Once a journalist lies, it's impossible to believe him again. The whole thing is just sad.Lois Alter Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00457009348917459495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4969669656958290240.post-17131135598835703112015-02-08T20:31:18.656-08:002015-02-08T20:31:18.656-08:00'he' was my husband, commenting on the new...'he' was my husband, commenting on the news chatter.

For the past decade or two I've notice that more and more the story comes back to them - where THEY were, how THEY felt, how THEY were impacted. Just a few weeks ago, after watching the news, he said, "It's always about them." Brian is a prime example of that network narcissism.

He didn't come home until 1945. Back into the Air Force in 1951 and stayed until it was over. My dad was a solid man with a heart of gold and iron. I'm sure his comment would be something like 'a man knows when he's being shot at, or not.' What Brian said is something close to stolen valor. He took respect that belonged to other men. It's easy to forgive others for their flaws, since we all need forgiveness from others. However, Brian's job imposes an extraordinary responsibility in America. I can easily extend a courtesy to the man for being flawed; I can no longer listen to his comments on the national news without wondering . . .
