About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

""I looked down into the very tube of the RPG launcher." and the image is "seared... seared! into my memory"
Brian Wiliams claims to have boarded the Titamic,Brian Williams interviews Jimmy Hoffa
I'd start with his resume...and then look for plagiarism in his college essays.
Williams is toast. If not then NBC is toast, just like MSNBC.
The only way to solve the problem is for NBC News to replace him with Chelsey Clinton.
It is not Williams on trial here, it is the media he works for.
Williams was always an obvious preening narcissistic drama queen, a make-up plastered Ted Knight-esqe, yarn-spinnung talking head - just what kind of information media would hire such an accomplished actor-story teller? - Unless their product is a concocted theatrical narrative instead of hard fact and objective reality.
Williams is the perfect poster boy for the mendacious Hollywood media cabal that controls corporate network news reporting - shades of Howard Beal
The proud Peacock is dead, butt side up. The female lineage of NBC News executives are from the Entertainment side (The ABC View Show) which is not known for trust or integrity. What did the Network expect?
Madcow & Sharpton will Co-Anchor the dead Peacock News.
Super Willy can fly over short buildings, out run RPG rockets, fly two helicopters at the same time all while spreading 3 tons of manure over his journalism school grounds! An Obama super hero in the flesh.
Aw shucks, give him a break, he just had a momentary flashback to his childhood imagination and got carried away believing it really happened.
What a freaking joke he is and who can take a joke seriously?
Do we have, or have we had anyone on our networks to compare?
After listening to the nonsense from a ctv talking head…”but he’s really, really sorry for what he did”, I was browsing content at PJ Media and then I read this…
And then this…
The difference between Williams/Rather and the rest of their ilk is that those two got caught lying. And now the similarity between Williams and Rather seems to be that they manufactured the props for their “reporting”.
We all know guys like Williams. The guy who has incredible stories that are all bs all the time. What surprises me is the people that believe them and the audacity they have. You call them on their bs and they just shrug it off and tell another one.
A good story teller never lets the facts get in the way of a good tale! We all know these guys and enjoy watching the girls soak it all up.
It's really difficult to listen to the interviewer's voice. Emily.
Mr. Williams still believes there were not any weapons of mass destruction, perhaps they're the lima beans on his journalistic plate here. He's never seen those photos of abandoned buses in the New Orleans area during the Katrina event. Good thing that FEMA didn't own buses.
ect...
But Marc....she likely isn't as big a liar as Williams.
@Jamie....he didn't graduate college. Probably because he's a liar and a fraud.
He even mentions that he was in New Orleans "before the first responders". Really? So no emergency workers were in New Orleans when Katrina hit. Wow! Yet another bold-faced lie!
"Williams is the perfect poster boy for the mendacious Hollywood media cabal that controls corporate network news reporting" Occam
During the hay-days of NBC News (Foreign News Bureaus in most Countries) the Network had only one Chairman & the business units were run by VP's. It was only in the 90's that the Sports group gave the Chairman title to the 800lb gorilla Dick Ebersol (He was a long time sports legend @ABC & NBC).
If you google NBC executive group they now have many Chairmen & Presidents. The female gender can't seem to run a division if they are only a VP.. The cluster group hug is shared by many.
So keeping the press in Presstitute?
Yeah right! We believe you Brian - thousands wouldn't! - but we believe you.
Williams is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to media distortion and lies
@Occam: Howard Beal! Thanks for reminding me.
Here is a NBC News story, reproduced under the Fair Dealing provision of the Copyright Act, that reports Williams is taking a leave of absence.
Brian Williams to Take a Break From Nightly News for 'Next Several Days'
NBC Nightly News anchor and managing editor Brian Williams on Saturday said that he will take a break from anchoring the broadcast for "the next several days." His announcement comes after he clarified this week that he incorrectly remembered details in a 2003 reporting mission to Iraq.
"Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us," Williams said in a note to NBC News staff.
In a piece that aired on Nightly News last week, Williams told the story of how a military helicopter he was traveling in during an assignment in Iraq took on enemy fire. But on Wednesday, Williams told viewers he had made a mistake in recalling the incident. He and his team were actually in an aircraft that was following the helicopter that was hit, he said.
NBC News president Deborah Turness announced Friday that there will be an internal review of the reporting that followed the events in Iraq. Williams said Saturday that it is "painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news." Weekend Nightly News anchor Lester Holt will fill in for him during his absence.
