I can't defend Brian Williams' lies but let's get real. Lies are a staple of NBC news. Are Williams' lies any worse than David Gregory badgering Michelle Bachmann and John Boehner over Obama's birth certificate knowing full well that neither of them had ever mentioned Obama's place of birth and knowing that the ridiculous "Born in Kenya" meme was started by Barack Obama himself in a biography provided to his literary agency, Dystel and Goderich. We can't chart all of the lies at NBC. That would be a Herculean task on scale with tallying all of the White House lies.
Almost as disturbing as Williams lying is his ignorance of modern history. Eisenhower never ran against Kennedy and anyone who works in the press should know that. This is malpractice as absurd as a doctor not knowing how many kidneys a patient should have. From this very blog June 9, 2009.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Let's be fair. It is possible that Williams misspoke. That he knew that Kennedy never ran against Eisenhower but that Nixon (Eisenehower's vice president) was an extension of the Eisenhower Administration. Maybe he accidentally misstated the facts. But he did not clarify as well as he should have.
Williams then repeats the analogy. And in the context, it appears that he does believe Eisenhower ran against Kennedy because McCain the war hero is sort of the political Eisenhower of his era. He is certainly comparing Eisenhower and McCain.
Is Williams a moron? If the standard is beyond reasonable doubt, he has a chance at acquittal. If the standard is a preponderance of evidence, the viewers and the voters will be rewarded damages.
Oh, and you might notice that Mensa member Dave does not correct his intellectual twin on his absurdities.
PALIN HAS NEVER UTTERED ANYTHING HALF THIS STUPID
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To paraphrase Hillary Clinton, at this stage of the game, what difference does it make?

You Can't Make This Up: NBC Rolls Out Obama Sycophant David Remnick As Olympic Analyst
It was theater of the absurd. First I would like to remind fan and broadcaster alike that sporting events offer escape and escape is their primary purpose. If you degrade the experience of escaping our daily reality, you shatter the dream. The profundity and necessity of escape is underrated by some fools. I am not one of them.
We used to be able listen to sportscasters over decades and never know a tidbit about their political philosophy. I could not tell you anything about Harry Caray's politics or Jim McKay's or Chris Jackson's. If they had expressed any political viewpoint they would have been ushered into some other line of work.
ESPN did the right thing when they canned Rush Limbaugh for his effort to politicize football. Good for them. I am sad to say that years later the same network rehired Toxic Keith Olbermann after he got canned from MSNBC for bad ratings and then Current TV for bad ratings and a bad personality. Give the people what they want, ESPN.
I don't like PSA's during sporting events, no matter how high-minded or well-meaning. Take it elsewhere. Cheesy anti-drug messages lodged between light beer commercials probably are not taken too seriously anyway. And reminding us about dead ravers might put a damper on our fun but it won't bring the ravers back from their graves.
NBC in general and Bob Costas in particular started testing the waters during the 2012 NFL season. It started out as halftime anti-gun commentary and concluded with the president cutting into the Sunday night broadcast following the Sandy Hook massacre. Yes, the president should address a traumatized community but where do the healing words stop and his own lust for control begin? Never let a crisis go to waste.
Unfortunately, NBC has the rights to Olympic coverage. The Opening Ceremony was preceded by the introduction of David Remnick, a long, highly-politicized blah blah blah focusing on gay politics and then an interview with the president. The interview centered on what else? Russian gay politics, gay Russian politics, international gay politics and the personality of Vladimir Putin.
If one wanted to politicize Russia and Russian politics, there are a million topics to cover: Georgia, Ukraine, Libya, Syria. Iran. Chechnya and worldwide terror networks. Under Putin's leadership and our leading from behind, Russia might have established herself as the one indispensable country. NBC will focus their attention on Russia's attitude towards homosexuality. Understand, many of us view any Olympic politicking as an abomination. But if one wants to view the Winter Games through the lens of politics and policy, there are a million issues that concern more Americans than Russia's uptight "don't ask, don't tell, shut up and skate" attitude.
Of course with David Remnick on board we will learn of our fundraiser-in-chief's diligently working the streets of Sochi from the White House. “At the back end of his career, I see him as an international and national community organizer.” Sochi is the graceful opening of that profound transition. Let the games begin.

Chris Matthews: Obama Is The Perfect Man
I gave up monitoring NBC/MSNBC a long time ago but every now and then they will outdo themselves and we have to remind ourselves just how real and how intense and how sincere the deification happens to be.

NBC Post About Obamacare Develops Glitches.
Holy 404 Error, Batman!
This is old news now but well worth reviewing. NBC shook the world by reporting a story that questioned the president's credibility. NBC? The poster child for both the military industrial complex and the media industrial complex? Is this a sea change? Would they be throwing Barry overboard to distance his corrupt ways from Hillary? Hmmm.
It was too good to be true. Yes, NBC admitted that Obama lied but they then deleted the post. The deletion became a bigger news item and they brought back an edited version of the original story. Then it seemed to disappear again.

Why I am Generally Dismissive of Conspiracy Theories
I believe that human folly explains so much more than the machinations of all-powerful, omniscient, omnipotent cabals. With all the Clyde Lewis-style mind control conspiracies that will be unleashed in the coming weeks, one should take a step back and examine the true nature of the news media. Sometimes, candor carries the day.

