LOL: Bill O'Reilly: I Said I Saw Nuns Being Shot Because I Saw Photos Of It

Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday explained that he previously described seeing nuns "get gunned down" in the 1980s in El Salvador because he had seen photographs of such incidents.

O'Reilly was responding to a report by liberal watchdog Media Matters on Wednesday, which accused the Fox host of saying contradictory things about whether he had witnessed nuns being killed in El Salvador while covering a war in the 1980s.

O'Reilly talked to Mediaite later on Wednesday, saying that what he meant in those statements was that he had seen "images" of nuns being killed, not that he had witnessed them himself.

“While in El Salvador, reporters were shown horrendous images of violence that were never broadcast, including depictions of nuns who were murdered," he told Mediaite.


Ok then

I'm sure people would assume I meant I saw the video clip and wasn't implying I was there to see it live.

I could give him a pass on this one if there was a SINGLE INSTANCE where he said that when he said this, if you know what I mean

He explained to Mediaite on Wednesday that he brought up El Salvador while discussing the Sandy Hook shooting to talk about "evil."

"I used the murdered nuns as an example of that evil," O'Reilly told the website.


So does this mean he saw Adam Lanza shoot nuns in El Salvador?
