The first quote is an actual quote from a NBC teevee interview I caught a glimpse of while watching the local nooz.

The giant douche actually said, "I never intended to...(actual hesitation from actual quote where he was carefully parsing words)...('misrepresent' or some such wordplay essentially translating into 'lie')"

The second quote is my own take on the matter.

compared to most media airheads and politicians ... Williams just got caught lying.


he may actually be more honest than many of his colleagues.

Extremely doubtful. You're being way too kind. The giant douche does not deserve any sympathy. He's absolutely unrepentant despite his protestations and his fake apology.

Video at link go to 4:00 for quote from OP -

i still remember Katie Couric's interview with some government line author about the JFK assassination, 30 year anniversary.

the snarkiness with which she supported the government official conspiracy theory ... let's just say i don't think Brian Williams is any more dishonest than Couric.

which is not saying that I'm a fan of Williams.


one long term journalist that i'm less cynical about was - Helen Thomas - the older journalist who took a lot of heat for speaking out for Palestine - not sure if I got her name right.

The video is 3:49, did they switch it out?

NVM, scroll down fool!

Edit: no giant douche there either.

They did pull the video I was referencing and put up one that was much more friendly and benign.

Anytime Brian Williams opens his mouth he shows he's a giant douchebag.
