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.

The money quote:

While liberals in the media have always been present, with the advent of Rush Limbaugh, talk radio, Fox News and the Internet the absolute monopoly once held by liberals in the media has been destroyed, gone for good. The reaction has been to drive the liberals to ever increasing fury, absolutely determined to hold to their liberal narratives in the media until hell freezes over or they go down with the ship.

Good one.
No doubt Lyin Brian fantasized about saying just this.

He has demonstrated a pathology that is worthy of Baker Act(ing)...for anyone but a liberal. For them it is considered normal behavior.

To me, this sounds like a cop who goes berzerk and guns down three little old ladies and then takes himself to the Chief of Police and and says: "Chief, I've decided to place myself on administrative leave until all the facts are in."

I'm really not sure it works this way.

I'm pretty sure that Brian Williams was told that he would not be on the air for a few days. Which is to say -- I think Brian Williams is lying about why he won't be on the air for a few days.

I’m sure he reported all the “news” straight down the middle.
Right.

It's lying only if you lose track of the narrative.

Also here's a more subtle way of lying.

If the Society of Professional "Journalists" advocates this what's to keep them from advocating adding a little oomph to the narrative of a story -- and get across to the public the MSM's take on matters?

The employees of the MSM were urged (ordered?) to never, never mention terror with Muslims -- if they absolutely had to include the word terror with Muslim they must also list domestic terrorists such as anti-abortion people.

Society of Professional Journalists Advocates Whitewashing Islam The link is to a 2008 article but I remember that the Society of Professional "Journalists" issued these instructions in Oct of 2001.

In fact IMO the SP"J" does advocate narrative journalism and IMO the only thing Williams did wrong was he couldn't keep track of his lies (narrative).

NBC and the rest of the fifth-column MSM have no credibility. One might as well replace the pathological liar Brian, and Lester and the NBC Nightly News, with a real professional, Tommy Flanagan.

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!

LOL! Liberalism is a mental disease and we have it digging it’s claws into us throughout society. Liberal professors lie, too. “Everybody does it.”
