Brian Williams: 'Im Sorry. I Said Things That Werent True'
by Lisa de Moraes
Im sorry. I said things that werent true. I let down my NBC colleagues and our viewers, and Im determined to earn back their trust, Brian Williams said this morning in a stunning apology that accompanied the networks announcement he is returning to the air but not the NBC Nightly News anchor chair. I will greatly miss working with the team on Nightly News, but I know the broadcast will be in excellent hands with Lester Holt as anchor. I will support him 100% as he has always supported me. I am grateful for the chance to return to covering the news. My new role will allow me to focus on important issues and events in our country and around the world, and I look forward to it.

It is amazing how many millions truly believe what NBC and their “competitors” say.
He will be a perfect fit for MSNBC.
If he said he identifies as Black, he’d still be on NBS
Holt gets a pass.
We all know why.
Anyone else would be fired and kicked out of the business. He just moved to another dept and he still collects 10’s of millions.
Well you have to admit, when NBC lies, they lie with flare.
I bet Williams’ agent and the NBC execs negotiated for weeks, if not months, over exactly what this apology would say and how many times he had to say it, etc.
Hey Bri, I know that "journalists" aren't the brightest bulbs around, but surely seeing your boy Dan Rather go down in flames SHOULD have been a sign?
“Brian is only sorry he was caught.”
Yeah, he’s only really sorry about his cut in pay. He will be missing a big chunk of that $10 million per year he was bringing down in exchange for lying to the country.
3 biggest lies. I’m sorry I lied. I won’t do it again. Promise.
“Finally he admits to being a liar.”
No, actually he didn’t. Where does he say the word “lie” or “liar”? He just says he said things that weren’t true. He doesn’t actually say that he knew they weren’t true when he said them. So he’s still equivocating.
NBC has lied to the public for years!
BUT..no more than CBS, ABC, PBS, ETC, ETC!
He’s sorry he got caught.
Not defending him. Think he lied many times.
My view: Because you are mistaken does not make you a liar. You are simply mistaken in your belief. However, to deliberately misrepresent, to say something you know to be untrue. . .that is a lie.
Is that the rigged car crash from NBC Dateline?
NBC was sued by General Motors for rigging a car to explode during a test demonstration. The news reporter was Stone Phillips.
NBC has a penchant for hiring liars and poseurs.
Hey didn’t al franken write a book about lying liars?
But if a liar is lying, is he really telling the truth?
"....talk to the paw Bentnose...your renegaded to minor leagues foreeeever"
I Said Things That Werent True.
That covers about 90% of the MSM their job is to hype and pimp liberal causes.