I don't no which is worse, but I recall Sam Donaldson of ABC, in an interview with Lady Thatcher, asking her what she thought of the Kerrigan/Harding spat. She looked at him, obviously trying to figure out what he was going on about - and then a look of recognition came over her face and she told him that she didn't think his listeners would be interested on her views on this silliness.
" he incorrectly remembered details "
I empathize with him.
I don't remember exactly what I had for dinner last Tuesday. I do remember the dinner, but not the details. Did I have 5 perogies or was it 6 ???
Did our table get knocked over by a drunk or was it the one in the next room ?
Who can remember all the little stuff?
Did we pass a flattened squirrel on the way home, or was it a bloated child in the gutter holding a sign saying "Bush fled.I'm dead" ?
Details, they can be as disturbing as facts to a good narrative.
They ain't called the LSM for nothing.
Lame Stream Media
Lying SM.
Leftists SM.
Lieberal SM.
Actors lie all the time, some get paid very well to "pretend" to be something they're not... just like Jr Trubozo, he's an actor of sorts, not a very good one, in fact he's a terrible actor but he is an actor. Oshitstain is an actor too, a teleprompter reading Saudi bowing actor. Williams is as full of shit as any other leftist actor and likely just as stupid. I would be interested in knowing the real reason behind exposing Williams as a leftist bullshitter, who in the "progressive" media cartel did Williams piss off or embarrass? I mean leftist progressive types always lie, it's part of their schtict, Tacquia (lying to the infidel) is not exclusive to Islamic Jihadists so why is a lying sack of excrement like Williams all of sudden being held accountable? Seems a little weird to me, justified, but weird.
The Facebook mimes of Brian Williams landing on the moon, at the Malta Conference, are priceless.
David Burge on Twitter, "There comes a time when the mockery of a public figure becomes a gratuitous pile-on and needs to stop. This is not that time. #BrianWilliams"
He might have just confused is imaginary friend with himself ... happens all the time ... I was in the first chopper.
"I would be interested in knowing the real reason behind exposing Williams as a leftist bullshitter,......"
Rumour has it that Katie Corey wants his job.....there can only be one.....

He was in the MTB ahead of Sean Penn's...towing Penn's as a matter of fact...taking the tsunami bows on...while loaded to the gunwales with women and children...
This reminds me of the time in Canada, years ago, when CBC news anchor Knowlton Nash was forced to resign after claiming to have ridden a bull at the Calgary Stampede rodeo. (The actual bull-rider was Peter Mansbridge, who took Nash’s place after he was ousted.)
Jbtubman - Surely this is bull? I cannot imagine Knowlton Nash on a bull anymore than I could see Peter Mansbridge on one.
Debra Turness president of NBC news, was with ITV in England and has connections to the Obama Group
2011: In May 2011 she was the only journalist invited to the Buckingham Palace State Banquet for Barack Obama.
Wow ITV you say and then President of NBC news. That makes her the Executive Producer of the NBC Network News...What to do? What to do...How close is Brian to the WH...
I suspect the NBC Network (affiliates) will not have nice words
for the NY News Executives. Would not be surprised if they fire
the whole bunch. They have the power
"I looked down into the very tube of the RPG launcher..." in which case he had nothing to fear since there was no live round in it. An RPG launcher has the warhead projecting far out the front of it similar to the Panzerfaust on which it is based.
Besides, if there had been a live round fired, he would have caught it in his teeth and saved everyone around him without fear of explosion since the warhead doesn't arm immediately.
Indeed DrD you beat me to it. If one was staring down the tube of an RPG7 you would be wondering what the assailant was going to do, having fired, dropped, forgotten, or misplaced the rather prominent warhead.
Ted Baxter lives!
Either Emily Steel (writing for the NYTimes) or Mark Feldstein (to whom the following quotation is attributed) should have a pretty red face: "NBC’s credibility is damaged by this because their principal news figurehead, which is really what an anchorman is, had some clear credibility questions distinguishing the truth from the reality.” Apart from it being nonsense from a syntactic point of view, "truth" is presented in opposition to "reality"--an odd pairing. Presumably the word "fantasy" should have appeared in one of those positions.
My dad said a liar needs a damn good headpiece....to remember the truth and all the subsequent lies......and a knowledge database so he would notclaim to see bodies floating in an unflooded area.
An RPG7 tail 40mm (a little over an inch in diameter) size of the launcher tube...
The donkeys are rallying behind Williams in hope nobody remembers the Hildebeast's BS about Bosnia....
*Yalta Conference ...
