Bill O'Reilly has his own made up war stories. I wonder if Fox will[W:237,343,676]

What? You don't know that you can get Sirius radio anywhere, including your car, computer, iPhone, television, iPad, etc.? You can't get it on a conventional radio, which is what the "elderly" own.

You couldn't listen to Air America on Sirius. That's my recollection of it - it was syndicated. I'm not sure I understand what you're saying, but that might be because I don't have Sirius and I actually do listen to sports radio. And I'm young. So I'm speaking in broad strokes here.

You were speaking in very broad strokes. Sirius XM has a wide array of partisan talk shows, from Air Left (which is the replacement for the failed Air America) to Patriot to all the cable channels and so on. The right doesn't get more listeners because the "elderly have more radios". These talk shows are available in almost every car in America as well as all of those other means I posted about. Radios have nothing to do with it. Air America went belly up for a lot of reasons - Randi Rhodes, Mike Malloy and their malfeasance, Franken going to the Senate, etc.

Looking at some data, I actually think I'm completely wrong about what I said. I don't mind being wrong and would prefer to just completely retract the statement about the elderly listening to radio. A brief google search proved that wrong.

What I do stand by, which is based entirely on my own observations, is that liberals don't like partisan news. They prefer mainstream and objective reporting. Almost every liberal I know is quite familiar with "wait, wait, don't tell me" but has no idea who Ed Schultz is.

They aren't missing anything not knowing who that hack is.

I detest hacks on the radio and television - on both sides. I don't know many people in real life (does that make sense) from either side of the aisle who watch/listen to those shows. O'Reilly only gets something like 3 million viewers on his best night, and I'm going to guess that half of them are people who watch him to catch him in some malfeasance.

It makes perfect sense. Most people who want to be misled are more apt to stew in hatred on their sofa than venture into the uncomfortable venue of reality, where virtually all irl experiences are shared.

My point is, a normal, happy young American girl doesn't go cut her hair off and start wearing mens clothing then on top of all that go on national television and drag her self conflict onto the national stage and force normal people to see all that. It's shameful and disturbing. She is clearly deeply sexually conflicted and needs mental help. And I'm not even religious. She turned herself into a nerdy man. It's scary and she shouldn't be on the national stage in that deeply conflicted state.

How many American women do you know who want to emulate Rachel Maddow's "Nerdy white guy" look even though she's gay? How many American women do you know who are even gay, for that matter? I'd bet whatever number you tell me the actual number is less than 5.

Anyone who sits there and argues that Maddow represents even 5% of women in the country is delusional. If she wasn't an openly gay woman with media connections she'd never be on TV and every single person knows that's true.

Just saying.

Thats still irrelevant, because CBS mentioned rubber bullets were fired into the crowd

I just think Bill O'Reilly did what nature intended for him, as a male, to do. He went out and had two kids. He was and is a father to his children.....

For example, O'Reilly claimed in a 2009 interview that during the riot the army shot at protesters with "real bullets," not "tear gas":

When the riots broke out in the Casa Rosada ... the army was standing between the people and the presidential palace. Here in the United States, we would do tear gas and rubber bullets. They were doing real bullets. They were just gunning these people down, shooting them down in the streets.

In his book The No Spin Zone, O'Reilly also described the protest, writing "A major riot ensued and many were killed." And on his now-defunct radio show, O'Reilly claimed:

I was in the middle of that riot when Argentine soldiers came out of the barracks and got into the streets and actually shot people dead in the street, because people were rioting. And it wasn't like warning shots or rubber bullets or teargas. They were shooting people dead.

Fox News has admitted, in answer to questions from the Washington Post, that host Bill O’Reilly did not witness any bombings in Northern Ireland or murders in El Salvador. The network said he saw only photographs of such atrocities.

O’Reilly claimed in a broadcast to have taken part in “a raid” in Ireland, and in a 2013 book, Keep It Pithy, wrote that he had seen “Irish terrorists kill and maim their fellow citizens in Belfast with bombs”.

O’Reilly did not see any bombings or injuries but only saw photographs provided to reporters by police, a Fox spokesperson told the Post.

Last week, O’Reilly qualified his claims of having seen four nuns murdered in El Salvador in 1980, during that country’s civil war. O’Reilly had said he saw “guys gun down nuns in El Salvador” and “nuns get shot in the back of the head”. He now says he was among “reporters [who were] shown horrendous images of violence that were never broadcast”.

O’Reilly was forced to concede that point to the liberal media watchdog Mediaite, which pointed out that the nuns were murdered in December 1980 and that O’Reilly did not travel to El Salvador until he became a CBS correspondent in 1981.

The question was decided in O'Reilly's favor quite some time ago. This has been a zombie thread for several days.

Did you watch Bill's report for CBS covering the riot in Buenos Aires? Tell me what you don't see, and don't hear him say. His own report, his own words.

It does not matter. The important question, O'Reilly's public viability, has long since been decided in his favor.

Ah, so now the truth doesn't matter anymore.

Did he lie? His words vs his words, in printed and audio form.

The important question is, Did Bill O'Reilly lie? The answer is yes, several times.
