Thought much about defining the penalty for proven liars among us? It’s easy…
Just determine if they work for mainstream media, or look for the (D) union label.
The (D) is important…just ask Richard Nixon (R): he lost his job for a 3rd-rate pre-election burglary he didn’t even know about – but got caught lying about knowledge of a cover-up.
Network newscasters are lucky by comparison. NBC’s Brian Williams, a proven liar in news reports, just got suspended 6 months (too bad he wasn’t an elected Democrat).
(‘You can keep your doctor’, ‘it was the video’ Obama (D) got re-elected, you may recall. What the hey…apparently ‘politics IS beanbag’…if you happen to be a Liberal.)
Fortunately for Williams, looks like the mainstream media statute of limitations on lying while reporting ‘news’ is only 6 months…one wonders if the public agrees.
To justify not firing Williams, the NBC powers-that-be cite the “good work” and “special relationship” Williams has accomplished for their viewers over 22 years, as if we’re all expected to believe that the Williams pattern of lies just started a few months ago?
What are the odds his deception has been an integral part of his job…from the start?
So, when NBC moguls state Brian’s work “…has been an important and well-respected part of (the NBC) organization”, it tells you how ‘high’ their standards are set…
Lie until you’re caught…wait 6 months…repeat.
In retrospect, Williams probably woke this morning wishing he was a Democrat politician in high office who has been caught repeatedly lying to hundreds of millions of Americans…
…’cuz then he could get back to work immediately.
Sorry, Brian, but Life just isn’t fair sometimes.
Cheer up, though…maybe in your next life you’ll come back as a politician.
Just pray that you’ll be a (D)…because an (R) can be a real career handicap.
