There is no getting around this one, Bill O'Reilly clearly lied in his book Killing Kennedy. He wrote in his Book that he heard the shot when George de Mohrenschildt committed suicide. It not true, CNN acquired a high quality recording of a phone conversation when he first heard about the suicide.

Here is what he wrote in his Book Killing Kennedy:


“In March 1977 a young television reporter at WFAA in Dallas began looking into the Kennedy assassination. As part of his reporting he sought an interview with the shadowy Russian college professor who had befriended the Oswalds upon their arrival in Dallas in 1962,

The reporter traced de Mohrenschildt to Palm Beach, Florida and travelled there to confront him. At the time de Mohrenschildt had been called to testify before a congressional committee looking into the events of November 1963. As the reporter knocked on the door of de Mohrenschildt’s daughter’s home, he heard the shotgun blast that marked the suicide of the Russian, assuring that his relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald would never be fully understood.”

“By the way, that reporter’s name is Bill O’Reilly.”

Now follow the link and watch video of his phone conversation.

He is such a joke. How bad of a self image do you have to have to feel you need to tell lies like these to boost yourself up?

At least Brian Williams didn't throw everyone under the bus when he was called out.

I wonder if the publisher of his book will be offering refunds.

You can tell when Billie is lying, as his lips or pen moves.
 
Doesn't surprise me

I wonder what my lAte grandfather who watched the factor every night would think?

When I was much younger my grandfather gave me the book "The O'Reilly factor for kids" and after I read it he was interviewing some kid about some drug thing in high school, and the kid correctly quoted a passage from that book and bill O pushed him off.

Then Bill O'Reilly when referring to summer Iraq controversy mentioned the Malmedy massacre as being committed by American GIs (it was actually committed against American POWs by the SS) then after the Aurora theater shooting Bill O'Reilly was calling for a ban on AK15's (whatever that is, it sounds cool I want one) . I got to the point where Bill O'Reilly has said so many things that I know to be wrong but I can't take his word seriously

The argument here isn't "Is Bill O'Riley biased" but rather "Bill O'Riley lied." Which has been pointed out as the case when referring to the Kennedy.

What's with all of his "Killing (insert name here)" books anyway? Are they supposed to be solving some sort of mystery or something?

I think they're O'Reilly's way of telling the "real story."

Did the publisher of Roots offer refunds after it came out that Alex Haley made the whole thing up? If so, I never got mine, and my parents bought me that book in the 1970s after that extremely successful series came out on television. They still show it every Christmastime. I wonder how they feel about rerunning a lie?

I'm sure if the people who bought his book demand their money back, they'll get it. They may be a little more scrupulous these days when bestsellers turn out to be based on lies.

If he was there for Christ's killing, he's one very old dude now.

My husband bought me one of his books years ago before I boycotted his television show. It was a murder mystery. It was okay, not great, kind of meh. I think it was his first book as I recall.

LOL

I guess Brian Williams gets a pass now.
 
All this effort to prove someone said a lie to be outraged after, yet the same people here, and their sources swallow every lie out of the white house for these last 6 years...

That's the amusing part. The fringe let is trying to take down O'Rielly because their boy Williams told one too many tall tales and flamed out.

But the President lying to their faces? If at best, you get a shrug with "all politicians lie sometimes". At worst they claim the lies are just fabrication of Faux News followed by slobbering of the mouth and rabid sentences that include "racist" as the high point.

Did you hear the recorded call? Does it matter where it is from? BOR is on tape which clearly proves he lied..again.

Not really, I don't bother with links. I am just fascinated by the left all of a sudden being interested in anybody on Fox News' historical account of anything since Brian Williams got his tit in a wringer.

Sorry, but most of us criticizing O'Reilly also criticized Williams. I thought Williams should have been fired and I think the same for O'Reilly. And yes, Obama is a liar but just because the POTUS lies doesn't mean everyone else gets a pass.

Ah, so you just want to be deliberately ignorant on this, but still have your opinion.

Nice credibility.
 
Cool.
Has O ('Reilly that is, not bama ... can't expect bama to even be asked about his own) addressed these discrepancies.
 
We are seeing an new emerging syndrome: O'Reilly Derangement Syndrome.

:lamo

It's so fun to watch morons twist reality over their ambition to discredit out of pure hate. :popcorn2:

Not the same thing at all. The only reason Brian Williams is taking such a hit is that what he did is somewhat akin to stolen valor. Taking what can be called "poetic license" or "artistic license" in a book is hardly mind-blowing.
