William’s “body floated by face down outside my French Quarter hotel I never thought I’d ever see that in America” nonsense he expounded was in support of the “Bush’s botched response to Katrina” narrative the MSM was furiously pushing. No one was pushing that narrative more furiously than NBC and Brian Williams.

I’ve been flicking over there more and more and find their history facts very interesting.
FO and friends has been going to look like the today show since Hasslebank as gone on the show.
I’, not interested in cooking, puppies and interviews with dances with the stars.

I can't help but wonder about the strange psychosis that inhabits the minds and hearts of liberal people. I know they are not alone in prevarication and embellishment, but they seem not only prone to lying in greater numbers, their behavior is normally accepted within lib circles.

In their minds (seeing themselves as gods), they don't lie. Truth is generated when they speak it into existence.

Gen 1.3. And God said, Let there be light; and there was light:

Another component is the ginormous saleries of newsreaders and other in entertainment who lie spontaneously or on command. *That's* why they command the big bucks. They've covenanted with falsehood to keep their high standards of living.

Explains why so many in Hollyweird will spout global warming nonsense, "green" dogma, or promote cultural degredation and sexual perversion. They delude themselves, convinced that support of that which is contrary to natural law is the ultimate virtue. Otherwise they fear that they'll end up "slumming" along in life like the - Gasp! - middle class.

Brian Williams is just another idiot playing stupid games in order to win stupid prizes.

Unfortunately the part that will be over looked is that this is merely a reflection of the entire MSM.

Agreed, my FRiend. So many MSM opinion-casters have their own falsehoods "out there".

I really hope they ax this guy. And got back to Katie - to see their ratings fall.

Brian Williams lied about the RPG attack, Katrina, saving one or two dogs in a fire, and being robbed at gunpoint as a kid.

He has Hillary-itis. Can’t speak without making stuff up.

Well, there actually isn’t much all that new about this to those of who visit FR regularly……..the only thing new is that Lyin Brian has gotten caught rather red handed. It could have been somebody or other on CBS, ABC or CNN… but Nothing But Crap certainly seems to do this with great aplomb and consistency. It does make for interesting discussion with my liberal ‘friends’ and acquaintances who want to blather on about Faux News….

Which hotel was he in? I stayed in the Quarter when I was in New Orleans.

Ok... so is there anything that Brian has said in the past that we know with absolute surety was the truth?

Cronkite was just as deceptive IMHO; maybe even worse.

That's true.

Cronkite reported the Tet Offensive as a major loss for America when in fact it was a huge success. Far more heinous than the valor Williams stole.

You guys need to get off your high horses! This lying by Brian Williams is minor compared to what you Christians did during the Crusades.

Fox News' Shep Smith was piling on also.

I recall one liberal reporter actually included McCarthy in a 1950s diatribe during a live newscast. It is amazing how sick the liberal mind is.

Yes!

I just LOVE how media matters is gleeful that Fox News' demographics are "old white people".

Who the hell is watching CBS 60 Minutes every week?

Hint: "old white people".

I haven't seen an episode since my grandparents died.

Even so, they were republicans.

I think they liked the program, but they also could smell bull$hit from a mile away.

When there were 3 major networks, plus PBS you could get away with being liberal pablum pukers.

Uncle Walter Cronkite, the "most trusted man in America" was a dirty communist.

I didn't know it as a kid, but BOY, how America "trusted" this a$$hole for all those years is a mystery.

The only thing new that I saw was that the hotel manager is saying that lyin Brian is full of bovine excrement.

Nice. A nationally recognized talking head smacked down by hotel manager from the Bayou.

French Built their town on High Ground (wisely it seems) and it didn’t flood like the 9th Ward.

The same here. I am increasingly switching from fox to OANN when fox starts with all the celebrity B.S. and other things that I do not care at all about.
