Nightly News

When I think of all the lies that I have heard over the years:

"We did not trade arms for hostages in Iran"

"Global Warming is a fraud for a carbon tax"

"Kennedy died from a shot by a lone gunman"

"We had no idea about Pearl Harbor"

"The Maine was sunk by the Spanish"

"The Holocaust did not occur"

"Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait"

"Saddam Hussein is using WMDs from a large stockpile"

"The Gulf of Tonkin justified Vietnam"

"There are no truths to conspiracies"

"Drugs are not addictive"

"We are a legitimate business"

"The news is unbiased"

"The Federal Reserve is a government branch"

"All men are created equal"

"Watergate was a third-rate burglary"

"Osama Bin Laden did 911"

"Ronald Reagan was a great leader"

"Clarence Thomas is the most qualified for the Supreme Court"

"Bill Cosby is America's Dad"

"I did not kill my child"

"He/she was asking for it"

"I do not have a problem"

Et cetera, ad infinitum, ad nauseum


Brian Williams' tales of his life are not worth criticizing.  Williams, like many, are simply a by-product of a culture that lies to itself.  Because you see, people believe a lie than a truth when it is in their interests.

So I ask you, what is the bigger lie:  Brian Williams or the wars of the last 14 years?  Find the answer, and you will find the truth.

Feel free to comment and post your thoughts.  I strongly encourage it.

Talk to you tomorrow,
