O.k., when he said "I've been shot at," he really meant "I've been sued for sexual harassment." Everyone understands that!
Now that Bill O'Reilly's history of making false statements of fact (what some guttersnipes might call "lies") is getting some scrutiny, the hits just keep on coming.
Of course, his claims to have been "in a war zone" and "in the Falklands" saving lives while many people were killed were among the first to be debunked, by David Corn in Mother Jones. (We're not even counting "I tried out for the Mets with Tom Seaver" or "I led my college division in punting.") Then it was his false claim to have been present at the suicide of a witness in the JFK assassination investigation. And there was that bogus claim to have seen nuns being shot in El Salvador. After that it was his phony tale of being the target of an angry mob in the L.A. riots. I'm probably forgetting a few other whoppers here.
And now, as Talking Points Memo shows, he's been caught claiming to have been "shot at." When and where? Well, presumably in the Falklands. Or El Salvador. Or maybe by Lee Harvey Oswald?
He doesn't say -- and I guess we're just supposed to take it on faith!
