so now news isn't entertainment?


Brian Williams

 

For a long time now, what has been called news has  really been entertainment. Stories have been sensationalized time and time again. "Breaking news" more often than not is a half baked attempt to grab ratings. Even the weather report is suspect. Weather reports are misleading and inaccurate . Character assassination is  standard; people are tried in the media and  are actually deemed guilty before even one fact is in. So given this backdrop will someone please explain to me why Brian William's recollection of events demands this crazy response. He experienced what he experienced, he remembered what he remembered and he said what he said.  Whether he consciously or unconsciously embellished matters little. All news has become entertainment! Brian Williams is yet the latest victim of a public lynching. Give it a break!
