Title: No line at Fox News
Posted By: Jim Romenesko
 
From KEITH OLBERMANN: Subject -- Response to Ailes. "Over the line?" Where was Roger Ailes when Bill O'Reilly defended the Nazi SS stormtroopers from Malmedy in World War II? The SS shot 84 American POW's there in 1944, and three different times in the last year, Bill called has called those dead American heroes war criminals. I guess there is no line at Fox News.

From JEFFREY WEISS: For those of us who are history-challenged or aren't regular O'Reilly fans: Jewish World Review, June 27, 2005
Bill O'Reilly
After German SS troops massacred 86 American soldiers at Malmedy in Belgium on Dec. 17, 1944, some units like the U.S. 11th Armored Division took revenge on captured German soldiers.

And Crooks and Liars
Transcript:
O'Reilly: General! You need to look at the Malmedy massacre in World War Two, and the 82nd Airborne who did it!

And finally, an article from World War II magazine on the massacre itself.
