Another Former CBS Colleague Refutes O'Reilly's Story: "People Thought He Was Grandstanding"

[kpete]

Another one of Bill O'Reilly's former colleagues at CBS News is casting doubt on his claims that he reported from a "combat situation" in Buenos Aires during the Falklands War.



"I don't recall him doing any major story that anybody remembers and he was there a very short time, then he was recalled, I don't know why," Krause said. "He wasn't a team player and people thought he was grandstanding, basically."


Krause, a former Washington Post reporter who had lived in Buenos Aires for three years prior to the war, said O'Reilly's claims are wrong.

"That's absurd because Buenos Aires was Buenos Aires," Krause said about the war zone claim in an interview Sunday. "It was just like it always was, there was very little evidence of the war in Buenos Aires. The war was being fought thousands of miles away."

1. The difference between

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

3. Yes they do appear to love liars over at FOX News.

2. maybe his lies are going to catch up to him

at the very least a lot of people now know first hand that he is a coward, a fool, and out of his mind based on the ranting videos of him blowing his stack that are getting another look.

4. Let him keep his job - he's highly entertaining

as our national clown.

5. "he wasn't a team player, and people thought he was grandstanding"

Shows how personality remains consistent even over time....


barf. He's truly repulsive.

8. I can totally see the "wasn't a team player"

[Major Hogwash]

6. Yes, but thousands of miles away doesn't make any difference to a veteran war correspondent . . .

. . . like Billo the Klown.

While he was munching peanuts and gulping down martinis in the hotel bar in Buenos Aires watching the tv news report on the fighting going on in the Falkland Islands, Billo thought to himself, "I wonder what gunpowder smells like?"

And then he farted, and he thought he was under attack!!
