WE should let NBC know, Brian Williams' "apology" so far is not acceptable.

“I’ve also read that NBC News will not release the results of their own investigation into Williams’ serial lies. .....”

Of course. Why would liars investigate other liars?

The very definition of an outright lie is telling something that is not true IN ORDER TO MISLEAD PEOPLE. How hard is this to understand?

The problem with liberals is that lies are okay if they can somehow justify them in their twisted little minds to mean something relevant to their own ideologies. He’s pond scum. Skim it off and throw it over into the sun on some dirt and let it bake out.

“I was not trying to mislead people,” he said.

Oh....I see. This was all one big prank, perhaps? Move over, Andy Kauffman.

Williams made two big mistakes here — in what was probably his last chance at a second chance. First, he refused to admit that he lied and lied and lied and lied. His claim that he didn’t try to deliberately mislead people is simply preposterous. His real-time whoppers from Katrina (witnessing suicides that didn’t happen, floating dead bodies, roving gangs) had a devastating effect on then-President Bush. There were real world consequences to Williams’ tall tales. It wasn’t all fodder for late night talk shows. Secondly, Williams refused an opportunity to correct the record on his lies. I’ve also read that NBC News will not release the results of their own investigation into Williams’ serial lies.

Two things:

1. I guess it depends on what the meaning of “mislead” is in lib land.

2. 1st “rule of holes” is when your in one......stop digging.

What a dip-squat! Lying is “misleading” by definition. What a dull dense perfumed dandy boy! The perfect model of the New American Male, full of self promoting fantasy and void of real courage.

Brian Williams and Hillary both ducked imaginary bullets... both liars.

I’ll bet Brian is stunned his liberal elite bosses would even care that he’s a liar. I’m stunned they care...

Wish they would care about Hillary’s tall tales...

I Was Not Trying To Mislead People

I'll respond like I did with my children when they were young.

What were you trying to do, Brian?

I am puzzled why he took a slary reduction and demotion to MSNBC. I would think that with his high priced Lawyer he would have negotiated a big buyout of his current 5 YR $10 Million per year contract and gone somewhere else like Dan Rather did.

Yep, I knew he still wasn’t admitting to lying. He worded the previous non-apology too carefully.

Liberals hate traditional Americans so much they'll forgive liar Brian a thousand times over. Liberls' only 'tolerance' is for each other... John Nolte's giving them too much credit.
