Re: Brian Williams
The networks have been lying to us for ages. It's not just them either. I was an ROTC student at the University of Michigan. I had humanities professors that spewed nonsense while I sat in uniform in their class. They may have been ignorant, but if you have the ability to find the truth and you continue in a lie just because it's convenient it's a lie just the same.
My kids ask tough questions all the time. Often I have to answer "I don't know, let's look it up." It's not that hard.
General Motors vs. NBC
Further information: Chevrolet C/K § Sidesaddle fuel tank controversy
On November 17, 1992, Dateline NBC aired an hour-long investigative report titled "Waiting to Explode," which focused on allegations that General Motors' Rounded-Line Chevrolet C/K-Series pickup trucks exploded upon impact when involved in collisions due to the poor design of the vehicle model's fuel tanks. Dateline 's footage showed a sample of a low-speed accident in which the fuel tank exploded; the explosion during the crash test would later be discovered to have been rigged by producers with the program, who placed remotely controlled model rocket engines inside the truck's fuel tank to initiate the blast. The program did not disclose the fact that the accident was staged.
