[font size=5]Writer Responds To Bill OReillys Calling Mother Jones Story About Him A Hit Piece Update [/font]
UPDATED with David Corns response: David Corn has responded to Bill OReillys comments to Deadline on the Mother Jones piece about his claims about working as a war correspondent during the Falklands war:
A discerning reader of Deadline can easily see that Bill OReilly is hiding behind name-calling, rather than dealing with the substance of the matter. Mother Jones sent him a long list of detailed questions about his comments regarding his experience as a war reporter. (We even included links.) He and Fox News declined to respond. Instead, OReilly hurls invective, seemingly to distract. The basic issue is this: On repeated instances, OReilly said he was in the war zone during the Falklands conflict of 1982. Yet, according to his own colleagues at the time and other U.S. reporters working in Buenos Aires then, no American correspondent ever made it to the war zone, which was 1,200 miles away and far out at sea. Mother Jones simply compared OReillys assertions with the facts and identified a contradiction. He chooses to ignore that and to resort to insults. That doesnt change the facts. Deadline readers can read our report and decide. Also, no one at MSNBC was aware of this piece or had anything to do with it. No one there was informed about its posting before it went up.

BarBwah WAHWAH has always kissed up to O'LOOFAH because she and he are both *SELF PROMOTERS." She sees herself in him, intimately knows his game because it's her game. But most of all, he is such an EASY case study in amateur psycho-babbling him: DEEP into denial. A 1950s repressed, verbal/emotional ABUSER, White male of the (repeating: ) 1950s.
During the '12 campaign I scuttled Morning Schmo and did what I never thought, which was to switch to sLIMUS, and as despicable as he is, I thoroughly enjoyed his Huck FINN cunning in setting up, then picking off, his guests. So O'LOOFAH was phoning-in one of his first Killing dollars things, and he was a frequent guest. So sLIMUS did the much grinded set-up, where he butters up the Target, then zeros in with ever more particular questions, until he finally STICKS the harpoon in. I had heard the story before about how O'LOOFAH had been "big footed" at CBS by Bob SCHIEFFER: O'LOOFAH had claimed that he had done all the heavy duty leg work on a supposedly HUGH!1 story in the Falklands when he was an unknown reporter and had thought that this would be his big break for major air time on the evening news, but the suits ruled that a story that big called for a bigger name, so SCHIEFFER was flown in to read the report for the camera. So, this many years later, sLIMUS led O'LOOFAH on about reporting/whatever and O'LOOFAH was gobbling up the bait, albeit with his trace of paranoia that something was up. So, out of nowhere sLIMUS said (paraphrasing), "Did you hear how Bob SCHIEFFER got his start on the network?" O'LOOFAH closed down, "No." So sLIMUS rambled on, "innocently," telling how SCHIEFFER had answered the phone at the Dallas newsroom during the chaos when OSWALD was being chased, and it was OSWALD's mother on the phone asking for a ride to his apartment, and SCHIEFFER was in the right place at the right time and picked her up and afterward this was his career-making move. Throughout all the telling, O'LOOFAH was deathly silent, his suspicions of being sandbagged validated.
Anyway, O'LOOFAH has gotten away for decades with his name calling others with the "smear merchanting" he himself does, using racists terms like "wetbacks" while pretending it's a lack of foreign language knowledge, and calling himself a war correspondent. But it's good enough for the VFW.

[font size=5]Report: Bill O'Reilly Has Been Telling Lies About War Exploits, Too[/font]
Adam Weinstein
Since at least 2001, O'Reilly has bragged about "having survived a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands war" in 1982. But Mother Jones editors David Corn and Daniel Schulman report that Bill's claims aren't supported by any facts, and are disputed by his ex-coworkers. ....
(Update: )
Bill O'Reilly says a new Mother Jones report alleging that the Fox News host made false claims about his Falklands War experience is "a piece of garbage" and that its principal author, David Corn, is "a liar."
In a telephone interview with the On Media blog, O'Reilly called Corn a "despicable guttersnipe" who has been trying to take him down "for years."
"It's a hit piece," O'Reilly said. "Everything I said about what I reported in South and Central America is true. Everything."
