A Lady In Private And A Whore In Public

NBC News Raccoon Brian Williams:

TVNewser: It’s been an interesting month for the TV business, with Rick Sanchez let go by CNN, and now FNC’s Juan Williams fired by NPR. What do you think of all this, and what do you think of the media coverage of these controversial developments?

Brian Williams: We’ve [covered] Juan the past two nights. The other two networks led with Juan Williams last night. I didn’t think it was quite at that level. But this is ‘eye of the beholder’ stuff. This is where, as someone said on our air last night, the First Amendment gives you the right to say what you want. It doesn’t give you the right to be employed.

So, these media organizations are exerting their own right to employ or not employ these folks. But I think there has been a little bit of a thread of media people, in the public eye, saying things and paying a price for it.

Yet Brian Williams, whom NBC Brand News goes With, both teased and opened the story on Thursday by saying it "raised questions about Political Correctness", before tossing to Andrea Mitchell, who had thoughtfully interrupted her tireless pursuit of Just Who in the Brown Campaign Called Meg Whitman a Swear to cover another major story.

Then the goddam thing rates a second night! More fallout! Jesus, Brian, your name's on the fucking show. If you know the story can be summed up in a sentence, tell me why didn't you sum it up in a sentence?

Political correctness? Sheesh, the only person making it about "Political Correctness" was Juan Williams, and he had a million reasons to do so. (None of which included his integrity as a commentator, of course, because he has none, which is what NPR should have said in the first place. Like at his job interview.)

Is this the way you covered the Sanchez story, Brian? Th' fuck makes "Scary Muslims want to blow up planes" less offensive than "The Jews run everything"? Other than the fact that the Jews run everything, I mean? Why don't you dedicate the second half of your career to actually being a journalist? What's the worst that could happen? How many meals are you going to miss from here on out?
