NBC’s Ridiculous Williams Suspension

0

BY L. BRENT BOZELL AND TIM GRAHAM

Brian Williams’ six-month suspension has fallen flat. His critics aren’t mollified. His supporters are clearly dispirited. Everyone knows this one is not over — though his tenure at NBC may very well be done.
The suspension isn’t going to work for the same reason his apology went nowhere. It resolves nothing.
Hubris. So many celebrities — be they politicians, journalists, artists — refuse to accept that the cover-up and obfuscation is always worse than the crime. Time and again, when honesty and humility beckon, they are nowhere to be found.
So it was with Richard Nixon. Had he accepted personal responsibility, immediately, and then taken the steps, immediately, to investigate and resolve the matter, there would have been no Watergate scandal marring his legacy.
Ronald Reagan did address Iran-Contra immediately, personally taking responsibility and firing staff responsible. But the body language of his administration and supporters (we were in that number) was different: The Contra cause was noble (and it was), therefore the funding was, well, clever. Except it was illegal.
Bill Clinton both lied (“Ah did nah have sexual relations with that woman”) and obfuscated (“it depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is”) and deserved his impeachment, removal from the bar and should have been removed from office for perjury.
The Williams explanation in his “apology” was a farce. He “misremembered” being hit by an RPG. For the love of God. This might be true if he had subsequently undergone a frontal lobotomy, otherwise it was not just untrue, it was impudent. Let them eat cake. He then added a new falsehood, suggesting the RPG had hit the helicopter in front of him when no such thing took place. And no small arms fire. And not injuries to his pilot. And …
Hillary Clinton is no different. She has yet to answer for Benghazi, hoping her media allies will help in the cover-up (which they’ve done diligently thus far). If forced to testify, she feigns anger, then tearful sorrow, all for the cameras and the evening news.
She still has to answer for the lies she told about Bosnia. More important, she needs to come clean about the insulting explanation she provided.
In a speech at George Washington University on March 17, 2008 she recounted the story about her harrowing experience at the airport in Tuzla during the Bosnian war. “I remember landing under sniper fire. There was supposed to be some kind of a greeting ceremony at the airport, but instead we just ran with our heads down to get into the vehicles to get to our base.”
It was beyond dramatic. It was pure drama. As Media Research Center sleuth Rich Noyes discovered looking at news footage of that trip, nothing of the sort had occurred. There she was, smiling, standing in front of schoolchildren lined up on the tarmac. Accepting their flowers.
How to explain this dishonesty? Why, with another dishonesty, and even that only when growing public outrage threatened to derail her candidacy. She told a friendly audience, smiling, laughing, that by golly that was a whopper, wasn’t it? (SET ITAL) Yuk-yuk. (END ITAL) She was tired. It was all because of “sleep deprivation.” (SET ITAL) Yuk-yuk. (END ITAL)
That was as dishonest as the original statement. Sleep deprivation can cause you to forget you were in Cairo when you stated you were in Cannes. Or that you met with Queen Sophia when it was Queen Elizabeth. But sleepiness does not cause a person to make up entire stories about ducking enemy sniper fire any more than misrememberance explains tall tales about RPG attacks.
Brian Williams lied. The honorable thing was to apologize, honestly and completely, and resign. His career would have been resurrected immediately. If he refused to, the honorable decision from Comcast/NBC was termination and a corporate apology (which they owed anyway). Neither happened. Instead it was a bizarre long-term suspension, and another self-inflicted wound, and more bleeding as the Peacock Network’s credibility disintegrates.

COA looks to Illinois for guidance on admission of naprapath’s testimony

0

Marilyn Odendahl for www.theindianalawyer.com

In a case of first impression, the Indiana Court of Appeals found that a naprapath licensed in Illinois could testify about a woman’s injuries following a slip and fall.

Barbara Banske of Lansing, Illinois, was awarded $243,000 in damages by a Lake County jury after she slipped on a floor mat and fell while visiting Walnut Creek Nursery, d/b/a/ Alsip Home & Nursery in St. John, Indiana. She received treatment for her injuries from Laura Grice, a naprapath licensed in Illinois.

At trial, Alsip filed a motion in limine requesting the exclusion of Grice’s testimony because she was not qualified to testify. At a pre-trial conference, Lake Superior Judge John Sedia denied the motion but limited her testimony to the confines of her particular discipline. Naprapathy is a branch of alternative medicine that focuses on the evaluation and specialized treatment of neuro-musculoskeletal conditions.

Sedia later recused himself and the case was transferred to Lake Superior Judge John Pera. Alsip again objected to Grice’s testimony but Pera reiterated Sedia’s ruling that Grice could testify within her qualifications.

