David Carr, Brian Williams and the Question of Forgiveness

Redemption often depends on whether your sins were personal or professional

What are we willing to forgive?

In the case of David Carr, some truly horrible things. In fact, you could argue that by the time of his abrupt passing this week, the only one who hadn't forgiven Carr for the darkest hours, days, months and years of his addiction was Carr himself.

Meanwhile, the fate of Brian Williams, a man who by all accounts has lived a personal life above board, remains in question thanks to a falsehood he apparently perpetuated for more than a decade.
