Adios, Brian Williams

Anybody who believes that Brian Williams will be back as editor-in-chief and anchor of NBC news in six months would buy the Brooklyn Bridge from a stranger for $100.

Giving him a six-month suspension is NBC’s way of easing themselves out of an embarrassing situation--not to help Williams.  NBC, panders to liberals and others of low intellect, and they know that their target audience has a short-term memory, like all liberals, and most of them will not even remember who Brian Williams is (was) in six months. They know that Williams is not a rocket scientist and probably not smart enough to save face by resigning during his six-month “banishment.”  He is clear proof that intellect (as well as scruples) at NBC is irrelevant.  Hell, Brian Williams dropped out of college with 18 credits. 

Williams is an NBC-made icon.  They taught him how always to face slightly to his left to conceal his twisted nose (twisted noses are often characteristic of villains in novels). NBC taught him how to use bias with facial expression; how to scowl at the mention of a conservative in the news; how to smile at the mention of liberals; how to look horrified at catastrophes that can be blamed on Rephblicans, etc. Political consultants teach such things, and Obama used the tactics in debates with Mitt Romney.

Do not look for things to change at NBC.  They will continue to pander to the lower tier of society, and they will try to find someone else with appeal to those that respond strictly to emotive stimulation, never to logic or intelligence.  In the meantime, "Adios, Brian Williams."
