Power Panel of Cenk, Ben, John, and Jimmy Dore. Mother Jones has published an extensive article claiming that Bill O’Reilly has a similar problem that Brian Williams had with exaggerating his wartime experiences while covering the Falklands War in 1982. Videos of his multiple instances of bragging about his coverage and heroism. Breakdown of O’Reilly’s stories versus the lies he told. O’Reilly’s stories of San Salvador being burned to the ground with fighting going on around him were also debunked by Bill’s own report from 1982. He is responding to the outrage with defiance, by pointing out that he’d be cleared and putting the Mother Jones reporter David Corn in the “Kill Zone.” Cenk predicts that O’Reilly pitting this as one side vs the other will cause people to think its just one man’s word against his. Rudy Giuliani responded to the outrage over his comments about how Obama doesn’t love America by claiming it can’t be racist since his mother was White. Ben talks about Giuliani’s past since he claimed Obama wasn’t raised like ‘you and me.’ An Oklahoma lawmaker is pushing to eliminate the education system’s AP History course because it focuses too much on the shortcomings of the country; it isn’t patriotic enough. John reads the list of topics that the OK Rep wants to be eliminated.
