Sharyl Attkisson: Why Did Hillary Survive a Brian Williams-like Tale?
Newsmax ^

Posted on 02/10/2015 5:34:00 AM PST by bryan999

Emmy Award-winning journalist Sharyl Attkisson, who covered the story of Hillary Clinton's lie about being shot at in Bosnia, says she can't understand how the former secretary of state weathered the scandal while NBC News anchor Brian Williams may not.

"To me, part of the irony is if Brian Williams isn't able to survive it — that we think it's important enough when somebody gives this kind of story that he would lose his career — yet we didn't care enough to have it matter that much with someone who became our secretary of state," Attkisson said Monday on "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"[A person] we relied on for honest answers and truths in the aftermath of Benghazi and so on."

This Williams fiasco is hurting Hillary since people are being reminded of her delusions as well. The Republicans ought to use pictures of Williams and Clinton nice and cozy with each other.

Because it was Bush's Fault, and you're a misogynistic bigot.

Besides, it's her turn...

Because NBC is susceptible to the vagaries of the free market place and does not want to take an economic hit, until they can attain official government news agency status, at which time they will then be invulnerable to the displeasures of the people. Think Pravda.

Because everyone knows that politicians lie. Its a given. But the guy reading you the news is suppose to be reliable.

For liberals, Lyin’ Williams is just another useful idiot, to be tossed when no longer useful.

I completely agree. This storyline and connection has "legs" if it continues to be hammered.

Not to mention the Benghazi lies, more lies, and still more lies from Satan's daughter.

To be sure. But the same could be said for the hildebeast. Look how she was unceremoniously dumped by her own in favor of the Øbomessiah in 2008. The only thing leftists get sentimental about is degenerate sex.

Because HRC is a politician. People expect politicians to lie.

Yep. It is mandatory that the American people realize that they are being asked to vote for a delusional, alcoholic lesbian as their President.

She survived because she owned up to it in a giggling, cackling fashion which is how she presents herself when she wants to come off as her charming self, and the media jumps in and tries to emphasize the pathetic, fake charm, and minimize the lie.
