O'Reilly said to threaten reporter 'with everything I have'

Laura Mandaro, USA TODAY 8:55 a.m. EST February 24, 2015
Fox News talk show host and political commentator Bill O'Reilly threatened to retaliate against a reporter "with everything I have" if he felt her coverage of his war-time reporting was inappropriate, the reporter said.
In a tweet late Monday, New York Times reporter Emily Steel said O'Reilly told her "I am coming after you with everything I have," and "You can take it as a threat."
Steel linked to a Times article that detailed O'Reilly's efforts to refute claims by the magazine Mother Jones and interviews with former journalists at CBS News that O'Reilly gave an inaccurate portrayal of his reporting experience during the Falkland Islands conflict between Argentina and Britain in 1982 while he worked at CBS News. In contrast to O'Reilly's statements in a 2001 book, he did not report from active war-zones, the Mother Jones and interviews allege.
I am coming after you with everything I have, Mr. OReilly told me. You can take it as a threat. http://t.co/gXsH3Zqaig

(38,454 posts)I wonder if this female reporter is married? Want to bet Bill-O checked to make sure, so he does not have a MAN to confront? He is good at threatening females, men are another story altogether. This reporter should take advice from Andrea Mackiss (sp?) about how to fight back from the bullying. Remember when Bill-O wanted his wife's lover destroyed, and he reminded the police chied about the donations he had made to their organizations?

It may be inappropriate as far as O'Reilly is concerned, but it's still true...

On Mondays show, Mr. OReilly ended his segment about the controversy saying he hoped to move past the dispute. I want to stop this now, he said. I hope we can stop it. I really do.

Asshole. I'm sure her statement is true.

(39,215 posts)truth. The whole faux news staff lie continually and are now angry because we are calling them out. The people who advertise on these shows need to limbo the lot of them. Start demanding that the people they advertise on tell the truth and start educating the listeners again.

Ailes "standing behind him" needs to be challenged, as well. Of course, BillO would sue him if he even made him take time off, I'm sure.

(18,673 posts)O'Reilly says he'll go after the reporter if her coverage of him is "inappropriate", but I wonder what that means. As I see it, the only way it could be so is if she says he was masturbating to an Olivia Newton John workout tape before reading his report. That would be a very inappropriate thing to say.
Reporting on facts of the day is neither appropriate or not, it's simply journalism. If O'Reilly said he would go after her for reporting "inaccurately" that would make sense, but I have a feeling he doesn't really fear that.

We know that Fox is #1 in news entertainment. Problem is too many people think Fox does real news.

(24,411 posts)These types are so big and bad behind their microphones, with their artificial environments in which they control every aspect of the conversation. When one person attempts to expose their lies, they come unglued.
Get used to life outside the bubble, Bill. It's where most of us live.
