We keep on trusting these masters of deceit.
Just when I started feeling sorry for the guy, Brian Williams, along came a report from Sherri Mandell, the award-winning writer.
Mandell, an American Israeli from Judea/Samaria, met Williams before he became a famous TV anchorman and liar.
Back in 2001, Koby, Mandell’s 13-year-old son was murdered at the hands of Palestinian Arab savages, beaten with rocks, and in Williams, then a reporter, she thought she had a sympathetic ear. Well, he acted sympathetic. A perfect story about what Israelis are up against? Not quite. The story ended up on NBC Nightly News and by slippery insinuation blamed the “settlers” for the attack and for everything else.
Read Mandell’s searing book, “The Blessing of a Broken Heart.”
Israelis and plenty of Americans – we keep on trusting these masters of deceit.
Back home, Williams publicly shamed President George W. Bush (a Yale scholar) for his taste in books, smirking that Bush knew nothing about literature except for books about baseball. If you watched closely, you could see Williams winking to his pals on New York’s Upper West Side. Bush is a Republican. He must be dumb.
He certainly cannot be as smart as us.
