Waiting for Mo’s Hillary expose...

So everybody knew about this but kept mum until it exploded? How typical.

Rules.

Why, yes.....the New York Times knew he was a liar, but he was their kind of liar. He was a good Liberal. And they were too small to do anything about it.
Hahahahahahahahaha!
The New York Times.....one big comic book.

Well I’ll be damned.

Brian Williams was doing OK, but after he saw The Legend of Ron Burgundy, he couldn’t help but inflate his experiences. /S

Slightly OT , but I read a book about the D- Day invasion that described Hemingway as a war correspondent. It basically said he was a gold plated, prima donna pain in the ass, and that he carried a pistol until the army took it away from him.

Frothy morning shows long ago became the more important anchoring real estate, garnering more revenue and subsidizing the news division. One anchor exerted moral authority once and that was Walter Cronkite, because he risked his career to go on TV and tell the truth about the fact that we were losing the Vietnam War.

This cannot be allowed to stand. We weren't losing the war until Uncle Walt took the Tet Offensive for a 'spin'.

Nobody is even mentioning how Dan Rather once claimed he was a US Marine.

I don’t get it.

[ConorMacNessa]

I know why! He had a liaison with John F'in Kerry!

Seared, I say, seared in his memory!

"I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life.
I am prepared to give my life in their defense."

Oh my God! This celebrated, cosetted, privileged, keyboard pusher is shamefully ignorant of the proper use of the English language. In the fourth paragraph, she writes When Williams was declared the [sic] hair apparent to Tom Brokaw....

Hair Apparent??HAIR APPARENT??

It's heir apparent you dumb horse's rear end.

But of course she relies on her computer's spell checker to catch any such mistakes, notorious for failing to catch spellings in which a homonym throws in a monkey's wrench into her reputation as that of no being an ignoramus.

[Deagle]

Let me guess... You and most other Media folks already knew about this problem but decided to stay quiet...right?

So, does that make all of you complacent in this deception?

I say YES!

[Nextrush]

Just like Dan Rather he went too far......

Deep down I believe Lyin Brian’s resume inflation has to do with his academic failure. He attended 3 colleges over the years and yet he accumulated a total of only 18 college credits. But in 2005 he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters from Bates College, from which his father had graduated. I suspect Bates is regretting that honorary award to Brian. I had a similar failure in my youth, attending five colleges and achieving no degree. It was only after my father’s death that I graduated at age seventy with a bachelor’s degree...and with summa cum laude honors.

Fame went to his head. I hadn’t paid a tremendous amount of attention until I started watching what was happening in 2008. Many of his statements and “journalistic” behavior made me think he had a very strange outlook on things.

I normally switched away from NBC News if I happened to look, if he was anchoring that night. Already knew what to expect.
