I'm gonna admit something somewhat embarrassing...
Many years ago Brian Williams got his opportunity to try out for network media here in the Philly market, when he worked for WCAU which catapulted him to WCBS in New York, apparently.
I say “apparently” because most people here, including yours truly, couldn’t stand him when he was here. He was described as “priggish” by many and “stilted” and “phony”. Believe it or not, this town generally loved and loves its serious news people: Vince Leonard, John Facenda(who invented the 11:00 news program), Gunnar Back, and many others. We may be a shot and a beer town but we always knew who the competent newscasters were.
I thus avoided watching him for years until his most recent gig at MSNBC, wherein, as many others here have attested, I grew to enjoy, and more importantly for me, admire the man. I shall miss him enormously and wish him well in whatever his endeavors may be in the future. I want to apologize to him personally for underestimating his intellect and competence. It’s a mistake I hope never to make again.

Wow, what the hell is wrong with you? Who gives a shit.

Brian Williams retired last night from MesSNBC. Like LIEden, Williams has a penchant for making up BS stories to make himself look good ... and apparently his peculiar charm worked among Progs.

Damn, I thought this idiot would finally fess up that they weren't actually a dentist but rather the janitor at his/her/its office building in Philly.

Well, that was embarrassing alright, just not the way he intended.

Brian Williams....was he the lying scumbag who claimed to see a dead body float past him in NOLA or am I thinking of some other lying media scumbag?
Ehh, it doesn't matter. Lying media scumbags are about as useful as tits on a boar hog.

As slobberingly cringing as PCI's hero-worship was, what was truly embarrassing was PCI's acceptance that Brian Williams is an honest journalist :mental: :mental: :mental: .
