Brian Williams Katrina Diary: No Floating Body Nor Dysentery But Lots of Bush Bashing
NewsBusters ^ | February 8, 2015 | P.J. Gladnick

Ironically, the biggest witness against the exaggerated claims of Brian Williams' Hurricane Katrina fabulism turns out to be Brian Williams himself. His diary entries in the NBC News Daily Nightly online journal from the time of Hurricane Katrina hitting New Orleans to the aftermath several days later shows no mention of his many disputed claims.

A detailed analysis of Brian Williams' Daily Nightly journal entries from August 29, 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans until our puppy-rescuing hero was safely out of harm's way shows no references to a floating body in the French quarter, drinking floodwater, catching dysentery, a five-star hotel hotel overrun by gangs, nor of a dramatic rescue in a stairwell by a young police officer with whom brian is "friends to this day." However, Brian's Daily Nightly journal is chock full of Bush bashing as you can see in his Sept. 2 entry:

I think he slipped on the diarrhea, bonked his head, and then started spinning his tall tales.

He probably got a bad case of e. coli from his boyfriend. There's usually a kernel of truth to every outrageous lie.

It wasn’t a diary. It’s a science fiction novel. I think the next paragraph was “Mark Zuckerberg stole my idea from facebook. I invented facebook dammit! I even called it Brian’s Book”. Effing libtard liar...

Thankfully Al Gore invented the Internet, and now that is being used to discover Brian Williams’ many lies . . .

I remember reading back then an article from somewhere, that Blanco recieved (77?) calls from Harry Reid during the time Bush personally called Blanco begging her to evacuate those people. The item said Reid told her to give NO information to Bush, no help to FEMA and NO info on what what was needed in order to make Bush look inept. There is no article on this internet that I can find now, repeating this. I do remember that Blanco (caught between the Dems smears and Bush’s begging for information on what she needed)broke down crying saying “Everything, Everything.” That is no way to coordinate the Feds with the State as the Dems tried to make it look like the Feds took over the state unconstitutionally.

You are right, back then Williams gets on the national news, and lies about what he saw and what President Bush didn't do, and the American sheeple listened and believed.

That's the real crime in all this. The damage the lies caused. Because the sheeple are conditioned to believe what ever the media says.

And they are conditioned to not believe the truth because of all the lies they hear.

And it was all pushed under the rug.

I guaran-damn-tee if it wasn’t for the way Katrina was reported by the MSM, there’s no way Barack Obama becomes President.

If NBC knew back then and did nothing their FCC license should be forfeited. If NBC didn’t know back then, they were and are utterly incompetent and their FCC license should be forfeited.
