O'Reilly's reporting.....

The Iraq War: Reporting for Channel 5 News in 2003

George de Mohrenschildt was a Russian emigrant who befriended Lee Harvey Oswald and testified before the Warren Commission investigating the Kennedy assassination.
Bill O'Reilly has repeatedly claimed he "heard" a shotgun blast that killed George in his daughter's home. This claim is implausible and contradicted by his former newsroom colleagues. 

Six people who covered the riots with O’Reilly in California for Inside Edition told the Guardian they did not recall an incident in which, as O’Reilly has claimed, “concrete was raining down on us” and “we were attacked by protesters”.

Accusations that he inflated his recollections of reporting from Argentina at the end of the Falklands war as a correspondent for CBS. The Guardian found he had told differing versions of an apparent encounter at gunpoint with Argentinian forces.

Earlier, Bill O'Reilly settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by his former producer, ending "brutal ordeal". Morelli had earlier predicted that O'Reilly was "going down." He and his client did not dispute the initial demanded of $60 million to settle.

Much of the criticism of O'Reilly has centered on his role as a moralist who has lectured about too much sex in pop culture and has published a children's book in which he warns boys against treating girls abusively.

He is paid a reported $20m a year to host his show.

Just a thought.
