I take it that Stewart is leaving because he was caught reporting real news.
Yes. Rumoured that they're just going to swap jobs.
Why, I remember the time that I was embedded with Seal Team 6 when they killed OBL:

They offered to let me take the killing shot, but I declined.

Bill O'Reilly Also Lied About His War Experience, Mother Jones Claims
Perhaps Fox News host Bill O'Reilly feels some sympathy for NBC's Brian Williams now that O'Reilly, too, has been accused of overplaying his battleground experience.
On Thursday, Mother Jones posted an article questioning the accuracy of O’Reilly’s past claims that he "reported on the ground in active war zones from El Salvador to the Falklands" and "survived a combat situation in Argentina during the Falklands War."
"For years, O'Reilly has recounted dramatic stories about his own war reporting that don't withstand scrutiny -- even claiming he acted heroically in a war zone that he apparently never set foot in," David Corn and Daniel Schulman wrote.
They noted that O'Reilly's 2001 book, The No Spin Zone, makes no mention of the host witnessing combat in the Falklands. O'Reilly arrived in Buenos Aires just before the 1982 conflict ended, and as Mother Jones pointed out, that city is 1,200 miles from the Falkland Islands.
In addition, the Mother Jones article quoted a number of journalists who said U.S. reporters were unable to reach the islands during the conflict:
American reporters were not on the ground in this distant war zone. "Nobody got to the war zone during the Falklands war," Susan Zirinsky, a longtime CBS News producer who helped manage the network's coverage of the war from Buenos Aires, tells Mother Jones. She does not remember what O'Reilly did during his time in Argentina. But she notes that the military junta kept U.S. reporters from reaching the islands: "You weren't allowed on by the Argentinians. No CBS person got there."
''It's a hit piece'' he says

Bill O'Reilly: Mother Jones report 'garbage'
Bill O'Reilly says a new Mother Jones report alleging that the Fox News host made false claims about his Falklands War experience is "a piece of garbage" and that its principal author, David Corn, is "a liar."
In a telephone interview with the On Media blog, O'Reilly called Corn a "despicable guttersnipe" who has been trying to take him down "for years."
"It's a hit piece," O'Reilly said. "Everything I said about what I reported in South and Central America is true. Everything."

What part of what oreilly said was a lie, he said he was covering the falklands, he was in argentina where there was violence? Mother Jones is nitpicking, and oreilly is right david corn is an asshole.
ok , then knock yourself out.
