The publisher of a Bill O'Reilly book in which he falsely claims to have seen terrorists kill civilians with bombs in Northern Ireland are standing behind the Fox News host despite an admission by Fox News that he only saw photos of those events.

David Drake, senior vice president and deputy publisher at Crown Publishing Group, wrote in an email to Media Matters that "Crown will continue to publish our author's book just as he wrote it."

That book is Keep it Pithy: Useful Observations In A Tough World, O'Reilly's 2013 work published under Crown Archetype, a division of Random House.

In the book, O'Reilly writes, "I've seen soldiers gun down unarmed civilians in Latin America, Irish terrorists kill and maim their fellow citizens in Belfast with bombs."

Class it as "fiction."

3. I guess the, it's time

To do to O'Lielly and Crown/Random House what was done to Limbaugh and Beck.

4. Not against censoring bullshit books

However basically all Crown is saying is they are a la la publishing group. Like getting reliable satantic worshiping material from Llewelyn books. fun books. but not reliable. Viking books very reliable , but if your a college or university and you go down the publishers... Crown isn't one to pay attention to or buy. If the Obama Nation is 50 % crap of quotes from the guy who's writing it. Billo will stay

5. There was a bigger blow up over 'A Million Little Pieces,' though it was 'entertainment' not history

6. Okay but librarians and bookstores should shelve in the fiction section. nt

7. A Crown with no class.

A perfect venue of fucktard O'Reilly.
