see? all i said was that moose just threw her in the title; without a valid reason, just to toss a bit of mud. i never said anything about supporting hillary. also...i'm no woman, regardless. :?
I discredit them because they are wrong in their actions. I've also discredited republicans. If I had a beer and a few hours, I'd be able to toss up all sorts of crap about George w bush, and, generally, when lefties bash bush, I remain silent or join in, as he's got lots of issues too. What I don't want this thread to slide into, however, is a morass of moral equivocation. The fact I'm gleeful about catching the media out about its lies doesn't change the fact that they lie. And the fact that I'm distressed with the "right" when it lies or does rotten things doesn't change the fact that they have done rotten things too. Its just that today's topic on the news is about Brian Williams fantastic fabrications about stolen valor. Hillary's stolen valor can be the topic for another thread. I'll leave her alone for the rest of this thread
Brian Williams should be fired. At minimum. Apart from my distaste of people who steal valor and try to lie and pretend they were what they are not....but a respected journalist and anchor?! What a sad disrespectful man. Every second he is a part of their organization, I lose more and more respect for them NBC folks. You should hear the audio of him "blundering" his story ON LETTERMAN. It's insane. He's a pathological liar and a sociopath. Thinking he would go on the air and not think the people that were with him in Iraq would not say anything? How can he even walk out of his house anymore without an egg careening into his head? He's done. Said Brian Williams: "We were in some helicopters. What we didn’t know was we were north of the invasion,” Williams told Letterman at the time, a version of events from his time embedded with U.S. forces in 2003 he repeated before and since. “We were the northernmost Americans in Iraq. We were going to drop some bridge portions across the Euphrates so the 3rd Infantry could cross on them. Two of our four helicopters were hit by ground fire, including the one I was in (by) RPG and AK-47 (fire).”- Daily News Mobile. He better watch out. His disrespect has angered many. And those who are angry, are mostly the highest trained military force on the planet. Smooth move, Ex-Lax.
Willy: he should be fired, but, take a bet. I bet he survives this. If Williams falls, that opens the door for others to fall tool and the media won't want that
I don't know. This all depends on the blowback on NBC...and it shouldn't. They should plop him in a Mercedes, and have him drive around in Fallujah for a while. See how badass he thinks he is then.
dude has actually spent time in war zones before, that part is true. he has come under fire in war zones before.
The interesting thing about the Williams lie is that lots of people at NBC had to know. There are the producers and the script writers and a staff of people that were with Williams at the time of the "incident" and not one spoke out. So although I fault Williams for being a liar, I also fault NBC for being a willing collaborator
@Wordwaster that's because Moose is awesome, and Hillary isn't. If you aren't smart enough to draw a parallel between Brain Williams and Hillary Clinton's story telling I don't know what to say...I know you are smart enough though. Here I'll leave with my fav Gif of the day. Have a good weekend!! All of you. I love you all. Thank you. Thank God. Thank you mom and Dad. Xoxoxo
