As If We Needed More Evidence Bill O'Reilly Is A Liar

Throughout all the controversy over Bill O'Reilly's alleged journalistic experience, the Fox News pundit has steadfastly maintained that “everything I’ve said about my reportorial career — everything — is true.”  But now the cameraman who O’Reilly worked with in Buenos Aires after the end of the Falklands War has come forward to call out his bullshit.

O’Reilly has characterized his coverage of the riots in Buenos Aires after the end of the Falklands War as having “reported on the ground in [an] active war zone.”  In addition, he has claimed he rescued a CBS colleague who “got run down and then hit his head and was bleeding from the ear on the concrete  . . . I dragged him off the street because he was bleeding from the ear and had hit his head on the concrete."

But Ignacio Medrano-Carbo, who worked with O’Reilly during the protests, has now revealed that he was neither injured nor in need of rescue.  “I never fell [down] nor was I bleeding out my ear at any time during my Buenos Aires assignment,” Medrano-Carbo said.  “I do not even recall Mr. O'Reilly being near me when I shot all that footage nor after I left the unrest at Plaza de Mayo that evening.”

O’Reilly has claimed he was working with CBS cameraman Roberto Moreno on the night of the Buenos Aires riots, but in reality, Moreno was a sound engineer at the time and did not even begin working as a cameraman until years later.

O'Reilly has also said he witnessed widespread casualties during the Buenos Aires riot.  Medrano-Carbo says this is also untrue. “I can confirm that no one I know of who worked with me in Buenos Aires during the Falkland War ever heard of any CBS crew member getting beat or hurt,” he says. “Nor did any demonstrators get killed that night at Plaza de Mayo.”

O'Reilly has responded to the allegation, saying he never worked with Medrano.   Medrano-Carbo quickly responded to O'Reilly's denials, saying "I don't know what to say... Ninety-nine percent of the footage in his report was mine.  How'd he get that footage, if I [wasn't] his cameraman?

Bummed Out About Lungfish

A Brazilian who needed to have a large eel-like fish removed from his bowels had to suffer the additional humiliation of his nurses laughing at him during the operation.

The unidentified man from Londrina somehow got a South American Lungfish stuck inside his anus and the removal was filmed.  Once inside, the lungfish decided to stay, necessitating his surgery at Hospital Universitário in Londrina.

The doctors were able to remove the foot-long fish, but at the expense of the patient's dignity.  The video was first posted on BestGore.com in December, but is starting to go viral after being posted on LiveLeak.com.  In the video, people can be heard laughing and gasping as the lungfish is finally pulled out from the patient's intestines. Many of the observers can be seen filming the procedure.

Having an eel stuck where the sun doesn't shine is strange enough, but, more bizarrely, this isn't an isolated event.

In April, 2013, a man in China's southeastern Guangdong province admitted himself to a local hospital after he reportedly got a live eel stuck inside him. The man inserted the 20-inch-long Asian swamp eel into his anus after seeing it done in a porn movie, and he had to endure all-night surgery to have it extracted.

In 2012, a New Zealand man had to have an eel removed from his posterior. In 2010, a Chinese man died after his friends allegedly inserted an eel into his rectum as a joke.
