OUCH!!! David Corn sends Howard Kurtz A Devasting Note re: His O'Reilly Interview

Former CBS staffer Eric Engberg goes on CNN to rip Bill O'Reilly Falklands claims

[merrily]

1. Let's be honest. Loofah face is not "best" anything.

[KansDem]

2. From one grouch to another...

[BlueMTexpat]

3. EarlG, you nailed it

and also ruined my keyboard!

4. Daily Kos; CBS Ordered O'Reilly to Leave Argentina for Risking Life of Cameraman

[calimary]

24. That's what Eric Engberg said on his Facebook page.

o'reilly was yanked off the story and sent home to New York. He REFUSED to turn off the camera lights - that the bureau chief in Buenos Aires warned would make the camera crews a target at night, during a protest that was anti-American because America sided with the Brits in the Falklands War. It did NOT turn into a riot as o'reilly claimed, there was NO combat zone he got anywhere near as o'reilly claimed, and nobody ON HAND in Buenos Aires working for CBS News remembers any cameraman getting wounded as o'reilly claimed. He was yanked outta there because he wasn't a team player and he flouted the rules and did exactly what he felt like doing against the dictates of the bureau chief. None of his "reports" ever made the Evening News. Which was probably a VERY good thing - heaven knows what bullshit he was trying to pass off to make himself look like Mr. Valiant Superman News Reporter.

Harvey Levin used to showboat like that all the time in local TV news, long before TMZ.com. Every time there was a massive winter rainstorm here in SoCal, that unleashed mudslides and flooding and swollen creeks and flood-control channels. And sure enough, at some point during that storm coverage, you'd see ol' Harvey Levin out there, standing knee-deep in the rising flood-control channel with the water rushing past him - to do his on-camera standup. Exactly what one must NEVER do under those conditions. Shit - he could easily have been swept away by the powerful currents in those flooded channels - to his death. Because that's what tended to happen to reckless gawkers who ignored the warnings to keep clear. There would almost always be reports accompanying the biggest storms here - of someone disappearing in the rushing waters because they got too close and lost their balance and fell in. The body would invariably turn up far downstream.

25. Sounds to me that Bill O was fired from his job in Argentina.

His boss said to do one thing and Bill did the exact opposite which put
people's lives @ risk and he was sent home .... end of story.

[groundloop]

5. I say BEST COMEDY

[louis-t]

6. Haaa!!!

[louis-t]

7. Best Actor in a Phony War Zone.

[louis-t]

20. Well, to be fair, Brian Williams actually was

in a war zone.

[SunSeeker]

28. Brian Williams' helicopter was actually hit with bullets...in a real war zone.

He just wasn't shot down by RPG's as he suggested. But the chopper in front of him was. And his did need to land, but for other reasons.

[Initech]

31. That was supposed to be a joke that backfired and i would like bail out now.

[rizlaplus]

8. His speech will live long in the Phony Oscars annals....

I don't know what to say ... really speechless, I am.

This is indeed a singular honor ... for you ... that I am in your presence tonight.

I have to give thanks for this extra special honor ....

I'd like to mention, in case I forget in my joy & happiness, that nothing in my life could have been possible without my compassion, my truthfulness, my bravery, .....

10. Best Adapted Screenplay: Bill O'Reilly's latest "Killing Credibility"

[tiptonic]

11. producer

I seem to remember bill being sued, for sexual harassment some years ago, by one of the female producers on his show. I think she lost her job. So bill is safe, no matter what.

[Botany]

13. No, Andrea Mackris walked w/a big chunk of $$$ from Bill O not to talk about him.

Bill used to call her up as he a buzz toy up his backsides and played w/himself as he
sexually harassed a scared subordinate.

12. I'd say it should be a Razzie

But I've been a 'not-fan' of this sanctimonious blowhard for quite a while.

Oscars are for good acting. Razzies are for the bad. Were it up to me, I'd invent another class of awards for him; possibly involving brass plated feces.

But I fully acknowledge my biases.

[SoapBox]

14. Perfect.

[yuiyoshida]

15. The difference between

O'Reilly and Brian Williams is, no matter what Bill'O says, He will still keep his job.

[elzenmahn]

23. Sad, but very true...

...Billo The Clown serves a purpose for the true owners of this country - the .1%'ers.

[kacekwl]

16. I love it when

a pompous ego maniac like Bill gets picked on. It's like in the movie when the bully gets punched in the nose by the nerd. Everyone cheers.

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

21. How you know he is a liar and a baby is he SCREAMS like a baby with a butt rash at the

slightest criticism.

He does this because he knows he is a liar, a coward and overall, a punk.

18. Speak Bill, Speak Bill

Just show the entire world how you have fabricated this story to fit your right wing agenda, and the entire world is going to watch how your boss, Rupert Murdoch keeps you on board without any mind you. any repercussions to your fabricated story, if I were to tell a LIE I would get fired in a heart beat--so to save everyone from more of your embellished "story" ---please go back under your proverbial rock and do more grandstanding, we all still remember your stint on Inside Edition, it really showed who you are---a hypocrite

[NBachers]

22. I just got home from work and punched in DU- I'm still laughing! Exxxxxcellent!

[silvershadow]

26. The perfectly subtle, dry wit in this is amazing. Two thumbs up! nt

29. If they had an Oscar for biggest bullshitter

Billo would win every year.

30. Brian Williams / Bill ORiley Double Standard

Ya think?

Oregon governor did bad stuff resigned.

Big ass double standard.
