David Corn, the journalist who exposed Bill O'reilly's dubious claims regarding a war in Argentina, is linking to an article by fact-checking website MediaMatters, citing the impossible claim that O'reilly heard the gunshot that killed George DeMohrenschildt. The story was broken by researcher Jefferson Morley in 2013:

Does anyone have a copy of Killing Lincoln? I'm told that in it O'Reilly claims that in 1865 his grandfather saw a barn on fire, ran over to see if he could help put it out, and heard the shot that killed John Wilkes Booth.

The historians who have reviewed his books have generally panned them as history....I've studiously avoided coming near them myself. But if that claim about his grandfather is in there

then its a lot worse than I thought... Sounds like it would be a great joke or something on the Onion...tell us its a joke Ron; if so its one I want to start telling it....with him I just can't be sure though...

Larry,

It's a joke.

'truthiness' - what a great word. Thank you Stephen Colbert

Jefferson Morley appeared this morning on CNN's Reliable Sources and played a tape of a telephone conversation between Oreilly and Gaeton Fonzi. Wow

That should have been an interesting exchange. I wonder if O'Reilly started cursing on air?

O'Reily wants to but himself into major events. I think if he would say he had an ancestor that watch Jesus being crucified.
