O’Reilly didn’t claim he won a Peabody.

I despise the man, but in this case he was wrongly accused.

re: #15 Charles Johnson

Bill O’Reilly should have been fired and shunned forever for calling Dr. Tiller “Tiller the Baby-Killer” over and over and over. He undoubtedly contributed to the climate of right wing rage that led directly to Tiller’s murder.

Speaking of Bill O’Reilly…..he claimed he was in “combat” as well, but no one in the MSM challenged it.

O’Reilly: But I tell you what, I’ve been in combat. I’ve seen it. I’ve been close to it. And if my unit is in danger and I got a captured guy and the guy knows where the enemy is and I’m looking him in the eye, the guy better tell me. That’s all I’m gonna tell you. If it’s life or death, he’s going first. Roger [caller], Portland, Oregon. What say you, Roger?

[…]

O’Reilly: Why do I say that, Roger? Because I was in the middle of a couple of firefights in South and Central America.

[…]

O’Reilly: Yeah, a media guy with a pen, not a gun. And people were shooting at me, Roger.

[…]

O’Reilly: Yeah, hey, listen, Roger, you know what? You can take your little “fair and balanced” uhhhh snip remark and shove it. Okay? You’re not getting on this air. And you, Mr. Macho Man, would have never come close to anything that I’ve done down where I’ve been. Okay? So take a walk and … well, ‘nuff said.
