Brian Williams Says "He's Too Much Part Of The News" - Takes Himself Off Daily Broadcast

Tyler Durden's picture




 

With the weight of Tom Brokaw on his shoulders (and neck), NBC's Brian Williams has written a note to NBC Staff...

A Personal Note from Brian Williams

 

In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions.

 

As Managing Editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue.

 

Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us.

Trust is Transitory...

"I think they ought to strap these guys to a polygraph and show the readout in a corner of the screen during the broadcast."

But then they would have nothing to broadcast--"In tonight's broadcast we have some spin and bullshit from the White House, and lies, and nonsense from the State Department. And not to be outdone, the Pentagon has some deception, and falsehoods, to sell you as well. So stay tuned, otherwise you might miss some bullshit to repeat at the water cooler tomorrow."

Well, it wasn't anything super special but I came at it from the angle of all the other people who almost certainly knew he was lying for 10 YEARS.  Certainly the guys in the choppers did.  But I've also heard that the NBC execs knew it, too.  It would be nice to see this little snowball start rolling downhill and gather enough speed to start sucking them in as well.  The MSM thinks they can say anything to the American people with impunity, including not just blatant bias, but outright lies.  

Brian's "time off" is nothing but NBC execs buying time so they can review tapes and figure out how many more lies he told and if they can be denied or explained away.  They know if he goes down, so do many execs at NBC news along with him.

I was just trying to make this point to the family. All the higher ups that knew this whole thing was a lie from the beginning:

Obviously the others personally involved-camerman, etc.

His direct bosses @ NBC. In theory he told them this story from day one, but that seems doubtful, given...

NBC liason with the military was assumedly in contact with him/them immediately afterwards if not in real time

The military higher ups, who let him run with the story. I might actually let them off the hook, since they have no duty to dispute the story and from their persepctive, who really cares?

 

So, if all these people knew, doesnt it necessarily indict all those involved and show that NBC news may as well just make anything up? May as well just admit that if you dont care about the story, and dont immediately demand he get fired (which some of my fam felt), then just admit that the 'news' is a farce and never be concerned with any issue they report?

I never placed my trust in the Khazar Robertson family which owns Comcast and NBC and was paying Chelsea Clinton 600,000 dollars a year to fart at home doing nothing, just as it has employed family members of politicans in many of the markets where it has monopoly cable rights.  Nor do I trust the gentile shit that sold its soul to these devils.  They took a few million so the Khazars could make billions off the backs of other gentiles. A small example is AIPAC contributions to politicians stand at a total of 21 million dollars, that they get back perhaps a thousand times back as billions of aid for Israel, not to mention control of markets and command of the printing press via presidential appointments of AIPAC members to the FED and treasury.

I'm not belieing the whole "I took myself off the air" BS either, just another false asservation to make himself, nd the network look better (can just picture Brokaw chuckling at all of this)

Clearly, at a  minimum the caer crew knew also, they should be fired and/or called into uestion as well. This isn't about "judging" Brian, but evidence what appears to be the standard operating procedure of the media

 

What is especially striking in the interview with Letterman, when he "remembers" the incident e describes down to very specific details as to "what happened", not like a general rendiditon, but minte special facts. I believe part of  this clerly is some type of deep seatd nsecurity in Williams, seeking self aggrandization.

 

Really gets you thinking as to how much manipulation takes place in news reporting to get the agenda out to the public, and how pulls those strings to make sure that message, subliminal or not, is out their in our face 24-7

if it did not continue, the sheep would see a difference and become scared.  any major change in tv would be as if the sun did not rise.  the sheep can not be left alone without the tv.  they will find some other guy that looks the same, and slot it in.

Alternative media using open records laws and financial forensic techniques are blowing the lids off of pots of corruption all over. In so doing, even smaller city and county media are being exposed like a Williams. There isn't  any money in the truth, but there are $millions and $billions to be had by having a media operation in with related entities feeding off of governnent money. The media side makes the bed nice and comfy for the 'Big Daddy" This is epidemic in Georgia. Only the holy rollers have a better scam.

I hear QVC may being hiring for adspots to sell self cleaning catboxes and Shamwows.

If Williams can sell the drivel coming out of his mouth as news, he should be able to sell anything.

If the heat gets too high, he will at least be able to choose between three retirement presents: 1) a watch fashioned from polonium-210; 2) a box of gourmet ricin cookies; or 3) a backward-firing nail gun.  If these are deemed unacceptable, his retirement quarters will be inside a steel cornerstone time capsule at one of the new MSM skyscrapers.

I snagged this little jewel from The Guardian:

Longtime residents of New Orleans’ French Quarter say they believe Williams’ vivid claims about his Katrina reporting in the years since the devastating August 2005 storm have also been overblown. They shake their heads at Williams’ having said that he saw a body floating face-down outside his hotel. They say it is highly unlikely that Williams’ hotel was “overrun with gangs”, as the anchor has said. They say there was no dysentery, a disease Williams has said that he caught while he was in the city reporting, and that bottled water was plentiful in the area – despite Williams’ claims to the contrary.

I know that integrity means nothing to the main stream media outlets, but they could at least pretend it does and can his ass.  Take a page from Brian and pretend....

NBC has aired segments stating it's acceptable to tell lies from time to time.

During the Clinton / Paula Jones perjury issue, with my own eyes, I saw 2 networks, NBC and CNN, running segments arguing that it's perfectly normal and acceptable to tell a little lie from time to time. “Everybody does it.”

So, what's the big deal about Brian Williams now? And, in my opinion, he has a perfect defense to anything that NBC might say... as they have long ago approved of little lies from time to time!

So since I live in Asia, and I am not inside the North American media bubble, what is the hubbub all about? Did Williams exaggerate something?
