Following his increasingly infamous spat with Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the credibility of the media’s recent reporting, Brian Karem, writer for The Sentinel and Playboy, took to the airwaves to vent his concerns to other highly regarded news intellectuals. This eventually led him to the entirely credible, and not at all untrustworthy, person of Brian Williams. “They've never admitted a mistake,” Karem whined and huffed incessantly to Brian, “There is never any accountability, yet they want to flip the script and hold us accountable while not accepting any responsibility themselves and that's a very childish maneuver.”
Williams, who has been well-documented for having lied and fabricated stories under the guise of a humble, honest news reporter, seemed an interesting choice for Karem to consult. Despite his repeated fabrications, Williams was only briefly suspended before being welcomed back onto the air, albeit with a less prominent show on MSNBC. If one wishes to spread the good graces of the mainstream media you would think that one might seek out someone other than the poster boy for everything wrong with it:
BRIAN KAREM: So it's really kind of -- you know, as I told my wife this evening, it's like- it was like dealing with my children. After a while enough is enough. And I had had enough.
BRIAN WILLIAMS: And you can speak for yourself. But it seemed to me watching you that a big concern to you was this kind of negative affirmation for the audience that already is highly suspect of the information that comes out of the news media, believes we're all in the tank.
KAREM: Absolutely. They believe we're all ca-hooting together. We have a nefarious plan. The nefarious plan, the only agenda is to try and get facts. And every time that you paint us as such you're undermining the very First Amendment that you claim that you support. And time after time after time they've told news that room how they support the First Amendment. They just don't like the people practicing it. And that's very disheartening. It's very disingenuous. They've never admitted a mistake. We're led on a path of one way with Comey -- I've got tapes--No I don't have tapes. And then there is never any accountability, yet they want to flip the script and hold us accountable while not accepting any responsibility themselves and that's a very childish maneuver. It's what my kids used to do and I didn't like it then and I don't like it now.
Karem had already gone on a rant earlier in the evening with MSNBC’s own Chris Matthews, but it looks like he ultimately decided that he could do one better with Williams before the night was out. Whether or not he actually persuaded anyone new to his cause, however, remains in doubt.
