Fox News In 'Full Support' of Bill O'Reilly Over Falklands Reporting

The Fox News network has continued to defend anchor Bill O'Reilly after he was accused in a recent article of exaggerating his reporting experience during the Falklands War.

A spokesman for the television network said in a recent statement to the New York Times that "Fox News Chairman and C.E.O. Roger Ailes and all senior management are in full support of Bill O'Reilly."

A recent article published by Mother Jones suggests O'Reilly exaggerated his coverage of the Falklands War in the 1980's while working as a reporter for CBS News, alleging that O'Reilly implied he was in a "war zone" when he was really based with other American reporters in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

O'Reilly previously blasted the Mother Jones article questioning his reporting integrity, calling it "slander' and suggesting the article's author, David Corn, is a "liar."

"This is a slander what's happening here. [...] I was not in the Falklands. I was in Buenos Aires" O'Reilly told The Washington Post after the article was released last week, adding that he believes Corn, the Washington bureau chief for the paper, is "a liar" and "a guttersnipe."

Critique of O'Reilly's previous reporting experiences comes after the NBC network suspended 'NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams after he admitted to misremembering an Iraq War incident during which he claimed he had been in a Chinook helicopter when it was shot by enemy fire, when in fact he had not been in the helicopter.
