Yahoo News ^ | 2/4 | By Caitlin Dickson

NBC News’ Brian Williams was not, as he has previously claimed, aboard a U.S. Air Force helicopter that was hit by two rockets and grounded during the 2003 Iraq invasion.

In what was surely a moment of vindication for those who were actually aboard the grounded aircraft, the Nightly News anchor admitted Wednesday that the harrowing story he and NBC had been perpetuating since 2003 was false.

“I would not have chosen to make this mistake,” Williams told the military publication Stars and Stripes, Wednesday. “I don’t know what screwed up in my mind that caused me to conflate one aircraft with another.”

Or maybe his parents met at Selma, four years after he was born.

Nope, he exaggerated even then, as shown on Fox News with Bill Hemmer this am but the exaggerations continued until they became more outrageous for “misremembering.”

Brian Williams didn’t report on the lie Hillary put out about being under fire and having to run to safety after getting off a plane. Come to think of it Brian Williams didn’t report on the credible rape charge (according to the FBI) against Bill Clinton either.

Seems the little jerks cover for each other.

Liberal liars covering for each other - what a shock.

Can we assume someone was telling Brian they were going to talk... unless?? Blackmail lite?

No way a liberal will come forward on their own about a lie of this magnitude. He must have been pushed.

Your picture appears to condemn the person pointing out the lie - not the liars. Is that your intent?

When you the face of a network that thrives on not reporting things that happened and reporting things that did not happen to fit it’s liberal narrative it is imperative that you be able to lie on demand!!!!

Ted Baxter has more credibility than Br(L)ian Williams.
