Infotainment.
O'Reilly doesn't sit at a news desk. It's a fake news desk, like Hannity's or Jon Stewart's.

Jon Stewart is in a different category.
O'Reilly and Hannity would be in the same category as Rachel Maddow or Chris Matthews.
Ouch, that is an insult to poor Jon. He is a satirist, and makes no pretense of being a journalist.
O'Reilly and Hannity on the other hand... both would say they were journalists, and in the pretense... that is the difference.
Damnit. Now you have me agreeing with you. Stop that.
Billo trashed Williams for lying, but Billo now exposed as a "war correspondent" liar.
LOL ... fox news again, no surprise.
I see what you're saying, but to me it sounds like the narcissism of small differences.
Rilly? They claim to be journalists?
...
FOX NEWS' Hannity and O'Reilly are opinion journalists,not new journalists, take themselve and their topics seriously.
They are serious about their political influence on their ignorant, stupid, gullible audience
COMEDY CENTRAL's Daily Show is satire, comedy, ridicule
What's in dispute are not O'Reilly's bloviating, bullying opinions, but saying something AS A FACT of his "war journalism" that others say isn't true, the same kind of LYING he trashes Williams for.
He is terrible. But so is Williams.

I don't like O'reilly either way, but he might not have been lying.Don Browne was the NBC News Miami bureau chief at the time, and he oversaw the network’s Falklands coverage. And Browne told O’Reilly his account was accurate. As opposed to some of the other accounts, which have to some extent downplayed the danger, Browne said the situation “got progressively more intense” and there were demonstrations in Buenos Aires every day.
RELATED: Dan Rather in 1982 CBS Report: TV Crew Members ‘Knocked to the Ground’ in Riots Where O’Reilly Was
Both O’Reilly and Browne recalled a “very intense situation where people got hurt” and how “this was an extremely violent and volatile situation” where reporters were in danger.
lol war zone
Buenos Aires was pretty violent then (all the time, tbh).... But the actual war was 1,100 miles away, separated by the Atlantic ocean.
As more and more former colleagues come forward to call out Fox News' Bill O'Reilly on his "war zone" and "combat situation" lies, Mr. O'Reilly appears to have lost his ever-lovingmind:
During a phone conversation, he told a reporter for The New York Times that there would be repercussions if he felt any of the reporter’s coverage was inappropriate. "I am coming after you with everything I have," Mr. O’Reilly said. “You can take it as a threat.”
O-kay. Way to tamp down the story, Bill-O.(And you know, one must wonder if it any point it will occur to this idiot that had he ignored the original Mother Jones' article, the story would have been a one-day wonder.)

All The Journalists Disputing Bill O'Reilly's Falklands War Tales

MMA habitually destroys all things Fox.
O'Reilly didn't lie. All you lib s bringing up potential exaggeration that occurred 33 years ago is quite amusing.
lol, Falklands, lol, whogivesa
Boutons gets his news from Bill?
LOL that was not a war. Not when Margarita Tatcher sent in ships loaded with nukes to patrol the islands.
meanwhile Argentina sent in sail boats from the 1950s loaded with old tires
They showed news clips of it last night. Certainly looked like a war zone to me.
And it was certainly dangerous.
