I noticed the author completely missed any reference to Barack Hussein Soetero Obama.

Glad to see Williams go. He was dangerous. He looked and acted like a CEO, but is a hard core leftist.100% Obama suck-up. The left will find him hard to replace.

All of American ‘journalism’ lost its credibility and CERTAINLY its integrity LOOOOOONG ago.

What Williams did (and routinely) is just the most recent, literal and crude display of what they all do and have BEEN doing for decades.

HE is the fall guy here.

I don't watch MSM news and haven't for a long time.

The ‘journalists’ are more and more like Hollywood wannabe’s all the time. Information (some of it not EVEN newsworthy) is delivered with a level of trite and sophomoric expression which is appalling.

An article in the Daily Mail claims “some people say” Katie Couric is in the running to replace Lyin’ Brian.

I agree with your comments, except for this one. The depth of their bench is almost bottomless. Like the Chinese when they attacked Korea. 2 more for every one you take out.

I aam sure that in the next few days, perhaps weeks, his Lawyer will negotiate a severance agreement with NBC and he will be gone.

So it was with Richard Nixon. Had he accepted personal responsibility, immediately, and then taken the steps, immediately, to investigate and resolve the matter, there would have been no Watergate scandal marring his legacy.

I doubt it. The Leftist Media, unable to win an election at the ballot box, was going to have their coup - no matter what.

The difference is that no one died in Watergate

Shw would not have the impact of Williams, but she qualifies for the all-American looking leftist.

Americans seem to hold newspeople to a higher standard of honesty and integrity than we do our presidents.

First...... there is a contract

Second to dismiss Williams, it must be done in accord with the contract

Someone guessed that within 6 months, a reason for dismissal within the contract can be discovered, made known to the Williams lawyers, and with a little luck, an out of court settlement can be negotiated

Everything else is obfuscation

“I noticed the author completely missed any reference to Barack Hussein Soetero Obama.”

That’s because, as Liar’s go, Brian Williams & Hillary Clinton aren’t even in his league. Bill Clinton was probably better because he didn’t need as much Media protection and couldn’t play the Race Card whenever things got tough.

They didn’t dare do nothing because it would be an admission that the media operates by the rather standard of truth — “I believe you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.”

They couldn’t very well fire him. He’s tops in the ratings, and firing him would be admitting that h/e got to the top dishonestly, by lying, like a professional athlete using PEDs.

So they tried to find a middle ground.

Williams lied about being at the Brandenberg Gate when the wall came down too.

This isn't casual lying. It's active contempt for his viewers. He thinks they're fools.

NBC thinks we're fools too. When the top person in a company steals, theft will run through the company.

When the top man is a liar - there will be lies and liars all though the organization. People take cues from their leaders - for good or ill. It's how human nature works.

NBC;s filled with liars, apologists and enablers. Watch - the filth start shaking out - up and down that company.

You are right, Obama is the King of all Liars.

He comes from a long line of liars, including his daddy the devil.

6 month suspension is the cowardly liberal PC way to fire someone. There isn’t Black or White with Liberalism, that’s why they fired him but didn’t.

All told, I'd rather have Bill Clinton lie to me than any of the other three. I knew he was a lyin' dawg, but at least he lied to me with that sweet Southern charm.

Williams is a cold fish. Hillary is screechy. Obama is ... I'll stop before the mods thump me.
