Liberal Media- NBC's Brian Williams is NOW under fire

[Tom Sweetnam]

Now, he is on tape saying he watched a body float by in the French Quarter of New Orleans after Katrina.

But, the French Quarter is high ground, and New Orleans police say the only body they got out of the French Quarter after Katrina was one who died at a restaurant of a heart attack...and they didn't let him float off.

Lots of people, particularly pinheads in the Northeast and California, have moderate personality disorders...Brian Williams is obviously one. Out of a sense of cowardice, probably, he has become a Liar and he has to now held a position which requires complete trust. I don't think even NBC can overlook this. They should send him off for treatment and then let him be a commentator...maybe let him replace Rachael Maddow. Her audience numbers in the hundreds.

Are you insinuating that Americans have no interest in watching a fat smelly bull duke lie and bitch constantly about people who suffer mental normalcy? Is that what you're insinuating, hater?

Paula Deen is fat and a liar but no reason to think she smells.

She's a chef who publishes cook books for God's sake. Now that demographic has joined Duddly's ever-expanding network of "hate groups"?

No matter how many people here would swear that the French Quarter was flooded. The official word is it wasn't.

The French Quarter isn't "high ground". It's about 6 to 8 feet AMSL tops, pun intended.
And the police were all but nonexistent -- all their horses died, their radio communication was out, and they were pretty much on their own to do what they could individually. There's a lot of shit that went down that never got "officially reported".

Btw this is a view looking across Canal Street -- the upriver border of the French Quarter and looking from the exact block where Williams' hotel was...

​

That's from the Houston Chronicle September 1, 2005. Looking down Baronne Street -- the Walgreen's is 900 Canal Street. The Ritz-Carlton where Williams was is at 921 Canal Street -- right where this picture is looking from.

So much for "high ground".

____________________________________________

The French Quarter is the high ground in New Orleans along with the Garden District and besides, bodies don't "float by" in 3 or 4 inches of water. Your little picture there proves he is a Liar. Hell, he has admitted he is a Liar...the question now is whether he is a serial Liar. And whether news anchors who are admitted Liars can stay on as news anchors. Its supposed to be a position of high trust.

You've never been to New Orleans, have you.

There is no "high ground" and the photo proves nothing.

As for it being "a position of high trust", RWs watch fox so they have no room to talk. You remember fox, right? They tell the truth in only 18% of their stories so you can come down off your high horse now.

Luddly, the French Quarter is higher in elevation than the surrounding parts of the city. Sometimes, a few feet of elevation makes all the difference in the world.

It is, but it's still no more than 6 to 8 feet AMSL. It's relative.
That had little bearing on flooding -- whether you got flooded had very little to do with what your elevation was (as if it varies there) and everything to do with how close you were to one of the seven levee breaks.

My street for instance took only 2 feet, and since the house is raised it didn't get damaged. My GF's house on the other hand took 8 feet -- and it was on higher ground. Her downstairs neighbors who elected to stay and ride the storm, woke up the night after Katrina hit to find themselves floating in their bed. They had to wait for a helicopter rescue days later to get out of there.

These armchair geographers -- pretty damn silly.

6-8 feet is a lot in a swamp. That aside, my (former) house was on Bancroft near Bayou St. John . Too far away from the Mississippi River to be above sea level..

Every foot counts in a flood obviously, but the point is the flooding had far more to do with how near the nearest levee break was than what the elevation of "here" was.

These are a couple of snapshots from an area in Mid-City that took 8 feet. All of this was underwater -- the expression on the car says it all. The second one was a working convenience store. These were taken in October, a minimum of 7 weeks after the flood, when we were allowed back in.

Ok...fair is fair.

If Brian Williams has to lose his job for embellishing, half the Senate should lose their jobs for embellishing.

Right?

 

[Tom Sweetnam]

They don't even qualify as "celebrities" in the realm of TV hierarchy. They're "personalities." And three months after they die, who remembers they ever existed in the first place?

 

[blackhawk]

He's not done he is a member of the liberal media brotherhood he'll be fine conservative talk radio will hammer him and Hannity will go on about him for a few days but by and large most of the media will ignore all this.

 

[Gracie]

If he was still on the air, still reporting, who would believe whatever he has to say? Nobody.

See post 2.

Interesting that the story contains the line:
New details: Katrina photos show water did surround Ritz-Carlton, where NBC anchor Brian Williams stayed

No shit. As I illustrated here.

Hard to figure out how these are "new details" -- I've known them for going on ten years. So has the rest of New Orleans.

 

[Gracie]

NBC has to remove him. Period. They have no choice. Can't have a reporter reporting bullshit lies.

Actually none of this even relates to a news report Gracie.

There's a lot of shit that went down that never got "officially reported". Pretending there even existed a police force or official-anything is just hackitude. We residents weren't even allowed back into the city until OCTOBER.

That's from the Houston Chronicle September 1, 2005. Looking down Baronne Street -- the Walgreen's is 900 Canal Street. The Ritz-Carlton where Williams was is at 921 Canal Street -- right where this picture is looking from. In other words your standing on the edge OF the French Quarter looking downtown.

That hotel, sitting on the edge of the French Quarter, didn't reopen for over a year after that because it had extensive..... wait for it.... flood damage.

So much for "high ground".

Yanno what -- I left out an important piece of info.

Here's the caption for the picture above:
Hurricane Katrina victims walk along Canal Street as they evacuate their French Quarter hotel Sept. 1, 2005, in New Orleans. (Brett Coomer : Houston Chronicle) -- from the photographer's page here

"Evacuate their French Quarter hotel".

If the FQ "has no flooding" -- why are they evacuating? Where would you go??

It doesn't say which hotel they're coming from but they are walking directly away from the Ritz Carlton.

You tell me.

What thread?? I don't even do climate change.

And while I'm at it I should add that nor do I "dissolve into petty name calling" you overstuffed idiotic hackmouthed disease-ridden pus-eating batshit-insane mentally-microbic sphincter-scratching urinary-condimenting self-flagellating would-be-cretin-except-it-would-be-an-insult-to-cretins who has the brain of a duck you know.

Ladies and gentlemen of the jury...the defendant just convicted himself by using the same language used in the other thread in question....a thread deemed by the judge here to be inadmissible, yet the exact poison fruit, the same tree.

The prosecution rests.

May it please the Court, Motion to Declare Counsel Incompetent...
