and adamantly so...

In his book No Spin Zone, O’Reilly wrote:
You know that I am not easily shocked. I’ve reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falkland Islands…
O'Reilly's statement from the book (cited in the linked article) is misleading. A simple reading of that line can only be interpreted to mean he was on the ground in the Falkland Islands. His explanation, however, clarifies that he was on the ground in El Salvador but only reporting from a violent Buenos Aires following the surrender to the British at the end of the war. That he was on dangerous ground in Buenos Aires is indisputable. That his being in Buenos Aires is related to the Falkland Islands war is indisputable. That Buenos Aires, therefore, could be considered an active war zone is debatable. He was not, however, in an active war zone in the Falkland Islands as a simple reading of the statement would imply.

Is it as bad as the Brian Williams statement(s)? Being fair and balanced, I can only say that we report, you decide...

AFAIK only one guy was able to actually get to the falklands, via a navy ship... I'm pretty sure it is quite far off the coast...Obviously taking any one line out of context can easily be done and misconstrued... O 'Rielly is at this point in time "news commentary", but at the time of the falkland war he was certainly a correspondent...I don;t always agree w him and also find him to be biased to his own ideas... It is his show and its not news, its commentary...I certainly wouldn't consider him to be a liar though.... As far as Williams goes, I hardly care... Seems most others don;t care either...Outside of making jokes about it, it hardly matters... As if anyone thought NBC was anything but the National Barack Channel anyway...

In news speak, he misstated or was misquoted. What is there to apologize for ?
