What’s to probe? He admitted it.

That said, this episode really doesn’t change my opinion of NBC news or the media in generally. They are all neck deep in dishonest narrative reportage. They’re not about news gathering, but about information management.

Oh, and don’t forget that MSNBC is part of NBC news.

This is happening because the media was complicit in selling us the bill-of-goods that is Barack Obama.

Lying has never been a punishable offense, by anyone in the media, prior to now.

Why now? Because the people are pissed. NBC’s phone ringing off the hook. Especially angry are their viewers who realize their party is now dead as a doornail. It’s a mass emotional reaction to having been had.

‘Must really hurt.

Since this is such an important issue they will assign their top personality Brian Williams to head the investigation.

Look,, this how it could play out.He is going to get on camera; sniffle a bit, dry a tear, say he is sorry. Claim he has had some problems, and is going into rehab. Spend a month in seclusion. Then back on the job. See? Fixed it.

Now what’s going to happen to the idiots like Brokaw and the NBC heads that admitted to knowing this guy lied for years AND DID NOTHING?

He says to me “don’t tell mom, I told her I just built roads”.

Speaking as a mom.... what a good son! Please tell him thanks for me!

I'm the bright faced kid with my hat pulled back. I was there with John Wesley Powell in 1872. He's standing there on the left with his dangling arm. Really it is me...

Don’t worry NBC, any credibility you had was lost many moons ago.

To kick Williams out the door...they would need to have some graceful five-star character ready to enter.

I think Lester will do okay as the main reader of the news.
