I assume there was once a time when journalists were impartial and genuinely wanted to tell the truth. These days, news readers on the networks and cable news outlets are paid so much money that it becomes much more about personality than it does about journalistic integrity. These guys and gals have to become self-promoters in order to get the best jobs. I wonder if this didn't have something to do with Williams' twisting of the facts.
He's got to go but I suspect they'll never find a truly impartial and honest replacement. NBC may not even want to find a real journalist...too much money involved. Maybe we'll see a Kardashian behind the news desk one of these days.
About the only thing we can do is access as many news sources as possible and then try to sift through it all to find the truth.
