Fire Brian Williams. We became a great people because many, maybe most of our journalists were men and women of integrity and fearless honesty, telling the truth, and allowing the chips to fall where they may.
A free people get their news from reporters. If they are brainwashed, steered and influenced, not told the bare facts, and then left to make up their own minds, how will democracy survive.
The storyteller must be an honest man, decenty and above reproach. Brian failed this test. NBC must let him go to send a message that only truth-tellers need apply for a journalistic position.
Far too much is at stake. We need solid, current, accurate news by which American supercitizens glean to make up their minds, to lead their lives, to preserve the American Way, and to lead the world.
