Brian Williams is "an honest, decent man, an excellent reporter and anchor--and a brave one," veteran newsman Dan Rather told POLITICO on Thursday 
To: Kaslin
At the Alphabet News agencies if the story doesn't fit their narrative the story must be changed. If the story doesn't exist to fit the narrative make one up. I feel like I'm living in Orwell's 1984 only without the good times!

Mr. Cronkite would without a doubt be mortified ...
Jealous, more likely, that Americans have been so dumbed down to the point that Williams and Blather could get away with so overt lies for so long.

Ole Fake But Accurate defends Lyin Brian, that settles it, he needs to find a new line of work.

“Blunder” implies an unintentional foolish act.

The news media has been lying through their teeth since Viet Nam since I have noticed. What is new? They just got more exposure due to the internet.

If alive today, Mr. Cronkite would without a doubt be mortified to see how far American journalism has fallen.
...
If he were alive today, he could try to explain his dishonest coverage of the Vietnam war.

I say we waterboard him until he fesses up to everything he’s reported that might be a lie.

“Blunder”?
Habitual lying is not a “blunder”.

... none delivers a stronger punch to the gut than when the poster boy of American journalism is found to be no more than a highly paid liar.
...
People who will tell the truth are a dime a dozen. Liberals and other shady people will pay top dollar for an accomplished liar.

Whether or not the author knows the difference between a rock band and a magazine, a Townhall editor should know that Mick Jagger didn’t unravel in Charlottesville.

Conkite was a major lair also. He said that “The war is lost” after the largest victory since WWII in the Tet 68 battle. Our forces killed 17 enemy to one during Tet and set the North Viet Mamese back years in the losses. John Kerry tried to help the north as well as well as Jane Hanoi Fonda but it was Conkite that got the ear of the public.
