All,

This has been a difficult few days for all of us at NBC News.

Yesterday, Brian and I spoke to the Nightly News team. And this morning at the Editorial Exchange, we both addressed the wider group. Brian apologized once again, and specifically expressed how sorry he is for the impact this has had on all of you and on this proud organization.

Another full time Obama apologist is forgiven, because he looks innocent on TV.

Why lie? It was so unnecessary.

Now the guy looks like a habitual liar.

Maybe he is. Maybe he only lied a few times.

Now he’s pretty much toast.

These two incidents, the helicopter and the puppy in a fire, and possibly the hurricane, what stupid things to lie about.

I don’t think his job survives this.

“As a relentless news agenda marches on”

At least they admit that...

Yea that could happen.

The memo from on high is just a deliberate stall till some parachute-less ISIS hostages are pushed out of airplanes at high altitudes this weekend....and Brian's fabrications are pushed off the front pages....along with Obama's attack on the Christian faith.

If this had been Rush or Sarah, the media world would be in a feeding frenzy that made sharks look like Vegan anorexics.

“Proud organization”?

All,

It's been a difficult week. Blah blah blah blah. We're currently trying to figure out a way to make this go away. Blah blah blah blah. We don't want anyone looking at Brian's Katrina story. Blah blah blah blah. When we have confirmation that one of our health correspondents is ready to come out and declare that poor Brian has PTSD and that it caused him to misremember the events, we'll let you know. Blah blah blah.

I don’t really understand why NBC cares that they have been caught lying their ass off.

I guess they believe they have a credible reputation.

News Flash .. You haven’t had a credible reputation for some time. Continue on as usual.

Deborah Turness, president of NBC news (and the memo writer) was a British-born journalist. Her second husband holds a minor position in the British communications ministry. They were married in 2011.

Two years earlier, their daughter, Fleur, was born.

Well, that's usually the case when you employ and coddle liars and dishonest people.

They really circle the wagons for one of their own. It’s more than I can say for the GOP when one of their conservatives is under attack by the left. Then the tall grass is filled with cowering Republicans establishment types.

NBC is just worried if they fire Lyin’ Brian, it will reflect badly on Kankles’ own phony story about the snipers. Must not let anything get in the way of Kankles ascension to the throne.
