This story about Brian Williams having not been on the plane he said he was on is only astonishing for the length of time it took for the facts to come out since the events involved go back to 2003 and there were many witnesses.

Journalists have an agenda, and while their pretend-ethics say they shouldn’t, the do. This are the stories at Drudge:
