MSNBC

The offshoot network from NBC, MSNBC, has a problem with credibility.

Every time I see two individuals, in particular, I get angry that they are allowed to fool the public into thinking they are credible. Who am I talking about?

The ‘Reverend’ Al Sharpton is case number one.

Back in 1987, a young 15-year old claimed she was raped and put into a garbage bag with feces spread on her body. Four white men were accused, although they were innocent, the trial jury found them innocent and it was concluded that Ms. Brawley had created the whole scenario. “The Rev’ took the case publicly, and gained notoriety as a Civil Rights advocator, along with three other questionable cohorts: Alton H. Maddox, and C. Vernon Mason, helping to increase their public prominence.

When I see him offer an opinion about anything including Trump, I have to wonder how sincere he is, or who made him an expert. He discusses truth among other things while he has been less than truthful in the past.

The other issue is Brian Williams, having been suspended for telling tall tales on TV.

According to Wikipedia:” In February 2015, Williams was suspended for six months from his position as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for "misrepresent[ing] events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003",[5] and on June 18, 2015, he was demoted to breaking news anchor for MSNBC

Brian Williams comes across as a credible news reporter, but he is colored by his dishonesty and questionable reporting, and I can not get past the facts as they are.
