Yes, the world if "info-tainment" (or what Stewart or Colbert called "newsertainment"). It seems to be the norm nowadays... with seemingly EVERYTHING a "breaking" news story. Unfortunately, William's story has morphed from the truth (small arms fire to his helicopter) to has migration to a downed helicopter. Who knows why.
Seems that most of these anchors fancy themselves as celebrities (e.g., Dan Rather)... and maybe that's the problem.
One thing that is also unfortunately the case here is that this has become fuel for the conservative vs. liberal positions (with respect to newscasters - or the perception of network bias).
But while we're at it... here's more fun. :highly_amused:

Now, I happen to KNOW that one's a fake: He would've used proper English and said "weren't".

One of the NY papers referred to him on their front page as "Lyin' Williams"

Oh my.
I suspect they'll be scrutinizing a lot of his former field reporting (and perhaps they did given the 6 month suspension).

Well, Williams can take solace that he has at least one ally in media. None other than Charlie "Tiger Blood" Sheen. I'm sure Brian is thrilled at the endorsement!

Oooer... ick. Yes, one doesn't know where that endorsement's been. :wink-new:

Agree with you on that!

I think the difference is they were journalists *before* they hit the public screen. Now it seems the news is delivered by the beautiful people.

Well, it was news back when I was a kid (a zillion years ago). Huntley-Brinkley reported world events, presidential trips, political developments - things that actually affected people nation wide. Don't recall them focusing on media events, entertainment personalities, local shootings, and "fashion trends". Not to mention a scorpion on an airplane, or the Westminster Dog Show.
