Report: Bill O'Reilly repeatedly told first-hand combat stories that never happened
A report by Mother Jones finds that Fox anchor Bill O'Reilly appears to have told false stories about his time reporting in a war zone.
The report, by Mother Jones' David Corn and Daniel Schulman, examines O'Reilly's repeated claims to have seen combat while working as a CBS correspondent in Argentina during the 1982 Falklands war.
Corn and Schulman find that O'Reilly's on-air claims are not supported by his own memoirs or the recollection of other CBS employees at the time. He was, they conclude, "claiming he acted heroically in a war zone that he apparently never set foot in."

| I have no idea how this hack even became popular. I suppose people really have a hard-on for partisan political talking heads who scream rather than ask questions. |

Yep.
There is a story called "The leader". (Radoje Domanovic, "Vodja" is the original title)
"A man walks into a village, asks for some food.
Just as he goes on his way, all the villagers ask if they can follow him. He accepts.
Along the way, they come across extremely harsh terrain, deadly storms, are eaten by animals, fall into volcanoes.
All the while saying 'the Leader knows what is he doing'.
But finally a child asks: 'Please tell us, where are you taking?'
'I don't know', he says, 'I am blind, can you not tell?'" |
