I remember going trick or treating in about 3′ (that’s feet) of snow in the late 60′s. He is, of course, only a mouthpiece. Like an actor, he only reads what is put in front of him. Nary a one of these…. creatures… have anything remotly resembling a logical thought process.
Exactly. NBC has sold its soul to the Globaloney Devil, Williams included.
If you pay the anchor $10 million you will only have pennies left to pay interns for the fact-checking.

EARLY SNOWSTORM COVERS NORTHEAST
The earliest snowstorm on record struck New York, Connecticut and other parts of New England yesterday, burying some areas in more than a foot of snow that closed roads and airports, knocked out power to more than 300,000 homes and turned russet autumn to wintry solitude.
The storm – an Oct. 4 marvel caused by a collision of cold and soggy air masses – was the earliest in the region since the Army Signal Corps began keeping weather records in 1870. It eclipsed one that blew in on Oct. 10, 1925, and it even toppled the 150-year-old unofficial record – a blizzard that almanackers say hit on Oct. 6, 1836.

Has Brian Williams ever bothered to issue a correction for his grossly erroroneous anecdote? My guess is no. His lie was a noble lie because he was just doing what was best for the pwanet just like Mikey Mann and every other ‘climate’ hustler.
