Brian Williams' claims probed by NBC's investigative unit

Published February 06, 2015 FoxNews.com

NBC News has assigned the head of its own investigative unit to look into statements made by anchor Brian Williams about his reporting in Iraq a dozen years ago.

A source at the network who requested anonymity because the person is not authorized to speak on personnel matters confirmed the investigation on Friday. Williams has apologized for falsely saying on the air that he was in a helicopter hit by a rocket-propelled grenade while in Iraq in 2003.

Richard Esposito, a former editor at the New York Daily News now at NBC, will head the investigation. The incident has ballooned into a full-blown crisis for NBC and Williams, whose "Nightly News" is the top-rated evening news program.

I caught a brief comment on Fox that I think said Williams is taking a leave of absence. Maybe someone else heard that and can verify what I heard is correct.

Far too easy. Self-restraint, don't fail me now.

It's going to take us an especially long time because we newsers don't have much experience investigating anything.

Is this the same investigative unit that vetted obama?

Thanks for that information. We were leaving for church and I didn’t have time to verify.

"Brian Williams' claims probed by NBC's investigative unit"

I guess they will do exhaustive interviews of the hairdressers, makeup staff, camera crews, audio crews, and production administrators that travel with Brian Williams during his RPG blowing, puppies from fires saving, Obama bowing, AK-47 Dodging, sandstorm hunkering, excursions?

The one that gets me the most is when Obama was elected he announced Obama's victory as "America has demonstrated it has finally grown up By electing a president like Obama"

Would that be the same crack investigative unit that produced Dateline NBC's exploding Chevy pickup truck gas tank by strapping incendiary devices to the tank?

“I was raped by Hitler”

So it wasn’t a rocket propelled grenade that brought his helicoptor dawn?

The media has yet to report on Dan Rather’s opinion about this issue.

Yup. Libtards investigating another libtard. Next, he’ll claim he was a CIA agent.
