Is Brian Williams Right?

June 26th, 2008 7 Comments

He takes Reuters to task for sending out a story about possible life on Mars, saying that the story about selling GM and the Supreme Court 2nd Amendment case is more important.

I’m inclined to disagree with him because cosmically the Mars story is FAR more important. But I’m clearly biased.

    Williams’ post begins:

    “The headline on the Reuters News Agency wire story this afternoon was fairly declarative: SCIENTISTS SAY MARTIAN SOIL COULD SUPPORT LIFE. Alrighty then.”

    Uh, Bri? Reuters publishes more than one story a day! They can cover Mars as well as all that other stuff you think is more deserving of our attention.

    I keep thinking the record setting corruption and criminal activity in the White House is an important story.

    Silly me.

    Who takes Williams seriously? The guy is a self confessed ditto-head. That tells you all you need to know about him.

    WTF? Where does he take them to task for having the story? Look at what Williams actually wrote instead of just what someone else said about it. He’s commenting on it not being a slow news day.

    This is no time to turn away. Take a day off from the consumption of news, and you’re going to miss something big.

    Check your source material, guys.

    OW is a Martian, pushing the pro-Martian agenda.
