NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams admitted Wednesday he was not aboard a helicopter hit and forced down by RPG fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a false claim that has been repeated by the network for years.
Williams himself repeated the claim Friday during NBC’s coverage of a public tribute at a New York Rangers hockey game for a retired soldier that had provided ground security for the grounded helicopters. In an interview with Stars and Stripes, he said he had misremembered the events and was sorry.
The admission came after crew members on the 159th Aviation Regiment’s Chinook that was hit by two rockets and small arms fire told Stars and Stripes that the NBC anchor was nowhere near that aircraft or two other Chinooks flying in the formation that took fire. Williams arrived in the area about an hour later on another helicopter after the other three had made an emergency landing, the crew members said.

Misremembered = lied.
Has journalism ever been an honorable profession?
...admitted Wednesday he was not aboard a helicopter hit and forced down by RPG fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, a false claim that has been repeated by the network for years... he said he had misremembered the events and was sorry.Misremembering is something like, I was wearing a striped shirt, no, wait, now that I've thought about it for years, it was plaid. He's just a liar.
Hey, Brian...I know what happened. You realized you were a insignificant, worthless scum of a person and that your life had no redeeming value...so you lied in order to make you feel better about yourself and you got busted.
“In an interview with Stars and Stripes, he said he had misremembered the events”
Right. I keep “misremembering” where I placed my medal of honor.
This would have been a life threatening event. You don’t forget the smallest detail of those.
He’s a liar.
What is it with the Left? Do they have no concept of honor?
Stupid question. The answer is obviously no.
Moral relativism. If you feel good about yourself, that’s all that matters.
Okay, well it isn’t is it. The truth matters.
Good character matters.
Stolen Valor Civilian Puke.
Brian Twistedface a liar ?
Most certainly.
no...he said he made a mistake</s off>
he should be flat out fired for this...period.
Stolen Valor, clear and simple.
Fake but accurate?
It is a word commonly used by liberals when they are caught out in a lie about something they said, did, or experienced in the past.

Brian williams, Liar.
Gosh I’m shocked, I thought he was a pillar of Troof.

Wait, was this during Christmas with John Kerry in a swift boat below him?
Anchor lying, utter fascination with next week’s
possible weather, and treason for their Impostor
is how NBC will be remembered.
That’s cold, very funny, but cold.
Must be the angst of “snipper fire”.
It was a Chevy pickup with gas tank mounted outside the frame rail. Ford gas tanks were mounted inside the frame.
However you are right it was a rigged report.
I’m just shocked that a flaming commie would lie, and lie big, and on national TV which is watched by maybe 100s.
