More lies from NBC and the left wing media

[tantalum]

Brian WIlliams lies about being in a helicopter that was shot down. Honestly, you cannot believe anything they say! Just like the rest of the left they are out to fool the stupid public all the time. And too often the public believes them. Hats off to the military folks calling him out. They guy sound like John Kerry. Do you think he will lose his job? If he would lie about this, how many other times does he shade the truth?

NBC lies again.

The heroism of Hillary Clinton combined with......

.....the journalistic integrity of Dan Rather.

Impressive.

It only gets deeper.

Brian Williams also reported that he saw a dead body floating by his room in the French Quarter, when he was doing Katrina coverage. Unfortunately, there was no flooding in the vicinity of the hotel he was in. Ooooops!

Regarding the RPG hit on his helo, the latest version has him in a helo that was an hour behind the ones that took fire, but they were in radio contact, though. It's a bitch, when the facts ruin a good story.

Granted, he's lost his credibility, like Dan Rather, and he should be fired, but NBC has a history of adjusting/ignoring/manipulating the truth in the past, so I'm expecting a circling of the wagons.

When Al Sharpton gets his own show on MSNBC, then you have to believe that credibility is not critical for employment by the parent company.

And what media source do you trust? Fox News? They never have been caught lying and making things up!

They are the MOST credible of the options available and NBC is probably the least. The fact that FOX keeps taking more market share from the rest, should tell you something. People want to get their news from trustworthy sources, and although it may bend your ideological nose out of joint, it is perceived to be the most reliable of the sources available, by a large margin.

FYI, if FOX reports something, that is counter to your left wing beliefs, it doesn't make it a lie. If FOX reports something you haven't heard about on the mainstream media, doesn't mean they made it up. The msm has notoriously failed to report, or underreported many stories, that put the Dems in a bad light. They provide cover for their own.

If the Libs were half as smart as they think they are, they would watch both msm news AND FOX. That way you get both sides of the issues and you'll probably become aware of a lot of things, that aren't getting reported by the msm.

speaking of Fox

one of their main guys, I'll let you guess as to who has said this in the past:

"I tell you what, I've been in combat. I've seen it. I've been close to
it. And if my unit is in danger and I got a captured guy and the guy
knows where the enemy is and I'm looking him in the eye, the guy better
tell me. That's all I'm gonna tell you. If it's life or death, he's
going first."

Now, tell me if you can spot the part that isn't true. Now, that doesn't mean Williams didn't step in it. You can't be a national anchor and tell a whopper like that and expect to stick around (unless you are in, say, a no spin zone, or something).

Do you have any proof of your assertion, or should we just trust you?

Ratings now = most reliable? Really?

Some of the most reliable news outlets are the most boring.

Fox has good ratings cause of their opinion shows, not fact-based shows. And it's also what conservatives run to.

Did you miss the other week when Fox News apologized 4 different times because of blatant lies on their shows? Very reliable.

 

[GMM]

Do tell us how FNC blatantly lied.

People watching = credibility. I'll keep that in mind.

When people hear/watch the news, they prefer to get it from reliable sources. If they deem their current source unreliable, they'll search for a more reliable source.

I suppose Brian Williams getting caught in a lie won't impact NBC, and his current leave of absence has nothing to do with that credibility loss.

I'm sure CBS fired Dan Rather after getting caught in several lies, because they didn't think people cared about the credibility of the news anchor.

So, yeah, credibility = people watching.

Don't just throw shit and run. Please elaborate. What was the great lie?

There will always be a hard core of Liberals that just want their ideological fix, whether it's based on facts or not, but keep an eye on their ratings over the next year

O'Reilly did say those words, but the clip conveniently left off anything before that quote, which may have provided some context. The next caller asked O'Reilly if he had been in the military and he said. "NO". without hesitation. This makes me think that something doesn't add up here.

It's not hard to take anyone's comments and either edit them or clip the lead in, to completely change the meaning of their statement.

I've watched O'Reilly for years, and although I don't agree with everything he says, I've never seen him play fast and loose with the truth. I suppose one could go cherry picking for misstatements by almost anyone. Some are a lot easier to find than others.

"I tell you what, I've been in combat. I've seen it. I've been close to

Praytell how that's a quote that is somehow "cherry picked."

 

[qazplm]

lol

so it's "the most watched news is the most credible"

unless it's "liberal" then it's not really about who watches, because it's just all the liberals watching.

 

[beardownboiler]

You realize this is what people say about Fox, right?

It's been discussed on here.

This wasn't a "quiet" issue - even the British PM mocked Fox News for what they said it was that dumb.
