It should come as no surprise that O’Reilly’s “Killing Lincoln”<\/em> would be a trifling, fact-challenged version of historical events. The Fox News host, who recently blew a gasket over $16.00 muffins that don’t exist, cannot be expected to accurately convey historical events that occurred 150 years ago when he can’t produce factual accounts of last week.<\/p>\n

Amongst the errors in O’Reilly’s book are his multiple references to Lincoln in the Oval Office, which was not built until 1909. That’s typical of the sloppy reporting for which O’Reilly is famous. After all, this the same man that insisted that there are no homeless veterans in America. And that’s why we should be grateful for O’Reilly confessing his contribution to the debasement of journalism:<\/p>\n
