“Unfortunately for Williams, he is not a politician but a journalist — his profession is one in which lying is still, technically, frowned upon”

Amazing but true- we actually expect our politicos to lie to us!

“Clinton and Harkin are just two in a long history of politicians who’ve exaggerated — or flat-out lied — about their war experience. In fact, some might consider it a political tradition”

How is this acceptable? If this is a career-ender for Williams, it should be for Clinton too. We need to make this manifest.

We don’t expect media people to lie to us? Should we not fear an appointment with the dentist either? What weird alternative reality do people live in?

Those who have been misinforming their audiences are intelligent enough to know that they are deceiving their viewers.

In what appears to be an attempt to outfox the Fox News Network,the more liberal networks of NBC, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and CNN now propagandize their viewers with “outright lies.”

Harvard Professor Stephen Walt reports that as early as 2005, 78 percent of the news media, 72 percent of military leaders and 69 percent of foreign affairs specialists believed that backing Israel seriously damages America’s image around the world.

That factual revelation isn’t something you hear on TV. If 78 percent of the news media hold that belief, they are not reporting it.

How does all this play out on the stage of life, in which we all have a part to play day in and day out? Do we become cynical when deceived by some shyster in the street or in the White House? Do we trust that because someone holds the ultimate position of trust that they will lead us down the path of righteousness and truth to better our life or country? Does the cynicism remain with us after we have been deceived or do we return to trust until proven wrong in our assumptions once again? How long do we go on living with and accepting deception before enough is enough and we make a stand for our fundamental beliefs?

If you know you are being lied to and you are absolutely sure that you are being steered down a dead-end street that is causing you to forsake your moral judgment and the foundation of your upbringing and making a mockery of everything you hold as the truth, should you tolerate it?

Don’t let there be a mushroom cloud on the horizon that will erase your ability to make the nightmare go away for generations to come. You have got to make it happen before it’s too late to put the train in reverse and send the liars to Mars on the next flight out!
