Williams was suspended from NBC in February after it emerged he'd lied about being in a helicopter that was shot down in Iraq in 2003
A new report in Vanity Fair claims Williams lied because he felt insecure taking over from beloved anchor Tom Brokaw at the Nightly News
While some execs saw his lying as 'quirks' of his personality, the tales left Brokaw 'incensed' and he ultimately didn't support Williams in February
After he was accused of lying, Williams wondered if he had a brain tumor
But other NBC employees said Williams had always been out of his depth because of his lack of experience and disinterest in 'hard' news

Because Tom Brokaw led such a dashing life.
10 million a year for many years?
Yeah boy!
That will cause a whole lotta insecurity!
Because all the other lying anchors got away with it for so long. Well, except for Cap’n Dan...
All that you have to know about NBC Views (one-time News) is that they only suspended a serial liar. And that only after a big fuss was made.
WTF, did NBCs’ checks bounce?
[ Original headline: Brian Williams ‘started lying because he felt insecure following Tom Brokaw and then blamed it on a possible brain tumor’ ]
Was the brain tumour Tom Brokaw living rent free in william’s head?
I know a lot of libs that have a Sarah Palin derangement syndrome “tumour” living rent free in their heads too...
So which lie is the truth? I cannot keep up.
typical liberal horse crap.
It’s not my fault.
What a phony piece of crap.
Libs be lyin’.
obama blames Bush
Williams blames Brokaw.
he felt insecure taking over from beloved anchor Tom Brokaw at the Nightly News...? FUBW!
So it’s Tom’s fault...
let’s face it, Brokaw was a smoother prevaricator.
I think a strong argument can be made that Brian Williams’ brain IS a tumor.
He started lying when he was wearing short pants. I’m old enough to remember his cheap krap going way back. I knew he was a putz when he explained how his football career was ended when he “blew out” a knee in high school. In his mind he was on his way to being a regular Tom Brady. And BTW-—there’s nothing wrong with his girlyknee-—it’s his head.
The boy did OK. His lies caught up to him but I look at it this was:
He did well for a man with a crooked face telling crooked stories!
Not gonna miss him, no, not gonna miss him at all.
Not that I ever watched the show, after all,it was NBC.
He started lying because he is a Liberal, That is just what Liberal’s do.
LOL!
I am surprised he HASN'T blamed Sarah for all this.
"Fake but accurate" indeed!
