How in the world did NBC News let its biggest star and face of its division run around America for more than ten years telling stolen valor lies, lie-lies, whoppers, white lies, exaggerations, and — if you want to be charitable — embellishments.

Brian Williams didn’t just spew bald-faced lies from David Letterman’s couch. He lied repeatedly on the air at NBC News and its affiliates. He lied to NBC News legend Tim Russert. Stories Williams’ shared with NBC’s own Tom Brokaw both on the air and at Columbia Journalism school are now disputed. Things told to other reporters don’t add up.

Numerous accounts now verify that NBC News not only wanted Brian Williams out there building his brand with the likes of Jon Stewart, David Letterman, and Saturday Night Live, but that the NBC brass knew their star was a serial liar.

...

Apparently, as long as Brian Williams’ lies helped build the NBC News brand and the “Nightly News” ratings, nobody in charge chose to say anything. Now that he’s been caught, NBC News is finally taking action while telling what looks like a big fat lie of its own — the lie that NBC News didn’t know about this the whole time.

Below is a list of the things Williams has said over the years that are either proven lies, suspected lies, disputed by on-the-record eye witnesses, or contradicted by Williams himself. I lost count after 30. And I probably missed a few.

As Howard Smith observed toward the end of his long career, celebrity is replacing history. Without truth all is fable. We cannot win with fable. That’s why they need to grab control of the Internet. If they do we are doomed and fiction will become an enforceable lie which we will be compelled to call truth.

...It’s made of a material most people haven’t seen or held in their hands.”

Sez Lyin Brian Williams, speaking of a piece of the aircraft he was on that was shot down...a lie, of course, which we now know.

However, I think a hell of a lot of people have held a piece of aluminum in their hands.

This guy went to such heights of lies, George Costanza awarded him the "Art VanDelay Order of the Whopper".

Worthless frickin' idiot.

Did you know that Brian Williams was part of the original cast of of Saturday Night Live back in 1975?

Yes, he hung out and partied with Belushi, Radner, Aykroyd and Chevy Chase!

While I have enjoyed the schadenfreude at Williams expense, it’s time to move into “Brian who?” territory.

A pox on him and all NBC Narrative readers. They have betrayed the public trust, they next belong in the ash heap of history, with good riddance.

Bruce Wayne, Brian Williams, BW, OMG Brian Wiliams is Batman!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I remember HKS on ABC.

I recall him leading with the story of some internet virus...he made out like the whole country had denial of service. I hadn’t had any trouble that day.

I'm afraid the only option is to round up the entire staff at NBC and transport them to the nearest ISIS camp for remedial training. Heh, heh...heh, heh...
