Also reported as fake, reports made by CNN. Two videos. Strange at the very least.

Re: “Blame it on Bush”
Williams won a coveted Peabody Award for his Katrina reporting.
If the GOP had any serious leadership, we would demand that he return it.
According to the New Orleans Advocate, Williams claim isn't accurate as the French Quarter of the city – one of the highest parts of the city – was never flooded.Maybe Williams mind got confused again and he was talking about the man face down on his hotel bed.
Fake but accurate.

Brian Williams’ Katrina comments questioned after anchor apologizes for false Iraq war story
‘Tom Brokaw and [former NBC News President] Steve Capus knew this was a false story for a long time and have been extremely uncomfortable with it,’ an insider told the New York Post.

If true, then Brokaw is as guilty as Williams.
Those exact words came to my mind as well.
LOL!. Nice
I think the South Park episode “Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow” pretty much sums up sensationalist media. It was hilarious.
“The evening national news is going the way of the Edsel. It simply doesn’t work any longer.”
Hey! Don’t go disrespecting the Edsel! Look around and note the number of cars mimicking its “horse collar” grill. It was a car that was before its time! Plus, it got caught up in a recession :)
“....legendary anchor Tom Brokaw...”
Bwaaa-haa-ha! He’s a legend in his own mind! (Nowhere on the pages of history can one find a greater champion of justice. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the great horse Silver! The LONE Anchor LIES AGAIN!).
I learned something of use from watching the movie “Deadline USA”. There is a difference between a reporter and a journalist. A reporter gathers facts and presents them to the public while a journalist is the star of the story. How can they be a star if the story doesn’t happen to them? His editors may have had a hand in this.
PMSNBC a needs to be shut down period. It is a fifth column for Marxism and Islamic take over.
Actually, my first thoughts on this was that upper management HAD to know about it shortly after Williams’ first publicized fake war story. The news crew wouldn’t have been able to keep their mouths shut within NBC.
This whole thing has been a cover up from the gitgo.
Shep Smith of Fox reported cannibalism in the Super Dome and didn’t get fired, so apparently the media can make up anything and get away with it.
Brian Williams will return his journalistic “award” for honest reporting on the same day as the New York Times will do it for Walter Duranty, This drunk won a Pulitzer for lying about the “paradise” in Russia; the Cheka plied him with women and booze and he lied, very effectively in NYT reporting, that there was no famine in Ukraine (8 million+ deliberately and openly starved to death by Stalin); and everyone was just so happy in the new socialist world (the gulags were not mentioned and the people in them not interviewed). The NY Times has never apologized; don’t expect NBC to either. The 1930s were best characterized as “a low, dishonest decade”, sounds like the current times.
> The evening national news is going the way of the Edsel. It simply doesn’t work any longer.
Because:
its no longer unbiased
its propaganda
we’re tired of being lied to
the actual damage it causes from a president who uses it against The People
Brian Liar actually BOWED to Obama.....BOWED!!! OMG...he should have been fired for THAT!
