Brian Williams' Pulitzer-Luring Blog
If you've not been following NBC anchor Brian Williams' blog, you certainly should be — at least for the sake of witnessing this new, "transparent" chapter in television news. From New Orleans, Williams writes:
At that same fire scene, a police officer from out of town raised the muzzle of her weapon and aimed it at members of the media... obvious members of the media... armed only with notepads. Her actions (apparently because she thought reporters were encroaching on the scene) were over the top and she was told.
"She was told." Such raw detail, such vivid imagery. Is Brian Williams the new H.L. Mencken and, if so, does that make New Orleans the new Baltimore?