After the verdict, Alsip appealed on the grounds the trial court committed reversible error by allowing the naprapath’s testimony at trial. The nursery argued Grice was not qualified to be an expert in the case since she was not a medical doctor or chiropractor licensed in Indiana.

The Court of Appeals affirmed the decision of the trial court in Walnut Creek Nursey, Inc., d/b/a/ Alsip Home & Nursey v. Barbara Banske, 45A05-1406-CT-256.

Since Indiana does not license naprapaths, the Court of Appeals turned to Illinois for understanding.

Applying the rationale used in Kyowski v. Burns, 388 N.E.2d 770 (Ill. App. Ct. 1979), the Court of Appeals concluded Grice’s testimony about her treatment of Banske’s injuries was sufficiently connected to her accident and, therefore, the trial court did not err by admitting Grice’s testimony.

IS IT TRUE February 20, 2015 Updated

228

IS IT TRUE we have discovered that the boat referred to by the Fire Chief that we interpreted to be the EFD fire boat was not the EFD fire boat?…we therefore retract and remove the previous paragraph and apologize to Chief Connolly for our misinterpretation of his words?…the CCO has always been a strong supporter of the EFD and the EPD and choose to criticize only for the purpose of stimulating improvements when they are needed?…that was not the case with respect to the Chief’s remarks yesterday?

IS IT TRUE if there is one thing that Mayor Winnecke and his Democrat opponent agree on these days, it is that downtown Evansville is the ideal location for the IU Medical School and that the State of Indiana should be looking at this with some sense of urgency with a willingness to spend more money than has been allocated?…it would be interesting to see if the two of them agree that $57 Million was the right amount of money for the City of Evansville to borrow to contribute to the project when there were two other locations that would have cost the taxpayers of Evansville nothing?…the economic impact to the Evansville region would be the same without regard to whether the IU Medical School landed downtown, on the east side, or in Warrick County?…the price being paid by the taxpayers of Evansville to choose the location of downtown Evansville seems a bit stiff to practical minds so the CCO would like very much to know what points these two disagree on with respect to this project?

IS IT TRUE if the truth emanated from the Civic Center last month (which is a very big if) then we are only one week away from seeing the renderings of the new and devolved stick built version of a downtown convention hotel?…we do remember Mayor Winnecke stating that the plans and the new quote would be available by the end of February in 2015?…it is nearly time to have a one year anniversary of the ground breaking ceremony held last March after the January scheduling was cancelled due to freezing?…we do not have our hopes up on this one as things like this have a way of leaking and we have not seen or heard of any leaks?

IS IT TRUE Mole # 6 tells us that the Evansville Police are investigating an incident that left a man with a stab wound?…this unfortunate victim was found wandering around on Columbia Street and New York Avenue around yesterday just after 5:00 pm?…reports state that the stabbing occurred somewhere on the south side of town which continues to be a hotbed of violence including a record 2014 for shootings?

IS IT TRUE another day has passed without any official disclosure about who the three anonymous boat cleaners who are credited for begin on board when the Inland Marina boat fire started?  …there are unofficial and unfounded reports about who two of them are but even those are not exactly definitive?…of all the mysteries surrounding the boat fire, we believe that the facts how the boat fire was started will soon be made public?

RIECKEN TO MOVE QUICKLY TO HELP VANDERBURGH, OTHER COUNTIES RECOVER POTENTIAL GAMING REVENUE LOSSES

30

 

INDIANAPOLIS – State Rep. Gail Riecken (D-Evansville) said today she will move quickly to pursue legislation that will enable Vanderburgh County and other local units of government to recover potentially devastating losses in revenue that would result if suggested changes in state gaming laws take place.

Riecken said she will offer an amendment to House Bill 1540 to enable local units to recoup losses that would come from provisions in the legislation that take away nearly $58 million in support to the local governments with casinos and eliminate a casino admissions tax that provided added proceeds to local units.

“If these changes come to pass, Vanderburgh County, Evansville and the Convention and Visitors Bureau together will lose approximately $4.2 million in revenue after December 31, 2016 that is critical to the ongoing needs of residents in our area,” Riecken said.

“At a time when local units are suffering under intense financial burdens that make it difficult to do things like keep our roads clear, our streets safe, and ensure that residents get the regular daily services they deserve, it is entirely unacceptable to me and many others that we should accept some of the provisions that are contained in the current version of HB 1540,” she added.

“In that light, it seems only fair to provide a means for local units to get that revenue back, and in this current atmosphere, I must say that a wagering tax appears to be the best option available,” Riecken said. “I will move as quickly as possible to provide that option.”

HB 1540 will first become eligible for amendment by Riecken and other House members on Monday.
