NBCs Williams telling it to David Letterman... war hero.

On the one hand, no one watches the evening news anymore anyway, so it is not much more important than who the hosts on The View are.

Still, Tom Brokaw is the closest thing they have to someone with some dignity and minimal credibility. When he says you have to go, how can they leave him in there?

Why, I recall the time that Abe Lincoln called me up on my cell phone to ask what do to about this whole States Rights thing. I gave him an earful, alright. Told him to check the Wikipedia on slavery (this was shortly after I had invented the Internet).

Oops. I may have "conflated" a few different events. But this was confirmed by an unimpeachable source and numerous forensic document examiners and typography experts.

In a way, that's a shame. I remember Cokie Roberts when she'd do a story on ABC Evening News. She was biased of course, but not so much as typical network news is now. She delivered her report with clarity and insight. Her and Peter Jennings made a great team, IMO.

But those days are long gone. At least we have a sense of what our parents had when they watched the evening news.

Were you aware that Cokie Roberts' father was Hale Boggs, former Speaker of the House and her mother was Lindy Boggs, who took over his seat? Did you know that her brother was infamous super lobbyist Tommy Boggs? All lifelong, died in the wool democrats. That's the media's idea of non-biased and objective.
 
It's hysterical to watch the left rally to BW's aid. Could you imagine if (say) Rush Limbaugh was caught telling whoppers like that? And he's (more or less) self employed.

And for the record, I'm not saying BW should go. So he lied up a storm. Who doesn't expect that from the libtard MSM? I think they should keep him around and keep trying to claim unbiased, truthful journalism. They are already a joke, why stop now?
 
BRIAN WILLIAMS: I ONCE SAVED A PUPPY FROM A BURNING HOUSE
As attention now centers on the many things Brian Williams has reported over his years at NBC, a new story just emerged that stretches the bounds of believability. Writing in USA Today in 2011, the anchor of "Nightly News," talked about his days as a volunteer firefighter in New Jersey. And shares one episode of modest heroism:


My firehouse was a modest engine company — three engines, three garage doors and about 30 of the best men I’ve ever known. We fought all the usual fires that break out in the suburbs: brush fires, car fires, dumpsters, dryers, light fixtures — and worst of all, the occasional house, already in flames when we arrived. I remember one such house fire — the structure was fully involved with flames and smoke. I was wearing a breathing apparatus, conducting a search on my hands and knees, when I felt something warm, squishy and furry on the floor of a closet. I instinctively tucked it in my coat. When I got outside, I saw two small eyes staring up at me, and I returned the 3-week-old (and very scared) puppy to its grateful owners.

Is that standard protocol for firefighters? To just aimlessly crawl around the floor of a home burning up in flames, in the off-chance you might stumble upon something? He "instinctively" grabbed the "warm, squishy and furry" object despite not knowing what it was?

Even more curious is his earlier version of this same story. Talking to Esquire in 2005, Williams boasted, "All I ever did as a volunteer fireman was once save two puppies." Note that he didn't say "save two puppies," which could have meant saving an individual puppy on two occasions. He clearly says this happened "once."

Which has us wondering if it ever happened at all.
