Bill O’Reilly is not backing down.
Monday night on “The O’Reilly Factor,” the Fox News host invited former NBC News Miami bureau chief Don Browne to help corroborate his claims of having “reported on the ground in active war zones” and “survived a combat situation” during the 1982 Falklands War.

From the onset, O’Reilly has maintained that the Mother Jones story is a “political hit job” carried out by “far-left zealots.” O’Reilly commended Concha’s “courage” for writing his piece, given that he works for a “fairly left-wing” site known for criticizing the Fox News host.
“Skeptics — largely from left-leaning blogs — charge that Argentina wasn’t part of the war zone, therefore making O’Reilly a liar for stating he was,” Concha wrote. “But protests there following the war did turn violent.”
