Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday explained that he previously described seeing nuns "get gunned down" in the 1980s in El Salvador because he had seen photographs of such incidents.
O'Reilly was responding to a report by liberal watchdog Media Matters on Wednesday, which accused the Fox host of saying contradictory things about whether he had witnessed nuns being killed in El Salvador while covering a war in the 1980s.
O'Reilly talked to Mediaite later on Wednesday, saying that what he meant in those statements was that he had seen "images" of nuns being killed, not that he had witnessed them himself.
While in El Salvador, reporters were shown horrendous images of violence that were never broadcast, including depictions of nuns who were murdered," he told Mediaite.
Ok then

(115,679 posts)"I used the murdered nuns as an example of that evil," O'Reilly told the website.
So does this mean he saw Adam Lanza shoot nuns in El Salvador?
