Fox News talk show host and political commentator Bill O'Reilly threatened to retaliate against a reporter "with everything I have" if he felt her coverage of his war-time reporting was inappropriate, the reporter said.

In a tweet late Monday, New York Times reporter Emily Steel said O'Reilly told her "I am coming after you with everything I have," and "You can take it as a threat."

Steel linked to a Times article that detailed O'Reilly's efforts to refute claims by the magazine Mother Jones and interviews with former journalists at CBS News that O'Reilly gave an inaccurate portrayal of his reporting experience during the Falkland Islands conflict between Argentina and Britain in 1982 while he worked at CBS News. In contrast to O'Reilly's statements in a 2001 book, he did not report from active war-zones, the Mother Jones and interviews allege.

“I am coming after you with everything I have,” Mr. O’Reilly told me. “You can take it as a threat.” http://t.co/gXsH3Zqaig

1. I wouldn't be surprised if true

[kairos12]

2. Threats that mark a true coward and a bully.

[Stuart G]

3. You have said the truth.."...true coward and a bully." that is who he is..nt

[Scarsdale]

32. Check

I wonder if this female reporter is married? Want to bet Bill-O checked to make sure, so he does not have a MAN to confront? He is good at threatening females, men are another story altogether. This reporter should take advice from Andrea Mackiss (sp?) about how to fight back from the bullying. Remember when Bill-O wanted his wife's lover destroyed, and he reminded the police chied about the donations he had made to their organizations?

[LiberalFighter]

46. When he made the statement about reminding the chief about the donations.

He should had been arrested for bribery.

[underpants]

4. BillO acting like a punk. I'm so surprised I almost falafel my chair.

[onehandle]

10. Careful. Your chair might has some loofah screws. nt

[underpants]

11. Well done

[onehandle]

14. I have no idea what you are talking about

[Omaha Steve]

5. How well did things work out for Rush after he shot his mouth off?

Bill, you can come after me too. I'm shaking.

[Enrique]

6. his reaction is somewhat different than Brian Williams's

it's subtle but if you pay attention you can see it.

[KansDem]

7. "...if he felt her coverage of his war-time reporting was inappropriate"

Notice he said inappropriate, and not inaccurate

It may be inappropriate as far as O'Reilly is concerned, but it's still true...

[SoapBox]

8. A true bully.

[NRaleighLiberal]

9. (what a complete clown...) Billo, fully armed with...

and

[irisblue]

24. i enjoyed my MIL falafel

now with that photo, I feel nauseated. F you O'Reilly for damaging that memory of her.

[NRaleighLiberal]

25. He is just one of the worst of the worst - breathtaking hubris and ignorance

[yellowcanine]

13. O’Reilly, “I want to stop this now,” he said. “I hope we can stop it. I really do.”

Heat, kitchens....... It's not going to stop Billy Boy. Threatening reporters certainly won't stop it. Deal with it.


On Monday’s show, Mr. O’Reilly ended his segment about the controversy saying he hoped to move past the dispute. “I want to stop this now,” he said. “I hope we can stop it. I really do.”

[Scuba]

15. 'With everything I have.' Hot air and bullshit?

[eppur_se_muova]

38. You forgot the last remaining shreds of his sanity. nt

[DeSwiss]

41. !

[Scuba]

44. Bwahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! That's awesome! The pearl handles are so O'Liarly!

[bullwinkle428]

42. He plans to throw "bold fresh pieces of humanity" at him!

[Doctor_J]

45. And those purple hearts he won in the Falklands War

and the War On Christmas

[sharp_stick]

16. Everything he has

Here comes Jesse with his GoPro to harass another person on public transportation.

The fucking douchebag must be starting to feel the heat. Real journalists are starting to laugh at this clown and he doesn't like it.

[gordianot]

17. Thankfully FOX is not a fully fuctioning Political Propoganda news outlet.

They do not have an actual enforcement mechanism to protect them against those who object to the damage they inflict on the public and the truth (yet). Last I heard the First Amendment is still on the books.

[Shrike47]

18. O'Reilly is such a bully and such a coward. Of course the target of his threat is a woman.

He threatens and attacks those smaller and weaker than he is.

Asshole. I'm sure her statement is true.

[jwirr]

19. The most ironic thing about this is that it is O'Reilly who is angry because someone is telling the

truth. The whole faux news staff lie continually and are now angry because we are calling them out. The people who advertise on these shows need to limbo the lot of them. Start demanding that the people they advertise on tell the truth and start educating the listeners again.

[NCjack]

20. Time for Al Franken to update "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them". nt

[libdem4life]

21. Isn't that kind of the same words Paris used against him?

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/11/paris-sue-fox-news_n_6664090.html

Imagine, BillO's being held accountable for what spews forth from his excuse of a mouth.

Ailes "standing behind him" needs to be challenged, as well. Of course, BillO would sue him if he even made him take time off, I'm sure.

[tomsaiditagain]

22. Mr Tough Guy

needs to be removed from the tv screen.

[n2doc]

23. What? 10 Loofahs and a falafel? n/t

[NRaleighLiberal]

26. my pic above has it the opposite...1 loofah and a gaggle of falafel

[JohnnyRingo]

27. What does he mean by "inappropriate"? Makes no sense.

O'Reilly says he'll go after the reporter if her coverage of him is "inappropriate", but I wonder what that means. As I see it, the only way it could be so is if she says he was masturbating to an Olivia Newton John workout tape before reading his report. That would be a very inappropriate thing to say.

Reporting on facts of the day is neither appropriate or not, it's simply journalism. If O'Reilly said he would go after her for reporting "inaccurately" that would make sense, but I have a feeling he doesn't really fear that.

[mitch96]

28. I think it would be just great

If this reporter Emily Steel, got a RESTRAINING ORDER against this bully for the threat… He would not get his way, this will not go away…

[father founding]

29. Fire in the hole

FOX is starting to implode, duck.

[Fred Sanders]

30. World Celebrity "Trust Index": DBI analytics.

Brian Williams now ranks at 3,284 in trust, says The Celebrity DBI. Before, he was 23. Now on par w Martha Stewart and Donald Trump.

How low will Bilbo go?

[C_U_L8R]

31. Restraining order

this O'Reilly creep is a menace

[niyad]

33. emily should have a talk with andrea mackris

[Gothmog]

34. O'Reilly is an idiot and blowhard

The man is losing it on this issue

[frylock]

35. How falafel!

[Enthusiast]

36. He said he reported from the Falkland Islands war zone. He was lying.

Pretty simple.

[Stuart G]

37. Perhaps he doesn't know what the word "lie" means?

I hope he also knows it is wrong to ..."threaten" people..maybe he needs to understand the word

"threaten"...

[mwooldri]

39. That's "news entertainment" for you.

When news people report on stuff that news entertainment personalities say as actual news, we get this.

We know that Fox is #1 in news entertainment. Problem is too many people think Fox does real news.

[CoffeeCat]

40. Typical, thin-skinned right-wing creep...

These types are so big and bad behind their microphones, with their artificial environments in which they control every aspect of the conversation. When one person attempts to expose their lies, they come unglued.

Get used to life outside the bubble, Bill. It's where most of us live.

[mitch96]

43. IT's in their game plan

To always play the "victim" of the heinous act and attract sympathy from other victimized old white people……… like me !!!
Although I don't play the victim, but I saw one on TV machine one time…
