The media isn't run by stupid people. They know Brian Williams is a good looking man that they spent decades developing who can reach the low information citizens regardless of whatever lies he made up in the past. Most importantly, the media executives know he can be trusted, in fact Brian Williams only mistake was getting sloppy. So they sidelined him for a short time period and now he's back.
Gentiles generally can't imagine someone who looks like a handsome version of themselves and talks confidently systematically lying to them. The best blueprint we have is to follow the Rules for Radicals and constantly mock the news and destroy the public's trust in them. Not many people want to do the research into knowing what's true or not true, so they default to whatever position has the least negative connotations. Make it a mockable offense to believe the mainstream media and there is a huge disincentive to listen to the Brian Williams of the world.
Their entire concept of the internet may very well start and stop at twitter. That's the source of all their copypasta news if it isn't coming from the democrat party.
It's a distraction. If people actually paid attention to the fact that Trump is still employed as a producer at NBC and his cabinet picks are huge giveaways to corporations and the military industrial complex, America may shit a brick.
Only idiots would shit a brick. Corporations and war industry have been the backbone of the american economy for almost 100 years. It would take a lot more than Trump to change that.
Something makes me think that Williams pissed somebody off and so they harpooned him. Do you really believe that Lester Holt, his replacement, is a virtuous person that won't do what the masters say as far as fake news goes.
I think it's a mentality that"famous people" tend to have. Especially people who have been raked through the coals more than once in their careers, they know that when they Fuck up, they vanish for awhile. And then when the spotlight is off you, you make a reappearance and just pretend like the past never happend. I think it's because they become soulless.
hey buddy. you just replied to what may very well have been a bot post.
ask it a paradox or try a bot test i haven't tried if you want to make damn sure (false choice, speak putting some words in parentheses to make it unable to read simple questions, and a couple others)
In all fairness, everyone who ever really fucks up tries to do that. As long as you don't get sent off to prison you can move, start over with new people and pretend you didn't screw up before.
It's much harder to do now with the internet never forgetting anything, but in the past it was very easy. I have several friends who's names come up with internet searches and they always have to put it in context when they interview for jobs, meet women etc.
Bottom line, think before you do something stupid.

If his goal was intelligence I don't think we would be having this discussion at all.

Apparently he is pretty clueless.

He was aiming for the liberal audience, knowing full well their 5 second attention span would never catch it.

He just reads the lines, like any other actor.
GumbyTM ago
Of course he did.
He deliberately allowed himself to become the worlds easiest target, knowing that this would get (whatever shit network he's on) ratings.
The used him as an organ grinder monkey because that's all he's good for.
He was ratings bait.

Liberals figure they'll just stone wall and ignore bei caught lying and pretend all is good. Hillary had a lot more to answer for, but blew it off.

So, everyone who watches cable news?
CapinBoredface ago
nope. I watch cable news, CNN and FOX, MSNBC... You have to be willing to slog through all the shit if you want to effectively dismiss it.

He does what the masters tell him to do.
I remain unconvinced that mindless drones like him have the ability to process complex thoughts on their own.

So what's the whole story around him getting fired? Or know there was mention of him making stuff up.
