Ok, the dude’s definitely a fabricator, but I’m going to have to give him a pass on this one. Remembering whether he was at the Brandenburg gate the night it went down vs. the day after. It was after all more than 25 years ago. I can actually see him getting this mixed up in his head. I’m not being sarcastic here either. This is a minor faux paus IMO.

Tom Brokaw can’t find a bus long enough, he should have went to the rail station......now Brokaw is crowing “Ive been telling them for a long time” (meaning NBC)
Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy watching the dog pile...but Brokaw
I despise.

That’s why they’re called ‘journalists’. There used to be a presumption that anyone so called was relating the story from their own particular viewpoint, as from a personal journal. The left loves the ‘objectivity’ hoax, but sometimes it catches up to them.

He couldn’t remember if the wall was up or down when he arrived? One of the most historical moments of the last 50 years, which is why he brought it up. Sorry no pass from me.

I’m in total agreement with you about Brokaw.

A reporter is someone who reports. A journalist is someone who shares their journal entries.

A journal is not a diary of facts. You can write anything in a journal. Memories, thoughts, poetry, short stories, fantasies... The point of a journal is to write, not to relate historical facts.

We don’t have reporters anymore, if we ever did. We have journalists. We shouldn’t be surprised when they share their journal entries.

“If you like your plan, you can keep your plan. Period.”

That was a NUANCED 'period'.

If you like you plan, you can keep your plan... until you can't

I am so sick of hearing about B. Williams and his lies. His reputation and professional life is in ruins, mission accomplished. The hypocrites in the media and on the net will find someone else to kick around soon enough. I wish they could give it a rest already.

Don’t blame Brian Williams, Walter Cronkite LIED to him on those old “YOU are there!” tv broadcasts...
