A message to Brian Williams and all Main Stream Media reporters [View all]

I don't believe you, I have not believed anything any of you have said since you all lied to get us into war in Afghanistan.

Weather you were used are were part of the charade, you lost all credibility and have done nothing to restore it. You intentionally misled an entire nation and promoted the lies of a regime which took control under questionable means which of course you allowed to happen.

In the democratic republic, the media was supposed to be the guardians of the truth, the barrier between an administration or Congress that overstepped its boundaries. That is how the founding fathers intended it, that is the true purpose of the First Amendment, to protect the media.

You all failed at your duties, you failed the American People and you failed humanity.

How do you restore your credibility? Don't know if that is entirely possible. To begin, you can name those who were responsible for the lies that drove us to an needless, useless, endless war. If it stops with you, which I don't believe it does, then speak it, if it leads to dragging current and former leaders through the mud, then it must be done, they deserve it. You OWE Humanity and you owe history this.
