Brian Williams will return his journalistic “award” for honest reporting on the same day as the New York Times will do it for Walter Duranty, This drunk won a Pulitzer for lying about the “paradise” in Russia; the Cheka plied him with women and booze and he lied, very effectively in NYT reporting, that there was no famine in Ukraine (8 million+ deliberately and openly starved to death by Stalin); and everyone was just so happy in the new socialist world (the gulags were not mentioned and the people in them not interviewed). The NY Times has never apologized; don’t expect NBC to either. The 1930s were best characterized as “a low, dishonest decade”, sounds like the current times.
Oh, I never believed Williams would return the Peabody on his own.
My issue is with our worthless GOP leadership.
In 2005, the MSM instantly politicized (and lied about) the Katrina tragedy.
They beat the GOP to a political pulp with that story all the way through the catastrophic 2006 and 2008 elections.
Almost every major story the MSM pushed in those years was exaggerated, deceitful, or unverified.
So, when Brian Williams hands the GOP a golden opportunity to fight back and to reveal MSM bias, the GOP leadership does exactly what we expect...
Nothing!
