Pinocchio

Brian Williams has either, fabricated a story, became delusional, told a tall tale or out and out lied. What separates Brian Williams from people like Sean Hannity, Bill O’Reily, or Geraldo Rivera, are two separate words, FOX News.  Most of the entertainers employed by FOX News, fabricate, are delusional, tell the tallest tales or lie, yet there is no major uproar from the cadre of American viewers as these right wing fascists spew disinformation purposely and intentionally. We are now disparaging Brian Williams as if he alone has infected the legitimacy of journalism and placed an end to the world of the free press. We are appalled, full of apoplexy, insulted and infuriated because a man of the news has made up some of the news he communicates. Yet day in and day out propaganda is poured on the American public fanning the dumb to heights of flaming stupidity by almost everyone on FOX News and no murmur of madness or threats of murder emulate and multiply. You have to wonder why?

Truth it seems has fallen from the mouths of most politicians now a days replaced by the ventriloquists sentences of the puppeteers who own them. No reward in facts when fiction can buy you an elected office thanks in part to the very activist Supreme Court jokers. Honesty was replaced in the American pop psyche when enough fools actually believed that reality television was real, and that Joe the Plumber was intelligent. We voted for Sarah Palin, believing that seeing Russia from her front porch was enough knowledge of foreign affairs, and listened intently as George Bush claimed victory in Iraq. We voted for he and the real president Dick Cheney twice.

Brian Williams is not an honest broker, he like Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton (who sort of thought they lived a life without Iran Contra or Monica Lewinsky), remember a life lived minus some very important details. Brian Williams is being booed and hissed for claiming he was as brave as many Vets who actually did risk life and limb. The guys and gals on FOX News place the life and limbs of the poor, people of color, women, homosexuals, Muslims on the line every day as they embellish, deny and lie about the truth. Brian Williams rightfully so has removed himself from the public airways, so others may decipher the truth…Hannity, O’Reily, Rivera, Kelly, Smith, Van Susteren et al, are still plowing away on the air lying their asses off. One of these things is not like the other, and you have to wonder why!
