Questions? Thoughts? Do you agree with the punishment? Does this change your perception of Brian Williams or news anchors as a whole?

.frenchyI'm not saying Fox and CNN aren't biased? I didn't say anything about that haha. I enjoy watching Fox to see what's going on aroudn the world especially the Middle East, And there is some hilarious stuff on there late at night. Watters World LOL


zzzskizzzObamacare is actually brought the prices of health insurance down, the opposite of what Fox News claimed and still claiming today it does. death panels were never going to be implemented and only fox news claim that they were a thing. Once again very misinformed news program.

also glad you could watch one new segment and feel superior to kids to kids to claim to be a liberal and go to colombia. O no wait your miss informed about that too here's what happens when you actually interview people from that place.

zzzskizzzwhat do you mean what did they say I just said their viewers are the most miss informed of any media outlets. Do you want me to tell you every specific example? They went on a crusade claiming that Obamacare (guess what its not) was going to be terrible, they think trickle down economics works when it's been proven that it doesn't, and they were talking about death panels for like 6 months.


Obamacare does suck. It's clear that you either do not pay your own health insurance, or you receive medicaid.

2 reasons a it puts conservatives panties in a twist, because the opposite of what they said happened. And let's not forget AT-AT lied about his grandmother owning a multi million dollar company and had to fire most of our staff because of Obamacare which was a lie.

My dad works for a relatively smallish company and a decent number of people were fired because of Obamacare. There definitely are cases where that did happen.

def and plenty of cases when people got cut to below 30 hours to not make the threshold of companies being forced to supply it for you. And plenty of stories of people getting reassigned jobs so they have two part time jobs that add up to full time, but technically the employers do need to cover them.

Happened to my wife. No one at her company can work more than 29 hours a week.

Brian Williams is an idiot though, I have no problem with the suspension and wouldn't care if he got fired.

this happens and millions of people still watch network news. What is it going to take to realize they're just abiding by the government's agendaand they're mostly full of shit?

I think Bill says something in there about CNN and that they're covering world news more appropriately but even that's a stretch:

louie.miragsBecause the dude would come on almost everyday and he is expected to be reporting about what is going on in the world. If he lied about that it's puts in question anything he has ever said. That is the most watched evening news program. And as the generation who isn't as brainwashed (tons of people still are) we understand mainstream media is all a bunch of bullshit and they are just feeding the presidents agenda. The older generation doesn't accept that. Maybe this will clue then into everything they were ever taught is false. Doubt it though


fair enough. very valid argument haha.
