Fox: O'Reilly Didn't See Bombings In Ireland, But He Saw Photos Of Them

64. He probably watched "Inside Ulster" or "Good Evening Ulster" in his Belfast hotel room.

I'm going to do everyone a favor here. Bill O says that he has seen bombings in Northern Ireland. Your local evening newscasts in Northern Ireland weren't like anything you would see in the rest of the UK, as there were a fair number of bombings, explosions, and murders to report on.

Below is a YouTube link to a video where a person has compiled a number of news reports about The Troubles (early 1990s), most of which were from local newscasts. Be mindful that the video is a compilation mainly from a Unionist point of view - though mentions of "loyalist" terror attacks are included. Both BBC NI and UTV have always had to tread a delicate middle ground - UTV particularly had a schizophrenic presentation style - one minute dour and serious, the next minute introducing some light entertainment program.

So there you have it. You now witnessed a bomb going off, thanks to a UTV camera crew being at the scene of the murder of a female Army soldier. You're just as informed as Bill O and you've seen bombings and mortar attacks in Northern Ireland.
