TPMMuckraker Bill O'Reilly: December 2011
Fox News host Bill O'Reilly on Thursday night explained his now infamous encounter with a protestor, claiming he used his umbrella to shield himself because the man carrying a hi-definition camera while asking him about a Newt Gingrich fundraiser "could have had a knife."
O'Reilly claimed that Wisconsin activist Branden Lane (interviewed by TPM here) came up behind him screaming but implied he never hit the man with an umbrella.

Jon Stewart has long tracked the nation's war on Christmas. And this year he declared war himself. "If there has been a war, Christmas is the aggressor nation," Stewart said earlier this week. But Stewart has lost his humbug spirit.
"Look how war ages a man," Stewart said Thursday. On Wednesday, "one of Santa's unusually large elves fired back" at Stewart: Fox News host Bill O'Reilly responded to Stewart's segment saying, "There is no question Mr Stewart is going to hell."
