Yes, there is a report out
that Brian Williams will not be punished for his serial lies on his helicopter
ride in Iraq. But I do not believe
it. With even Tom Brokaw appalled
and wanting Williams’ “head on a platter,” it is difficult for me to see how
Williams can keep his job. And
surely NBC values its undeserved credibility more than that.
But one conservative
devoutly hopes he does indeed keep his job, and it is hard for me to disagree.
If the network continues to keep a serial fabricator
on board, it will convince many of those who still buy what the press is
selling that something is fundamentally wrong. That would be a fantastic
development, because something is fundamentally wrong. The self-described
watchdogs have instead become the left’s gatekeepers. The sooner everyone
appreciates that, the better it will be for all.
Perhaps the 15-point
head start Evan Thomas once boasted that press bias often gives
Democratic Party political candidates in contested elections might begin to
disappear. Legislative proposals might once again be discussed on their merits
instead of being pre-judged favorably or unfavorably based on who is presenting
them. The whole truth about the nation’s dire financial and economic
circumstances, its outrageous cronyism and corruption, and the two-party, one-mindset
elitists who run it, might finally penetrate the minds of everyday, non-news
junky Americans.
We can always dream. Keep that dream alive, NBC.
Keep Brian Williams right where he is.
