Amusing: Brian Williams attracts the attention of the awesome Taiwanese Animators


NBC Nightly News ratings drop 36% after Brian Williams outed as a blowhard...

Change...

Via TV Newser:
Preliminary Nielsen ratings show “NBC Nightly News” dropped -36% on Friday from last week’s Monday-Thursday average among A25-54 viewers. NBC’s competitors were down too, but not as much: ABC was down -16% while CBS was down -17% on Friday.
The fast affiliate data also shows “Nightly,” which Williams anchored despite being in the news, was beaten Friday in both total viewers and the A25-54 demo by “ABC World News Tonight with David Muir.” Williams’s first apology came during Wednesday’s “Nightly News.” By Friday evening the story was on full boil. These numbers will adjust some when final ratings are released tomorrow.
Also today, Playbook reports NBCUniversal CEO Steve Burke held a meeting at his house yesterday “to discuss the next steps in the Brian Williams crisis.”

NBC's Brian Williams admits to making stuff up...

Sadly, we have come to expect this from the mainstream media.

Via WaPo:
NBC News anchor Brian Williams conceded on Wednesday that a story he had told about being under fire while covering the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was false.
Williams said he was not aboard a helicopter that was hit by enemy fire and forced down — a story he retold as recently as last week during a televised tribute to a retired soldier during a New York Rangers hockey game.
On “NBC Nightly News” Wednesday evening, Williams read a 50-second statement apologizing for his characterization of the episode.
“After a groundfire incident in the desert during the Iraq war invasion, I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago,” he said. “It did not take long to hear from some brave men and women in the air crews who were also in that desert. I want to apologize. I said I was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by [rocket-propelled grenade] fire. I was instead in a following aircraft. . . .

NBC News Brian Williams Wonders: “Are We Better Morally” Than Our Jihadist Enemies?…



The answer to that is clearly yes. Pouring some water up a terrorist's nose or giving him a slap is clearly morally superior to crucifying children, beheading aid workers and stoning adulterers. Asking whether we are morally superior is irrelevant in my opinion. When you are at war with someone who has sworn to kill or destroy you, it's not about being "morally superior." At the end of the day, we can win and be alive and continue our way of life or we can be dead and our children will be living under an Islamic Caliphate. The question is, "Are we willing to do what it takes to win?" After we have won the war, there will be time to criticize what we could have done better. If we lose, being "morally superior" will be small consultation to the dead or our daughters living their lives as sex slaves.
