NBC News anchor Brian Williams' 2006 claim that he saw a dead body float past his hotel window during Hurricane Katrina is drawing fresh skepticism in the wake of his own admission on Wednesday that he lied about being aboard a helicopter that was hit by enemy fire during the Iraq war.
Despite a swift apology on his Nightly News program, Williams is at the center of a media firestorm after it emerged that his old war story that he has retold numerous times over the past 12 years has become increasingly exaggerated.
Williams was forced to apologize this week after claiming in a report on Friday that the chinook he was aboard in Iraq had been hit by enemy fire.....
.....In the wake of the scandal over William's war story apology, attention is now turning to comments he made about what exactly he witnessed in New Orleans in the aftermath of Katrina.
'When you look out of your hotel room window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by face down, when you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country...I beat that storm. I was there before it arrived.
'I rode it out with people who later died in the Superdome,' he said in an interview in 2006, just a year after the hurricane.
According to the New Orleans Advocate, Williams claim isn't accurate as the French Quarter of the city one of the highest parts of the city was never flooded.
The Advocate has also taken Williams to task over another Katrina-related claim that he made in an interview last year with her (sic) predecessor Brokaw.....

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!!! I STILL LAUGH when I think about that seen of that stupid chick reporter sitting in that canoe when two men walk past her in the 5 inches of water! HILLARIOUS!!!!!
What?? His daughter does PORN?? Come on.
All of the Fourth Estate is a Fifth Column.
I think ANYTHING could have happened in the Super Dome!! But I never heard that Shep reported cannibalism.
Brian Williams works for Comcast, the official Democrat propaganda machine.
Like Al Sharpton who also gets money laundered through a Comcast propaganda outlet, MSNBC, Brian is protected and untouchable
Never forget what N.B.C. did to George Zimmerman.
I give an exemption to much (not all) at Fox.
Comcaast must be destroyed....... it is our enemy, worse and more dangerous than ISIL or Al Qaeda
The reporter could have explained that by saying she just witnessed Jesus and his twin brother arriving at the scene.
That was Matt Lauer who sat in on his daughter’s porn shoot. I have no sympathy for Williams, but if we’re going to criticize him for, “misremembering” something, we should be a little more scrupulous about keeping our facts straight.
Anyone who relies only on the Evening 'News' for their news should not be allowed to vote. They are ignorant LIV to the max.
Brokaw wants him fired to shut him up from further lies being uncovered which makes Brokaw an accomplice to the deceit.
In the MSM, the anchors are paid to lie,
receive raises when the lie,
and encourage others to lie to protect them.
This MSM, the puppets of Obola the Undocumented,
are a curse on America, Freedom and Truth.
I recall right after Katrina, I saw a FANTASTIC photo-documentary on the internet taken by a student from Columbia who lived and attended college in NOLA.
This kid and his friends rode out the storm and stayed in their high rise for a day or two before starting a journey to the superdome. He had pics and detailed captions for everything he witnessed. It would have made a fantastic picture book.
He showed pics of the so called prime-time “journalists” doing their news stories and said he heard them BLATANTLY LYING about what was going on! It seems like BW was one of the journalists.
This kid said he had aspired to be a photo-journalist up to that point, but was immediately disgusted with what he saw playing out. He managed to snap pics of the super-dome from a distance and realized it was NOT where they needed to be. Somehow they managed to get out of NOLA without having to be rescued by the military.
This was the best photo documentary I saw of Katrina and strangely, it was up for only a day and disappeared off the internet. I still wonder what happened to it. It was on Flickr.
LOL!
Forgot about that one!
Fodder for Rush!!!
This is HYSTERICAL. It’s like a professor that plagiarizes - you have to go back and carefully review all his publications...
Brian williams daughter just did an explicit sex scene for an HBO show and he proudly watched it.
OMG...Matt Lauer;s daughter does PORN??? YUK!
Their daddies taught them everything they know.
Brian Williams Reacts to His Daughters Anilingus Scene in Last Nights Girls
January 12th, 2015
EXCERPT
In advance of the episode, Vulture had a reaction from Allisons father, NBC newsman Brian Williams, who gave pretty much the same answer he does every time his daughter is involved in a sex scene:
Shes always been an actress. For us, watching her is the family occupation and everybody has to remember its acting, no animals were harmed during the filming, and ideally nobody gets hurt.
