kallend 1,623 #27 February 21, 2015 AnvilbrotherIirc in the video from the mother jones he even says from Argentina on the Falklands. "I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands, where my photographer got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete. And the army was chasing us. I had to make a decision. And I dragged him off, you know, but at the same time, I'm looking around and trying to do my job, but I figure I had to get this guy out of there because that was more important." 'I've covered wars, okay? I've been there. The Falklands, Northern Ireland, the Middle East. I've almost been killed three times, okay.'...

jakee 1,254 #29 February 22, 2015 jgoose71Yes, the Mother Jones web site claims this, but if you watch the embedded video, you get more of the impression that he was reporting on the Falklands from Argentina. Oh would you? Because it's clear that when he says "in the Falklands" he means "In Buenos Aires"? Like when he said "I've reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falklands" or "I've covered wars, okay? I've been there. The Falklands" or "I missed Moyers in the war zones of [the] Falkland conflict in Argentina" The only way he could have been in a Falklands war zone is if he was on the islands, on a ship in the exclusion zone, or on board HMS Conqueror when it sank the Belgrano. If being in a Buenos Aires riot makes you part of a Falklands war zone then so would being in Yorkshire. O'Reilly's comments are at best deliberately disingenous self-aggrandisement and at worst outright lies. You can argue the toss on whether it matters, but arguing that he never said it is blind partisan hackery.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was describing the unrest after the surrender, the riots in Buenos Aires while doing coverage for CBS. We know this happened there is documentation to prove it. He didnt just say In the Falklands he said "In Argentina, in the Falklands" Its not like he completely said he was on the islands. It was a live video report if you simply change it to ""In Argentina, ON the Falklands" you have yourself what I think he meant to say. If your trying to lie why would you say IN ARGENTINA before you said the Falklands part? 'I've covered wars, okay? I've been there. The Falklands, Northern Ireland, the Middle East. I've almost been killed three times, okay.' They were talking about war time media coverage, and being called out for never having done it. He stated "Ive been there"...Meaning Ive covered wars, The Falklands, Northern Ireland, the Middle East. Even said something to the terms of "i missed you over there while I was doing these reports." basically calling him out. I dont see anything but some media diversion and bullshit throwing lies out there to see if it sticks to cover for williams. Fuck someone ask Brian im sure he was there on the ground with the troops.

jakee 1,254 #31 February 22, 2015 QuoteIt works both ways "I was in a situation one time, in a war zone in Argentina, in the Falklands, It doesn't work both ways, it's a statement of increasing specificity. The Falklands were temporarily (during the occupation) a subset of Argentina. You could be in the Falklands and be in Argentina, you could not be in Buenos Aires, or any part of mainland Argentina, and be in the Falklands. You also could not be in Buenos Aires and be in a Falklands war zone. It's like saying covering the Rodney King riots in LA meant you were in the Gulf war. QuoteEven said something to the terms of "i missed you over there while I was doing these reports." basically calling him out. Yes. What he said was exactly like "I missed Moyers in the war zones of [the] Falkland conflict in Argentina". Which is no surprise, because O'Reilly was not in the war zones of the Falklands conflict.Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,393 #33 February 22, 2015 >How was O'Reilly's past twisted? Surely you have been around this place long enough to know how this works. When a left-leaning person's lies are reported by the media, they are "exposed as frauds." When a right-leaning person's lies are exposed by the media, the media is "twisting facts."
