Brian Williams thought brain tumor may be behind tall tales, report says
Fox News/NY Post ^ | 4-7-15

Embattled news anchor Brian Williams couldn’t bring himself to admit he lied about coming under fire on a chopper in Iraq — so he instead wondered aloud if he had a brain tumor, a new report claims.

Several NBC News insiders told Vanity Fair that the fact-challenged Williams — who was suspended without pay for six months from his “Nightly News” gig — had trouble explaining what had happened.

“(He said,) ‘Did something happen to (my) head? Maybe I had a brain tumor, or something in my head,’” a source told the magazine in its upcoming piece. “He just didn’t know. We just didn’t know. We had no clear sense what had happened. We got the best (apology) we could get.”

In the aftermath of the scandal, people at NBC News have repeatedly cited Williams’ penchant for bureaucratic infighting and his limited interest in “heavy” news, the piece says.

“Brian has very little interest in politics,” one insider told the magazine. “It’s not in his blood. What Brian cares about is logistics, the weather, and planes and trains and helicopters.”

If Brian Williams was a golfer he’d be penalized two strokes for improving his lie.

This report of a suddenly-cured brain tumor
making LIARS lie, would be a good story
for tonight’s NBC “News”.

Brian Williams : Pink Floyd “ the lunatic is in my head “...

Naaa Brian, it just can’t be, it just can’t be because the main stream media lies to the American people every day.
Still can’t admit to reality.

I wonder if Obama will use that excuse too. “I didn’t mean to destroy America as a free country. I was just trying to fundamentally change it from a free and prosperous country to something else.” It would be a lie, but many would believe him. Besides, it’s intentions that count, not results, as we saw with month after month of unexpectedly negative economic news where, “despite” Obama’s socialist policies, the recession and low employment continued.

If that is true then all the reporters at NBC have a brain tumor.
