Friday night on his HBO show, comedian and progressive political commentator Bill Maher called on the media to treat Fox News anchor Bill O’Reilly’s history of false statements with the same “ferocity” as it treated now-suspended NBC’s Brian Williams for inaccurately claiming he was on a helicopter shot down in Iraq.
Maher called him a “blatant bald-assed liar. … These are out-and-out lies.”

Yes, and this is why FOX News loves him…he is a blatant liar…just what Roger Ailes needs to perpetuate his hatred of all things American.
According to Mitt Romney and other conservative intellectuals, it is okay to lie, steal and hate as long as you are doing it for your family, on your tax returns, for your religion or to make money.
And panelist Ms Wood said that until O’Reilly confirms that his own tales are false, it is a “gray area”.
"called on the media "
That’s what it’s going to take.
The resaon the press doesn’t go after him is the same reason it doesn’t go after that old guy sitting on the park bench feeding the pigeons and bitching about the Rockefellers ruining his life.
O’Reilly is a mildly interesting manifestation in this countrty. Long before, guys like O’Reiily used to be found at the Thankgiving table complaining that the country is going to hell in s handbasket. Now we are putting them on TV.
Also, it’s silly to equate O’Reilly with ACTUAL journalists. His cable numbers may be good but if you compare him to the number of people who watch news on the major networks, his numbers are infinitesimal. I agree that O’Reilly should be mocked every day of his cranky life amd I do. But comparing him equally with Williams is like killing a mosquito with an aircraft carrier.
