The "Men in Bathrobes" have found power only be revealing truth. Dan Rather lost his job because "Men in Bathrobes" exposed his story on President Bush for what it was, a lie.  "Men in Bathrobes" exposed Reuter's publication of doctored photo's during last years Lebanon conflict. One can go on and on.

I rest easier knowing that there are "Men in Bathrobes" out there. There combined strength will eventuall dwarf purveyors of artifiicially sweetened news such as Williams.

The Internet is the most important invention for news since the printing press. Do a better job Williams

Don't forget to add the "natural" tan Williams always has.  I remember him reporting from New Orleans and talking about the sun and his tan.  Why is it there in February?  Ever notice when he blinks that his eyelids are pure white?  He obviously wears those eye shields without a nose piece or elastic bands.

That's Williams' best shot at trying to silence the blogosphere ... paint all [conservative] bloggers with a Sopranoesque image of some New Yorker named Vinnie in his skivvies. That's sad.

If Vinnie's kickin' his butt with just truth and a keyboard, maybe he shouldn't be making $5 million a year ... maybe a guy like Vinnie should be sittin' in his seat - making $2 million a year (think about the savings, NBC).

God forbid what the liberal bloggers look like ... naked, frothing at the mouth, with a bunch of empty Red Bull cans all over the floor ... and CNN running in the background ... and Gore-Lieberman posters all over the wall ... and Newsweek magazines scattered across the bed (probably mixed in with several Playboys, some form letters from Hillary Clinton, a stack of credit card bills, and a week's worth of unwashed underwear).

Williams, and other newsreaders, are seeing the handwriting on their teleprompters, and it is telling them they are becoming irrelevant - and they don’t like it.

As they sit in their multimillion dollar news sets telling us how important they are, the bloggers, sitting in their PJs,  are doing what the MSM should be doing – reporting the news.

Apparently, he and his fellow newsreaders believe that by ridiculing and demeaning them, the bloggers will fold up their PJs, put them back in the dresser, and go away. Talk about the height of pomposity and how delusional they are.

A few rears ago Matt Drudge, speaking before the Washington Press Club, predicted the emergence of what he called “internet citizen journalists”, and they laughed at him. Well, they ain’t laughing now.

Power to the blogosphere!

Knowing all I know about Brian, and all I can possibly "know" about Brian's "Vinnie" stereotype, I'm leaning toward trusting Vinnie more to tell the truth on any political story...

 Williams: "All of my life, developing credentials to cover my field of work.......

   So sad for Mr. Williams.  He's a generation too late.  Gone are the days when the wise men descended from their lofty perches each day to tell us what was important and how we should think about it. 

He added that it’s often difficult to judge the credibility of a blogger. "On the Internet, no one knows if you’ve been to Ramadi or you’ve just been to Brooklyn and have an opinion about Ramadi," said Williams.

  uuuhhhh..... is he saying he's been to every place that he's ever mentioned on his newscast? 

"You’re going to be up against people who have an opinion, a modem, and a bathrobe," said Williams.

  I can't speak for Mr. Williams, but so there's no misunderstanding, as I sit here and type I have never tried to visualize what you other guys are wearing right now.  Just wanted to make that clear.

Well, dear Brian has every right to comment on the education of bloggers.  After all he has a first-class education:

After high school, he attended Brookdale Community College, before transferring to George Washington University, and then to the Catholic University of America. To pay his tuition, he worked at a pancake restaurant and at a local Sears department store. He never graduated, instead taking an internship with the administration of President Jimmy Carter.

Got that  -- HE NEVER GRADUATED!

Only a foolish man would choose such words to lash out against his critics.  Anybody remember how the MSM ridiculed George H.W. Bush for being out of touch with the ordinary American…. all because of a grocery scanner?  But William’s lack of the “common touch” will only be noted on the blogs. 

Williams should note two things. First, he said "On the Internet, no one knows if you’ve been to Ramadi or you’ve just been to Brooklyn and have an opinion about Ramadi," in trying to make a point that it’s often difficult to judge the credibility of a blogger. Well, Willams, did you know that our unmanned vehicles these days are flown by soldiers sitting in a ground station in the United States? Does that make these soldiers "not credible"? Or does it really mean that modern technology allows us to take advantage of world-wide information sources, giving bloggers a lot more credibility than you now have?

Second, Pollowitz had a good retort to the William's "We concentrate on the important stories at NBC". Yeah, like Harry Potter? Now that's important. I'm looking at the top stories on MSNBC right now. The top story is "Harry packs a punch". Then, below that, are "Other top Stories" which includes "Iraqi Army: Dozens seized near border". Hey Brian, which do you think should be the top story, and if you choose the Iraqi story, how come you don't have enough influence to make it happen?

Williams is just another whinney, liberal know-it-all whose head is too big for his hat, trying to bring normal people down to his level.

In reading Brian Williams silliness, I was reminded of a Person Who never had a pillow of his own to rest his head on in poverty, never went to a university and never travelled more than 200 miles from His earthly home in His Life.

Jesus was His Name and He received all of His Wisdom from the Father.

Now perhaps Mr. Williams is referring to the malevolent ranters like Bill Maher on Huffington Post who seem to link everything to the F word in life and those who hide behind their computers following Ariana and comradery and never see the light of day or understanding.

BUT, most bloggers here have a definite insight which can only come from God. That kind of discernment is not travel, money nor university created. What is travel, money and university created is being a pompous ass like Brian Williams.

In closing, Williams "thought" when he took over he could run one week of pro American and Conservative stories and fake all of those "stupid" people into forever ratings. They left him though and NBC has tanked.

I though would rather be in the company of thee Jesus who never travelled, was God inspired and was poor, because His Work for the Father changed the world and is the Power which Brian Williams is still fighting against.

God bless you Brian Williams as it is a long hard lesson learned and haning around with bigot and racist Jimmy Carter is not improving your chances at Life where Life matters.

Brian Williams...

You are NOT important.

Never have been...never will be.

You are a pompous arse...a legend in your own mind.

Click the channel.

So you worked on your credentials--heh.  I still don't bother watching you, Brian.  There is absolutely no reason for me to do that.  My credentials have been established too and I submit, beat yours. 

Liberalism is a convenient lie.
