发帖数: 29846 | 1 Deacon Greg, himself a former writer for major network (CBS), is counting
the ways:
1. There’s the deflection in the first sentence. Williams seems to be
saying: “I was only trying to BrianWilliamsdo something good, but something
bad happened instead.” He returns to the theme of saluting veterans and
honoring their service later. But really: he is on the record as recounting
this same story multiple times over the last decade.This isn’t the first
instance. To pretend that is, and that he was only trying to help other
people, is galling.
2. Fully half of the statement is not about what he did wrong, but what
others did right – again, deflection as if to say, “Let’s talk about
something else here.” He goes on about the brave men and women who served.
He offers a bid for some sympathy by alluding to the “two harrowing nights
” in a sandstorm after. (Translation: “I may not have been shot at, but it
was no picnic, folks.”) But he has really very little to say about the
fiction he perpetrated numerous times over the years.
He's got one more. It's worth the link click to check it out.
NBC has fallen a long way over the years.
A very long way. |
