Even Journalists Blame Others For Their Own Actions

There’s some journalist talking head on CNN who is claiming CBS has some culpability for Brian Williams’ story telling because they knew some of his information was wrong.

First, no one has accused him of false reporting from the field nor from the studio. Second, it appears all of his embellishments occurred on either talk shows or private functions.

Now, let’s review. Considering there are some Crossfit Champions that can’t keep up with Seal Team 6, does
anyone believe some Desk Jockey flew into combat with them?

Considering the technology on the helicopter that crashed during the Bin Laden raid was classified and the team went out their way to blow it up and burn it does anyone really believe one of these patriots mailed Brian Williams a small piece of this classified metal??

So, shame on everyone who didn’t call Brian on his bullshit when he told those stories.

In Search of Gladstone

Wall Street Journal editorial today on page A11 is a keeper. My only complaint, pensions are NOT entitlements. They are earned, working long and hard hours, sometimes doing very dangerous jobs at all hours, on weekends and holidays, missing family events, for moderate pay. This was a “deal”. You’ll get a pension, but you’ll have to bust your ass.

That’s not an entitlement. That’s money hard earned.
