With a 24/7 news cycle stories like this make the news. My question is WHY? One thing about the internet is that people sometimes hit that send button before thinking about what they are really doing it. I know because I have done it myself. Especially on the job. Good thing I had an “in” with the computer guys!!!

If this quote is indeed fabricated, then what was the purpose for doing it? That’s what I am curious about.

I didn’t think ANYONE would dare say something about NBC that they didn’t like. NBC thinks NO one can tell us the news like they can. Of course, all their news is to praise their so called president. Yes, they were the worst when it came to knowing things we should have known about Obambam, but they would not give us the truth and still won’t. There is no longer any journalism with NBC. ABC. CBS OR CNN, because they just don’t tell us what we really need to know. What I mean is to tell the truth about our president, because they hide anything that is not going to make THEM LOOK BIG! However, we know just how many things they change before it goes public and they think they are fooling us, NO, NO, they aren’t because we DO HAVE a TV news station that tells us the ABSOLUTE TRUTH, by showing the person they are referring to on a tape saying what they tell us they said. Unless you don’t believe your eyes and ears, then you must not be educated enough to know the truth.

First the disclosure. . . I am still NBC’s legal guy and I respect and like Steve Capus. With that said does anyone really believe that an NBC producer wrote an email re: nothing at all. . to a random think tank saying “bite me jew boy?” I have never been a big believer in the “I would never be so stupid” defense because very often people are that stupid. . but here there is no way she would have written that and maybe more important, no way Capus would put himself and the entire news division’s reputation on the line unless he was 100% sure. My verdict. . . no way it happened but then again with my perceived bias, I probably would never have been allowed on this jury.

Too bad this country doesn’t have true libel laws like they have in Britain. This kind of crap would end immediately.
