Bill O'Reilly lies to Letterman...

[Archae]

O'Reilly has no credibility, no sense of decency, and no class.

When Confronted By Letterman, O'Reilly Denies Fabrications, Cites Ratings

In his first TV interview outside Fox News since it emerged that he lied about his past reporting, Bill O'Reilly claimed his statements had been "accurate" and attempted to use his show's ratings as proof that he is a trusted reporter.

"So we had a controversy there," O'Reilly said on the March 24 edition of The Late Show with David Letterman, "and we put forth what my side was, they put forth what their side was, folks decided, and it worked out okay for me, and I got even more viewers." In the edited clip, released before the show airs, O'Reilly used his show's ratings to claim viewers trust him, saying, "I've been on the air 19 seasons, 15 years at number one, our ratings now are as high as they've ever been, so I think they do trust me and I'm glad they do."

1. I don't trust O'Reilly.

But, then, I don't WATCH this POS either.

[Atman]

2. I threw up in my mouth...a lot.

What a stupid piece of shit that man is.

[NanceGreggs]

4. Everyone knows ...

... you threw-up in your mouth.

Because O'Reilly was there, and covered the episode in its entirety.

Nice PJs you were wearing, BTW - but I'm not crazy about the shower curtain, or the wallpaper.

And it looks like you're running low on toilet paper.

O'Reilly - he is, according to him, everywhere.

3. Jeebus - what a lying slob.

Look at his tie - who dressed this man?

5. letterman was going very soft. are they friends now?

[WillTwain]

6. Hey, he is the top rated talker on cable so take that.

He owns dumb white people. Case closed.

7. Bill O'Reilly is getting fat.

8. I Like How Letterman Goaded O'Liely Into This Conversation.....

Letterman started out by talking about Brian Williams. He got O'Liely to say some nice things about Williams - then Letterman lowered the boom and broached O'Liely's similar problems. The rest you see in the video.

9. It is often said

The Irish hate the British, but save their most scathing remarks for their fellow countrymen. this being true, I can't begin to say in print how I feel about this "Man".

10. Exactly as we all knew. Faux doesn't give a shit about accuracy or ethics

it's all about ratings and keeping their bigoted douchebag audience riveted to the lies and hatred spewed by its pundits

11. TV ratings do not translate into credibility, Mr. O'Reilly.

People don't watch "news" shows such as yours for information. They watch it for affirmation. Conservatives inherently look to an authority figure to tell them what they want to hear. That's why conservative radio and TV shows do better than liberal programs.

12. Affirmation, not Information...YUP!

I can not imagine how he can sleep at night.

14. Rachel Maddow showed two programs on cable with higher ratings.

Shows about people who still pan for gold, and a talk show about "The Walking Dead."

Speaks volumes about O'Reilly and his bragging.

[liberal N proud]

15. If his lips are moving, he is a lying

[Gidney N Cloyd]

16. "we put forth what my side was, they put forth what their side was..."

It's all about 'sides' with these people. Forget weighing facts and god forbid one side should have to alter its view merely because they're proven wrong.

17. Phony Jackass Extrodinaire!

[tea and oranges]

18. The Man

looks extremely ill - pasty, hugely obese around the midsection. Perhaps his lies will soon come to an end.
