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.

Nbc has an investigative unit? Shouldn’t that be the news department?

Brian Williams' claims probed by NBC's investigative unit He's being probed by a unit. So NBC's hard news division has decided to go the way of most of their prime time "entertainment" fare, eh?

What I want to know is why Hillary gets a pass?
She is a far worse pathological liar than Lyin' Williams.
Hillary Clinton's List of Lies
Admitted Lies
- Chelsea was jogging around the Trade Center on Sept. 11, 2001. (She was in bed watching it on TV.)
- Hillary was named after Sir Edmund Hillary. (She admitted she was wrong. He climbed Mt. Everest five years after her birth.)
- She was under sniper fire in Bosnia. (A girl presented her with flowers at the foot of the ramp.)
- She learned in The Wall Street Journal how to make a killing in the futures market. (It didn't cover the market back then.)
Whoppers She Won't Confess To
- She didn't know about the FALN pardons.
- She didn't know that her brothers were being paid to get pardons that Clinton granted.
- Taking the White House gifts was a clerical error.
- She didn't know that her staff would fire the travel office staff after she told them to do so.
- She didn't know that the Peter Paul fundraiser in Hollywood in 2000 cost $700,000 more than she reported it had.
- She opposed NAFTA at the time.
- She was instrumental in the Irish peace process.
- She urged Bill to intervene in Rwanda.
- She played a role in the '90s economic recovery.
- The billing records showed up on their own.
- She thought Bill was innocent when the Monica scandal broke.
- She was always a Yankees fan.
- She had nothing to do with the New Square Hasidic pardons (after they voted for her 1,400-12 and she attended a meeting at the White House about the pardons).
- She negotiated for the release of refugees in Macedonia (who were released the day before she got there).

Probe? What for? Just give the job to Katie Couric. She wants it and has already been probed up the wazoo and came up clean. Even had it televised.

I still do not understand why every one has their panties in a wad over Brian Williams lying.
I have been watching and hearing these lies going back to Walters’s Crankycase in the 60’s. Same schitt. different day.
In my humble opinion, the last newsman on TV I trusted was Chet Huntley.

Brian Williams, NBC news anchor will now be known as the NBC ‘nose’ anchor to honor that famous story teller, ‘pinocchio’.

Libs have a lot in common with muzzies. Lying to, and about, your enemies is acceptable.
