Brian Williams: Natural Result of a Pathological NBC Culture
Newsbusters.com ^ | Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 02/08/2015 5:26:30 AM PST by RoosterRedux

What has happened at NBC News? Answer? Nothing that hasn’t been happening in slow motion for years.

Back there in the mists of January -- last month -- I wrote a story in this space about a group called the Conservative War Chest launching a major effort to call attention to what the group called the“corruption of American journalism” - with a specific and detailed focus on NBC and its Comcast owners. Released weeks before these latest stories about anchor Williams hit the fan the 65-page report provided chapter and verse about the culture of NBC and its cable sibling MSNBC. Brian Williams was cited by name, with example after example of what the group saw as extremely biased presentation of news stories. The group made the case that NBC was in such serious shape it needed to be cleaned out and restored to journalistic health with a serious, professional journalist at its head. Barely three weeks later, out pops these stories about Williams conduct in Iraq, his “apology” and his fanciful re-telling of Hurricane Katrina, with a body floating by his hotel in the un-flooded French Quarter.

Not NBC culture, liberal culture.

“The guy on the right has some kind of long stain down the inside of his pant leg and that guy on the far left is really creepy – especially when his Adam’s Apple jumps around when he gets excited! “

Here Chris, have a snickers bar. Better? (show picture of Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Chris Matthews). Better.

Brian Williams is just the one who got caught lying. There are plenty of others in the news biz that are either just as guilty or more so.

Also NBC,

Hillary’s sniper incident may be the only reason Comcast has NOT given the order for anchor away.

Precisely. You work in an environment that denies truth and ignores reality routinely... Lying in that situation would only tend to lead to promotions.

And the great god of news, Cronkite was pure as the driven snow!

The storyteller Charles Kuralt left some of his story back on the road.

Methinks the cave paintings of old had an angle, just has not been spotted.

I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for him to return to the air. He will be in line for an award down the road, celebrating his journalistic excellence however.

Ever since the passing of Cronkite, Huntley and Brinkley, the voice of the fellow that was NASA on TV, Jules Bergman, the entire television news society has turned into a multi-million dollar, no hair out of place, perfect complexion, perfect clothes, perfect teeth, shill. That goes for both male and female newscast personnel. They are all phonies.

What was journalism, in the days before the federal department of no edjumacation, was thrown in the dung heap. What had driven the real news, was replaced by the agendas of the newsies, or their producers, and how to sway public opinion towards THEIR viewpoints.

I believe everything that The Never Been Credible network tells us. They have been fake but accurate for decades.

The entire U.S. Mainstream Newsmedia is pathological! It is a propaganda machine!

Truth for its own sake is not even a consideration!

Truthfully informing the U.S. electorate--the American people--is not a consideration.

Propaganda is the objective--the manipulation of public opinion.

I doubt that these people even realize what they're doing, so entrenched are mendacity, corruption, delusion, and the manipulation of public opinion in their business.

And this is the single most dangerous development in the United States in the past few decades.

These people do not realize how dangerous their distortion and manipulation of information, their disinformation, their selective reporting and withholding of information, and their propaganda really are.

They think it's benevolent.

It's not

They use the "Dan Rather School of Fact Checking" just to make sure they are not spouting a bunch of crap.

True—there has been, since Fichte, and Wundt and especially Edwards Bernays, a total control of all ideas and information fed to the masses. They create the “proper perceptions” in the masses-—and people are literally destroyed if they go off of the allowed plantation. You have to understand Material Dialectics-—(the appearance of choice (Free Will) which never really exists in USA today.

The useful idiots may appear to lead to Freedom——but, in fact, they actually lead to totalitarianism—they are manipulated and just keep the masses content with the status quo-—and the slippery slope goes on -—controlled by the few billionaire sodomite elites who bought off the courts and politicians 100 years ago.... who are so demonic, they want total control of all private property and all men. The US Constitution has been the only thing stopping them—so they destroyed it totally now. The destruction started right after the adoption of the Constitution, since the Satanic few have always desired power. Our Constitution doesn’t exist anymore-—it is in shambles and made meaningless by the destruction of Words and Language and the flipping of Good and Evil. Rule of Law is no more. We have Rule of Man-— anarchy ( the pagan system of Might makes Right). Just judges dictating their “truths” and lies as “good” and rejection of the Universal Objective Truths of the Constitution. No longer “Laws of Nature and nature’s God” which creates the only true Freedom—and true Rights which are ONLY Individual. Collectives can’t have “just” systems with disregard for the Natural Rights of Individuals.

Those who go “off” the “group think only” are demonized, destroyed or killed (like Breibart if they have the ability to get the Truth out).

The Truth/God is more feared than anything else, and must be shut down completely (suppressed by Laws (unconstitutional in USA) so that the ignorant masses stay in their “happy slavery” and are so dumb, they believe the irrational and whatever the State dictates (Vaccines are “safe” or whatever)-—like “Snow is Black” and Slavrey is Freedom and Sodomy is a Virtue.

It is all to destroy the minds of any children (destroys Logic and Reason and the ability to think critically) growing up in the toxic culture which discards all the ideology which created the US Constitution and Individualism (Natural Rights come from God only). Can’t have the Individual mindset/Christian Worldview) for “happy slave” /peasant/serf/tribal collective cultures——all people who are incapable of profound thinking and seeing the Truth/God.

I hear that Dan Rather is in line for the position.

I can’t believe I’m agreeing with a Mike Luckovich cartoon. He’s a nasty, lying lib who takes orders directly from the White House.

He’s one reason the AJC is known as The Atlanta Urinal and Constipation.

Hey, now, that Adams apple comment was uncalled for.
Rachel Maddow is a fine young fellow.

They are “useful idiots” . It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn stated in his Harvard Commencement speech in 78——that our press was no better than Pravda’s.

Of course, we were “told” the Big Lie over and over-—that we had a Free Press and people in those years believed it because people were basically good and naive (then) and believed that human beings had some integrity.

All MSM is used to control perceptions and create a Marxist Worldview in children. It is to destroy Virtue in people, which will collapse civil society. It was Gramsci/Lukacs plans to destroy Free Will and make people so irrational they will believe “Snow is Black” and any irrational thing the State dictates-—like boys can be girls and male/females are interchangeable. It destroys Natural Law—and the Natural Family-—which destroys the ability for children to be normal and rational and not warped, manipulated and controlled by the State.

We have to return to true education: Classical Education which includes knowledge and understanding of the Bible.
