Imagine lying to the entire planet and starting an illegal war and occupation

[malaise]

killing a million Iraqis and scattering millions more all over as they run from death......and Brian Williams is suspended for six months without pay.
Bet he's sorry he lied for them.

This is all farce.

[Fumesucker]

1. Someone posted a wonderful Michael Moore rant about that a few days ago..

3. Great rant indeed

Thanks

2. REC. nt

4. This atrocity is also owned by all who voted us into the "war".

Who voted against it?
Brian Williams pales in comparison to those who gave the final thumbs up.

[malaise]

5. Indeed

Still the vast majority of networks and cable news lied about the war and had plants and embedded hacks.

As I wrote elsewhere I am no fan of Brian Williams but this stinks

[misterhighwasted]

6. Absolutely. And a farce it is.

The lying cowards dare now vilify Mr Williams.
Its on all of them, as you say.

20. He must have pissed off someone very powerful. Because there is no way our Corporate Media

has suddenly become concerned about lying.

They FIRED and/or destroyed the careers of those who TOLD THE TRUTH, see Ashley Banfield and Dan Rather eg.

So I wonder who it was?

[malaise]

21. Precisely

[benz380]

26. So is it better not to vote? Seems like we are always in a conflict no matter who's in. n/t

[misterhighwasted]

27. They should have voted NO. They had a choice & a duty to listen to the hundreds of thousands

..who marched, globally, against the "war". The media barely told that story.
They should have listened to those who loudly stated that there was no proof of Iraqi involvement nor wmd's before committing to the liars at the top.
They could have voted NO.

7. This is CT!!!

Has to be. Only a few believe it and no one has gone to jail or anything so it has to be a CT. Should be locked. Repost in the CT forum, please.

12. OUCH!

Seen in LARadio.com :

“Is Brian Williams going to be the only person who gets fired for lying to us about Iraq?”

[SoapBox]

15. Ohhhhhh...that is so good.

Remember that "trailer" they found and all the breathless drama that followed...PROOF of the biological weapons.

Uh, ya, right...

[Omaha Steve]

16. Great toon

[zeemike]

18. That one is a keeper n/t

[malaise]

22. A really great toon

Saw it earlier

[zeemike]

13. Yep it is all farce.

But don't cry for Brian Williams, he will do well if he plays his part right.
There are lots of Boards out there looking for members.

[hibbing]

14. with you

Totally agree, the corporate media will admit to no culpability in this immoral and unjustified war, but will all chime in on what an outrage the Brian Williams thing is. It is downright scary to go back and look at the videos, the lack of serious questioning. Letting the Bush criminals go on every show and spout their lies with no challenges, Condi, the Dick, and the whole damn lying crooks.

Peace

17. The statement NBC put out was pathetic.

They act as though no one trusts them because of Brian Williams. No one trusts them because they are liars who go on the air each day and fail to inform the country that democracy is over.

[malaise]

23. It's getting closer to all of M$Greedia

Brian Williams is their scapegoat. They all lied and they all continue to lie.
I'm guessing they're all scared since that German editor wrote that he carried more than a few stories for the CIA.

[onecaliberal]

24. Without question. I wish more would come forward

And tell the truth.

[spanone]

19. k&r.....

[rhett o rick]

25. Brian must have pissed off the Oligarchs. nm

[progressoid]

28. Indeed.
