Brian Williams -- Can You Spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-T-E?

16. Generally speaking, it has been my experience that the people who really care about what is going on in the world would rather not hear about the stupid twats that are dissected on celebrity gossip websites, shows, magazines, and newspapers. I think it is a sign of integrity that NBC chooses not to give these people the attention that they get from all other media. If I want to hear about that kind of crap, I'll watch E! or come to this website.

17. Good for Brian Williams & NBC! I agree, Lindsay is NOT nightly news.

18. Hey lay off Brian Williams. I'm sick of hearing about Lindsey Hohan and her alcohol problem. It's not news. 1,000+ American troops dying in Iraq is news. Rising gas prices, that's news.

19. I have to agree with EVERYONE.....Who should give a f**k about LiLo when she doesn't give a f**k about herself!!!! She ain't nothing but a ATTENTION GO-GETTER along with those other trashy girls ....Brittney Spears and Paris Hilton, and others......

20. Go NBC. So what if we want to go to TMZ and read about it, we search it out. But Lindsay's messed up life does not belong on World News. Why emphasize the idiocy that is Lindsay Lohan on World News.?

21. Brian Williams is a complete snob and hypocrite. But he's more of a COWARDLY FAKE than anything else.

The ever-so-righteous NBC sure didn't mind showing us the Virginia Tech mass murderer videos ~~~~~nonstop~~~~~~~ did they now? Didn't even wait until the victims families could view, much less even bury their dead family members! COWARD Brian Williams couldn't even begin to defend the LAME excuses NBC tried to sell us.
Stutter much, Brian? AVOID much, Brian?

Talk about CRUEL MORONS. I will NEVER forgive NBC.

22. Brian Williams is 100% correct on this one. The fluff pieces TMZ is scoffing at aren't analogous to coverage of Lohan's crash/rehab. Harvey, you're way off here.

23. NBC has some nerve trying to act like they dont care about non news stories. They are notorious for trying to "create" news if it has anything to do with bashing Right Wing Conservatives.

NBC's ratings have plummeted the past months because they have been caught at taking for face value rantings from left wing blogs and than turning it into "news".

And Williams wants a medal for not reporting on Lohan? Get a grip you phoney, what do you think your parent company, Jeff Zucker, MSNBC and a large list of associatted celebrity watch sites under their control are all about?

Brian Williams has turned into the Lefts mouthpiece and his reporting is tainted, biased and unfair. I hope he goes the way of CBS and Couric, right down the ratings tubes.

ABC is continuing to gain new viewers as honest people have figured out they have been taken for a long slow ride to la la land with dishonest Williams and that whole NBC bunch.

Make sure you dont report on Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Babs, Rosie, Robbins, Sarandon, Baldwin and Clooney while your feeling so righteous Williams.

24. Your getting all the old timers worked up TMZ lmao. Maybe most were starved for a break from the never ending arm chair analysis on the Iraq war it went on night and day, yet we hardly saw a soldier after a few weeks. Just self important media sitting around talking about it.The Media News needed to be humbled. It most likely will return back to the days of old before the war soon They have gotten the hint maybe that their self righteous round table opinions leave many OK with LiLo segments.
Just report don't go on how national matters of importance should be dealt with night and day. notice the comments in this blog are low lol Hope it's not a reflection on NBC's most risky move.

25. Lindsay Lohan's story IS important and it -should- be widely reported.
Who better to use an example to those of her ilk or wannabes that her way is the WRONG way.

You can just bet your life if the Bush twins did some public service announcement that was anti-drinking and driving he'd be the first news anchor to give it top priority on his bias and boring newscast.
Lindsay Lohan is the poster girl for what not to do, for how not to behave, and where you'll end up if you think otherwise. That makes her story newsworthy not only in the gossip world but in mainstream media.

26. Kudos to Brian Williams! Kudos!
She doesnt deserve to be on the news. (Besides I think ET has that one covered)
There are much more important things going on in the world than her. And she,paris,Nicole,Mischa and Britney need to learn that.
I'll take the senior citzens playing Wii and anything besides them on tv any day!

27. THANK YOU NBC. I would rather watch a piece on the 2007 Geriatric Wii games, than anything regarding Lilo on major media stations. Besides that's what TMZ is for, right?

28. YOU PEOPLE JUST FIGURED OUT THIS ISN'T****REAL NEWS****....morons,,4 FUN

29. this is the place for trash like LiLO and I love it..it's a secret pleasure of mine to read about the pain of others...but hard news it ain't. NBC made the right call.

30. Yeah, so NBC News is hypocritical -- is that a big surprise? From the tone of your story it sounds like TMZ is being defensive -- are you guys just feeling bad that you're not real journalists? Are you insecure? Sure sounds like it. That's ok -- just go post a few more stories where you make fun of innocent kids with long hair and dead celebrities.

Jesus, the way you TMZ staffers dish it out seems like you wouldn't be so uptight about where it is exactly that you fit
