Bill O’Reilly has already been compared to Brian Williams amid the controversy of alleged falsehoods in O’Reilly’s reporting, but Media Matters’ Joe Strupp went a step further on Wednesday, comparing O’Reilly to disgraced New York Times writer Jayson Blair during a HuffPost Live interview.
Strupp added to the firestorm surrounding O’Reilly on Tuesday, when he and two other writers published their own report claiming O’Reilly lied about overhearing the fatal gunshot in the 1977 suicide of George de Mohrenschildt, who was involved in the investigation of JFK’s assassination. In his HuffPost Live interview, Strupp drew parallels between O’Reilly and embattled reporters like Williams, “60 Minutes” correspondent Lara Logan and Blair.
