Quote:So I did a Google search, found two articles both just as stupid as Williams. I'm all for O'Reilly being taken off Fox News in response but that won't happen because of one difference.

 

Both cases of O'Reilly lying it appears didn't happen while he was employed and working for Fox News. Williams was lying about an incident while he was working for and reporting for NBC News. It's one thing for them to damage their own creditability, it's another to damage their employers. Both are equally stupid IMO.

 

These are the links I found:

For the record I don't care if it comes from "liberal" sources, I try and read a variety of different perspectives including liberal websites. Salon probably being the exception I can't make it past the first few paragraphs on almost any article I've tried to read.

I wasn't implying you wouldn't read them more I try to avoid posting liberal sources so people can't go all partisan in "I'm not reading that because commies wrote it" mode".

 

After the initial article calling him out on the war zone comments he went on his own show on fox and doubled down on the lies. Nearly everyone that was there has been asked about it and said things didn't happen the way he said they did. Aside from all that you are right fox wont take him off but it's not because of the above reason you suggested. He's the biggest money maker for them. 

 

Also, congrats on new compound?
