Fox News host Bill O’Reilly Friday night hotly rejected accusations that he distorted his record of war zone reporting, saying he had been “smeared” by a magazine report questioning his claim of covering the Falklands War that was written by “a liar.”
O’Reilly began his show “The O’Reilly Factor” by saying a protest he covered in Buenos Aires after the Falklands War constituted “combat.” “Everything I’ve said about my reportorial career — everything — is true,” he said.

Earlier, O’Reilly called Corn “a liar” and “despicable guttersnipe” for the Mother Jones report. On Friday, Mother Jones called on O’Reilly to apologize for the “violent tone” of his rebuttal.
As can be seen in the video above, he did nothing of the kind.