An Open Letter To The Republican National Commitee
An Open Letter To The Republican National Commitee
Take this with a grain of salt. I am not a registered Republican and I don't plan to be one anytime soon. But given the state of affairs in this country, I recognize that your party can lay claim to the "lesser of two evils." With all of your sins, you are downright saintly compared to your corrupt, destructive, Anti-American rivals.
I have four general suggestions that are so obvious that I don't think anyone would disagree with them.
1. Establish a fighter as Chairman of The Republican National Commitee.
2. Establish a fighter as Speaker of the House.
3. Don't just acknowledge voter fraud, fight it.
4. Permanently change your relationship with the national media.
I am going out of order as I am wont to do (I told you I am not a Republican.) Fight voter fraud! If James O'Keefe can find repeated efforts at voter fraud on his ramen noodle budget, why can't an organization with a $50 million operating budget find an act of impropriety when it is right under your nose?
If you stated that henceforth 10% or 20% of your budget would be devoted to fighting voter fraud, your donations would increase sufficiently to offset this new expenditure. Try holding just one anti-fraud money bomb. Ron Paul generated over $10 million in 24 hours in 2007 during the first-ever money bomb. Try it! You might be pleasantly surprised at the outcome.
Your party still controls the House. Why is there not a permanent committee on voter integrity? Cleveland, Ohio had precincts that voted one hundred per cent for Obama. In the real world such things do not happen if for no other reason, people inadvertently fill in the wrong name or scribble in the wrong circle. No human error in Cleveland.
What is frustrating about Cleveland is that Ohio has a Republican governor. He did have the resources at his disposal to prevent voter fraud. Did he deploy the State Police or the Attorney General to disrupt these crimes?
Did Port Saint Lucie County, Florida really have a 141% voter turnout? If yes, the FBI should be descending into the Sunshine State in droves. Maybe that number is wrong. But if the number is only 101%, there needs to be a criminal investigation. If the White House has the DOJ handcuffed, there is still Congress and yes, there is still the State of Florida.
Again, Florida is frustrating because Republicans control the Governor's Office and the Republican AG is all over the national news shows. They were in a position to prevent this from happening. They are now in a position to make sure it never happens again. Voter fraud must be stopped, priority numbers one through one hundred.
Jumping back to the first suggestion. You need a fighter as Chairman of RNC. I don't think Priebus is that guy. If his chairmanship is challenged, maybe it will light a fire under his ass, even if he is not successfully deposed.
What is needed is someone like Newt Gingrich. I say someone like Gingrich because Newt is a loose cannon and he would turn off some donors. But Newt does know how to win elections. He is never afraid to speak the truth and he will call voter fraud, voter fraud. Newt will not be intimidated by a false charge of racism or misogyny. You need his pugnacious spirit if not his physical presence. Newt? Palin? You need a heavyweight in this position.
Now let us focus on The Speaker of The House. We will know real soon if Boehner is the right choice. I think he might be if only because it does not serve his own future to cave on the "fiscal cliff" or Benghazi or Fast and Furious. Oh and if we are making a Christmas list we could add voter fraud investigations, illegal campaign financing investigations, and defunding NPR, PBS and anything related to General Electric to our already long string of requests.
We will know soon if Boehner is our guy. If not, a new candidate should challenge the incumbent.
Lastly, change forever your relationship with the press. Do not talk to the national press. Let it be known that you will not fund any candidate who talks to the national media. If they want to talk to the media from their home district, they should do so at their own discretion.
As long as your candidates talk with the national press, they are putting their seal of legitimacy on the pro-Obama media. Why, oh why, oh why would you allow your candidates to subject themselves to Gregory or Stephanopolos and to pummel them with "do you still wage war on women?" kinds of questions. Furthermore, do not allow the national media to moderate your primary debates! Duhhh.
There was a time when it was essential to converse with the national media. That day has passed. Twitter and Facebook changed the rules forever. You and your candidates and your office holders can communicate with an audience unimpeded by charges of racism, misogyny, fraud or murder. You cannot win with the pro-Obama media. They must be shunned!
Shunning is the first step. With the rise of cable and satellite and Internet delivery, local network affiliates struggle. However, they have benefited nicely from election commercials. The affiliates are now dependent on this revenue stream. Let it be known that the GOP will not spend a penny with NBC affiliates in either 2014 or 2016.
The GOP candidates will not suffer by boycotting NBC affiliates. The GOP will continue to buy air time from ABC and CBS and Fox affiliates as well as independent channels and cable outlets. But NBC is 86. Of course, everything NBC (The Weather Channel, Telemundo, NBC Entertainment, NBC News) will also be cut off. And as previously suggested, if Congress defunded General Electric's lucrative government contracts, I bet we would see a greater respect for truth at every NBC venue.
There you have it. I am no genius but I can point out the obvious, something your brain trust has failed to do. Then again, I am not a Republican.

3:50 sums up the entire obama campaign and actually his very essence. The juxtaposition of two ideas. 1. It's all about his race. 2. Race doesn't matter.

Sellebrity Saturday: How to Kick Start a Stalled Career.
The more Palin is ridiculed by the media elite, the more she needs to be considered as a presidential candidate. Suitability for the highest office in the land is inversely proportionate to media affection. The Pampered One still gets his tender areas kissed while Uncle Sam drowns in red ink and awaits his leaden life preserver. How bad could the media's favorite enemy possibly be?
WHY IS CITIZEN PALIN SO THREATENING TO THE MEDIA ELITE?
