You know you’re in trouble when Tom Brokaw is out for your blood.
NBC’s most revered journalist is furious that Brian Williams is still in the anchor chair after he sheepishly admitted he hadn’t traveled on a helicopter hit by enemy fire.
“Brokaw wants Williams’ head on a platter,” an NBC source said. “He is making a lot of noise at NBC that a lesser journalist or producer would have been immediately fired or suspended for a false report.”
On Wednesday, Williams, 55, acknowledged that he had repeatedly said he was aboard a chopper that had been hit by a rocket-propelled grenade during a 2003 reporting trip to Iraq, when he was actually safely traveling in a different aircraft.
Brokaw, 74, was still the “Nightly News” anchor when Williams came back from his Iraq expedition — and an insider said he knew the story Williams later spouted was bunk.
“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,” the source said.
NBC News execs had counseled him to stop telling the tale.

So if this report is correct then the problem is not that "Williams lied", it's about the embarrassment at NBC when the story got out into the open? Yeah, sounds like a liberal attitude.
Pravda policing Pravda?
Impossible comrade!!!
/s/
IMHOl
Except, of course, Rather, who is awarded a prize.
I agree, and Hillary should be barred from seeking any future elective office for concocting a similar false story. Right, Tom?

It’s so funny, for the last month, NBC has been running ads on Brian Williams trust and integrity, with voice of Michael Douglas.
The timing could not be worse.
Just move him into the 8pm MSNBC slot Olbermann Occupied. MSNBC hasn’t had a Congenital liar in that time slot since he left.
A threat from one of their own..
the aging 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litter occupying the nation's mainline news media face total wipeout.
If indeed Brokaw knew, why isn’t he being lampooned and his integrity questioned?
Stalinist vs. Trotskyite power struggle.
These people think that firing a guy that has been lying for ten years will somehow give that network that has been lying for the past 40 years some credibility.
Hate to break it to you Tommy but that train left the station a long time ago.
They fired Janet Cooke and Jayson Blair.
I am absolutely flabbergasted at the brouhaha over Brian Williams lying.
Lying is the norm for the left wing media, most politicians and Hollywood celebrities.
After all Williams’ lie is just one more pebble on a beach of lies.
Broke wants to get the band back together.
RATagandists behaving badly.
LOL and Rather & Lyin’ Williams seem to have the same set of moral deficiencies:
