Bob Costas Backtracking On O’Reilly Factor After Glorifying Putin

Bill O’Reilly invited Bob Costas on the Monday night edition of O’Reilly Factor to let him try and defend his gushing coverage of Vladimir Putin and Russia during the Sochi Olympics.

Costas dismissed the whole thing as a “non-issue” and a “flimsy pretext for a controversy.” He said that he was “repeatedly” critical of Putin’s regime and human rights record on a number of occasions during the Olympics, only no one remember that.. BUT we do remember this bit!
