Some are saying that Bill O’Reilly lied about his past,
claiming he was in life-threatening war-time situations as a journalist when he
wasn’t. I find this hard to swallow. How can a man who maintains such sterling moral
standards, who is an example to everyone of sincere compassion and tolerance, who
epitomizes the humble humanitarian, be a liar? This makes no sense.
The Bill O’Reilly I know is a man of unquestionable honor
and decency, one of the good guys on cable TV. He’s known throughout the
industry as an interviewer who treats his guests with the utmost respect,
allowing for a free and open discussion of all viewpoints, even those with
which he disagrees. And his fact checking is vigorous and goes far beyond industry
standards. It’s a rare day at FOX when O’Reilly gets something wrong.
And when O’Reilly champions an issue, you know it is one of
great importance to the country he loves with all his heart. Unlike others who
will remain nameless, this humble host would never dredge up controversy where
there was none before, or blow up minor issues into worldwide battles pitting
good against evil. That’s just not who he is.
Now under attack from liberal extremists, O’Reilly is
handling the controversy in his usual steady handed way, keeping calm and under
control, while his enemies hurl their lies and insults. Stoic, standing tall
and proud against the tide of accusations, Bill O’Reilly is without question a
profile in courage.
