Will Brian Williams Get Away With 'Misremembering' a War Story? Well, Hillary Clinton Did.
Reason.com ^ | 02/04/2015 | Jesse Walker

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton said on [March 25, 2008, that] she made a mistake when she claimed she had come under sniper fire during a trip to Bosnia in 1996 while she was first lady.

In a speech in Washington and in several interviews last week Clinton described how she and her daughter, Chelsea, ran for cover under hostile fire shortly after her plane landed in Tuzla, Bosnia.

Several news outlets disputed the claim, and a video of the trip showed Clinton walking from the plane, accompanied by her daughter. . .

"I did make a mistake in talking about it, you know, the last time and recently," Clinton told reporters in Pennsylvania where she was campaigning before the state's April 22 primary. She said she had a "different memory" about the landing.

His job requires people trust him. Hillary’s never been trusted by anyone.

Would Sarah Palin get away with “misremembering” anything?

How about Scott Walker?

Rush Limbaugh?

Mark Levin?

It seems that you have to be a narcissist to do this. There are so many stories like this too that I wonder this: Is narcissism an advantage to advance in certain areas of life? It sure looks like it to me.

Liberals sure have a lot of bad memories...

Being named after Mt. Everest Climber Hilary (before he climbed Everest)
Remembering racist church fires in Arkansas
Memories of serving in Cambodia
Memories of your Native American Heritage

He misremembered a lot of times. The Letterman interview is pretty damning.

I don't see how his fib would save his job, even if anyone believes it. Newscasters to do their jobs cannot be "mis-remembering" things.

Scooter Libby didn’t get away with “misremembering”.

He’s toast...NBC already has a trust problem as it is. They can’t afford to have his face on their nightly news anymore after this.

I just listened to Clinton detailing her fake account on Rush and when compared to William’s lie they are very similar to the point that it is scripted.

It does not matter to the RAT voters. They believe what they WANT to believe as they wander through their faux world of utopianism. As long as the welfare checks and food stamps keep coming....and they get their daily dose of lies from the leftist MSM.

lol. You think NBC cares about who trusts them? Their audience is dumber than a hair dryer in a bathtub. The folks that watch NBC and MSNBC simply don't know any better. They are precisely the gullible clowns that liberal seek to take advantage of. Al Sharpton could rape Brian William's husband and it would probably help their ratings. But for sure, nobody would get fired.

Learned it from the best......those that came B4 him.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-richard-blumenthal-lie-about-serving-in-vietnam/

For the LIEberals a *LIE* is *misremembering*....is a lie. And those who should be watching and listening and reporting the lies should be ashamed of themselves.

Williasm Safire must be doing cartwheels in his grave with the way LIEberals perverse the language.

Hillary is an angry America-hating Marxist feminazi who wants to be president. What’s his excuse?

Maybe he spent Christmas in Cambodia with John Kerry (who served in the Vietnam war on both sides no less). This is standard operating procedure.
