So NBC has announced the suspension without pay of Anchor Brian Williams.
I find it amazing that these news organizations only react to the pressure of the public instead of doing the right thing because it is the right thing.
You have countless news organizations out there who on a regular basis report bad information and/or just make things up. Very rarely is there any consequences to those acts until there is a major uproar from the public. Heck, Brian Williams has been telling this story for a decade and it takes a backlash from Stars and Stripes and the Public to finally intervene before NBC did anything about it. Sadly even NBC reportedly had told Williams to quit telling the story prior to this, so they must have already known something.
What happened to the days of these organizations just reporting on the news and letting us form our own opinions? Now it seems to be all about selling their philosophy on us and spinning the news to make their points. It no longer really is about the news.
Now you have networks who devote their entire newscasts to selling one political party over another. You have networks who won't report news that makes their chosen party look bad or the other party look good. It isn't about the raw news anymore.
