Feeling Sorry for Brian Williams



Don’t you feel a little sorry for Brian Williams?
I mean he has compromised his long career, by doing what TV does every moment: exaggerating to the point of lying. Watch even a half hour, and you will be treated outrageous claims for everything from legal drugs to floor cleaners, to foods which promise health, perfect weight and physical beauty. Hype and lies mostly.The way to achieve those things, even after you purchased the potion, food, or machine is personal self-discipline. Which is of course, FREE, and there is no easy way to it.
Yeah, Williams is supposed to be a newsman, but TV, hasn’t been “news” since the days of Walter Cronkite and Eric Sevareid or maybe even before. TV is theater, it overlooks real for the flamboyant and sentimental, which is why we never heard about the Mortgage crisis till we were smack in the middle of it.

The only way to regard TV is with critical eye, like the liar it is.
