Do you deny the larger lies, or are you just upset that Brian embellished his RW cred? leveymg Feb 2015 #10

I never denied the larger lies. GGJohn Feb 2015 #11

The larger lies are nearly universal at that level, which is why it seems a bit unbalanced to leveymg Feb 2015 #12

While I mostly agree with you, and IMO, Bush and his whole cabal GGJohn Feb 2015 #13

I never fully trusted Williams or any network anchor. But, he seemed less RW in recent years leveymg Feb 2015 #14
