O'Reilly claimed he'd won a Peabody award (while he was with some entertainment show, but whatever). When they were on a panel together, Franken pointed out that he'd asked the folks at Peabody and they told him they had no records of O'Reilly winning the award. O'Reilly then said he'd never said he'd won a Peabody, and that he'd won a Polk award. Franken the pulled out the Lexis transcript of O'Reilly saying he'd won a Peabody. O'Reilly stormed off the panel. Franken pointed out later that Entertainment Weekly had won a Polk Award, but it was after O'Reilly had left the show.
Bad blood ever since.

What is O'Reilly's version of the story?
