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 NBCs 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 Regiments 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.

This reminds me of that old Marine, Dan Rather. (or was he in the Army).
"One does not simply disremember."
.
True Lies, just like Dan Rather.
This is just as bad as wearing medals, badges, and ribbons that were not earned (sKERRY?)
Liberals are all the same.
If it makes them feel superior, it must be OK.
.
Yeah, Bryan, shooting down Richthofen over San Juan Hill was “seared into my memory” too. Did I tell you about the time me and Billy Mitchell took off from the deck of the Bismark to bomb Carthage?
I think he meant to say he Hillaried the event.
Perhaps but it’s true I swear.
Exactly
That’s as twisted of a tale like another famous MSM LIAR, Dan Rather.
I wish I could Misremember a few things
Williams just got confused. He was in that plane with Hillary that had to spiral to a landing because it was under fire.
Heroes.
Just ask them and they will tell you.
You know, “misremembered” as when Joe Biden thought the life story of a Welsh miner was his until someone pointed out the error. Brian’s “misremembering” should be punished with the same vigor as those who falsely claim military honors and service.
The Left in general enjoys a good Big Lie.
bttt
Right, Chevy. Thanks for the correction.
Have you seen the creepy ad where he describes his show (in which he basically says he is a news filter for the American people, and watching him is part of being a good citizen)?
Very disturbing; it appears when we go into the “On Demand” menu but haven’t selected anything yet.
.
And remember, this is the same Brian Williams that declared Judge Roy Moore to be a scoundrel for displaying the ten commandments in his court room.
.
Similar to how Hillary was “under sniper fire” upon exiting a helicopter in Bosnia - except she wasn’t.
The video at that link is well worth watching as a refresher.
And see my previous post.
