(snip)
Engberg revealed to CNN host Brian Stelter that he was motivated to come out and criticize OReilly because of an unearthed 2009 video in which the Fox host suggested all his CBS colleagues hid in their hotel rooms during the same supposedly protests the now-Fox host claimed to have seem deadly violence.
What he said was a fabrication, a lie, Engberg said, before alleging that contrary to OReillys claims, then-CBS chief Larry Doyle was unhappy with how OReilly had acted while covering the riots in Buenos Aires. He also claimed that the photographer who OReilly claimed to have dragged out of the protests was actually upset the CBS reporter had exposed him to danger.
Engberg also disputed OReillys claim that Argentinian police were shooting people down in the streets. I didnt see that happen, the ex-CBSer told CNN. I dont know of any American foreign correspondent who had a weapon pointed at him. I didnt hear any gunfire. Not only did I not hear any gunfire, as I say, I didnt hear any sirens.
He added: I came to Argentina from years of experience in Washington covering anti-war demonstrations against the Vietnam War. I saw more violence in anti-war demonstrations in D.C. than I saw in Argentina that night.
