Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

That was pretty awesome actualy!

 

From you to USAA to Homeland Security. And it is not just USAA reporting.

 

Woah. Seriously? That's sad. That story got blown up for no reason.

 

^That's a pretty severe dent when his salary is $10 million a year.

How do you think it's sad he got suspended? He is lucky not to have been fired. NBC has lost it's credibility to report what is supposed to be accurate news and this clown perpetuates a lie for years. What a smack in the face to those real heroes of war.

 

Never take for face value what is being told to you by someone who is getting paid to tell it to you. The news has been skewing stories to bring in viewers and readers for decades, his story is nothing new.

 

Meh. I saw it when it originally aired. The story wasn't even about what happened to him. It was more about the friendship he now has with the one soldier who showed up to help protect. Who is highly decorated and because this bullshit, has been lost in the news drama fluff, instead of being recognized himself.

 

Not true at all. Journalists are supposed to have integrity and a code of ethics. Fabricating a story - lying - violates the code.

He claims to be honest and forthright - he's not, and got caught.

IMO, he should be fired.

 

Won't do me much good when I tell them no kindly.

 

And punched in the throat for the particular lie.

 

Did you even see or read what he said on said news broadcast? Or are you just going by what other dramatic reports are saying?

I don't care really what happens to the guy. He's got a shit ton of more money than me and I'm no relation. So whatever.

But the guy maybe embellished or mistakenly told a story that he was involved in. Something every human being has done in his lifetime. Kind of like the fisherman telling his big fish catch story, and every time the fish gets bigger.

I'm not saying the guy shouldn't report the truth. But this story had zero effect on anyone except for those involved. He wasn't reporting on some super virus that is killing everyone that gets it, that he made up just for the hell of it.

Cut the guy a break is what I'm saying. He's guilty of being human. Nothing more.

 

Bullshit! Have you ever heard of "Stolen Valor"? That's what he did...placed himself where he wasn't so he could reap the accolades. Fuck him!

 

Wasn't there. Said he was. Mistake or intentional...

Wrong as two boys fucking in church.

 

Wut?!

 

He was there.

And no one should be fucking in church for that matter.

 

At the time of his report I did - but, honestly, I do not remember the details.

It is exactly like a fisherman telling his big fish catch story. Which is exactly not how the evening news should be presented.

Stolen Valor. He took accolades that clearly weren't earned by him. He pretended to be a brave "hero" - which he is not. And, he personally benefited from such.

The problem is, citizens of this country are used to and accepting of the media and government lying to them. WHEN DID LYING BECOME OK? Or actually, the norm?????????

Yes, he is one person, only human and made a mistake. Except it wasn't a mistake - it is behavior that follows a pattern. In other words, it was intentional.
