So Brian Williams is in trouble. Hmm.

You've got to admit, the man has some nice ties.

You’ve got to admit, the man has some nice ties.

I always figured Brian Williams was Peter Jennings without an education. You do know, don’t you, that the managing editor of NBC News is a high school graduate? But he always looks gooood.

Conservatives are trying not to pile on.

I’m not piling on either. He’s just par for the course. I wrote about network news eight years ago, when Katie Couric became the anchor of CBS News.

Helping Katie.

Note that I spared no one. Not even Fox News. Especially not Fox News.

They’re all in the entertainment business. They don’t report the news. They foster narratives. And flash their personal assets. What just happened to Brian Williams is no surprise. He’s just another casualty of a completely corrupt profession.

Why I write mostly about dogs and cats.

    I didn’t know he was a graduate of high school only but that actually makes me think more of him, not less — that he’s come so far in overcoming the myth of college producing an educated man. Not any longer. Talked to many college grads lately, or any holders of a master’s degree or Ph.D.? Doesn’t do much to bolster one’s optimism about the future.

    I’m old. In my day, you couldn’t escape from a liberal arts college without learning something. I know I learned a lot. So now it’s a bad thing. And a guy who lies for a living is more estimable for not having been educated for the role he plays. Got it. A phony is an educated man because of the title on his door.

      Me too, Barbara. But I can’t figure out what you’re giving up about. You just sound mad. Go ahead. Be mad. Enjoy your dudgeon. Brian Williams has always been a no-account news reader and a phony, a liberal kiss-ass, and a sanctimonious dandy. If you have a problem with my saying that, be my guest.

      I said I believe there are losses in life as big as the loss of children. An opinion. I kicked Bri Zoni out of my life. A necessity. Neither one of these requires you to become a censor.

      You’re always welcome here. I’m just befuddled by your rancor.
