And now, the analysis: While the New York Times investigates whether Brian Williams was a victim of false memory -- not a liar so much as a guy whose memory is faulty -- Will Leitch at Bloomberg Politics thinks that the media is piling on not because the transgression was earth-shattering -- the public, he notes, already thinks the news media is untrustworthy, and this just reinforces that opinion -- but because the media fighting the media gets attention, clicks, ratings. It's fun to pile on, even if it's just a typical bubble-headed anchorman you're taking down. So, is the reaction proportionate to the situation? (New York Times; Bloomberg Politics)
