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

He did not say that anybody was killed. His report explicitly said he didn't know whether anybody was killed. He said people were hurt, some seriously enough to need to be transported by ambulance. That was also reported by other news sources. He did say shots were fired into the crowd. And indeed they were--you could clearly hear them on the tape and later it was reported that the police were firing rubber bullets and tear gas. Into the crowd. If you weren't up on the policv line, however, you wouldn't have any idea what was being shot, but you would hear shots.

-Did he back up that he was -- as he had stated -- in the Falklands?
-Did he back up that O'Reilly got shot at, or, in the very least, had a gun pointed at him?
-Did he back up that he 'saved' one of his co-workers?
-Did he back-up that many protesters were shot by police?
-Did he back up that most of the other CBS reporters were too chicken to go, and spent the entire time there in the hotel?

He never said he was in the Falklands. He said he was there to cover the Falkland war.
I don't know that he said a gun was pointed at him. But I don't know how anybody would know that but him.
He didn't say he 'saved' anybody. He said his cameraman was injured and he got him out of the area.
He didn't say how many protesters were shot by the police, but many protesters, according to his and other news accounts, were shot with rubber bullets and tear gas by the police.
He didn't say the other CBS reporters were too chicken to go, only that he and his cameraman were out there by themselves at the time. This has been corroborated by others who were in a position to know.

Those who listen to the video accounts and his interview with others who were there at the time will very much have a different perspective from what the politics of personal destruction people are trying to do to O'Reilly.

As he tells it in his book, O'Reilly, then 32 years old, raced to cover the event: "A major riot ensued and many were killed. I was right in the middle of it and nearly died of a heart attack when a soldier, standing about ten feet away, pointed his automatic weapon directly at my head."​

He said they were being 'shot, with real bullets'. 'People were going down ping ping ping ping'

You can't explain that.

LOL. Watch the clip. He specifically says ' not rubber bullets, real bullets'

I doubt OReilly is paying you to post, you're happy to defend the indefensible for free.

Not sure if this was post- such a long thread to check. So here goes

O'Reilly Lied About Suicide Of JFK Assassination Figure, Former Colleagues Say | Blog | Media Matters for America

The Fox News host repeated the tale while promoting his book and movie special on Fox News. During an October 2, 2012, appearance on Fox & Friends, O'Reilly claimed he "was about to knock on the door where [de Mohrenschildt] was, his daughter's house, and he blew his brains out with a shotgun." O'Reilly replayed the clip of his 2012 appearance during a November 30, 2014, O'Reilly Factor special before Fox News' airing of the Killing Kennedy film.

O'Reilly's claim of having been present when de Mohrenschildt shot himself was also missing from his 1992 Inside Edition report on documents relating to the Kennedy assassination. During that report, O'Reilly told viewers, "moments before he was to be interviewed by House investigators, de Mohrenschildt blew his brains out with a 20-gauge shotgun."

No he was wrong, that doesn't mean he lied. Why would anybody lie about that?

Here's OReillys quote:

“Here in the United States we would use tear gas and rubber bullets,” MJ reported O’Reilly said in a 2009 interview. “They were doing real bullets. They were just gunning these people down, shooting them in the street.”
