Maybe Lena Dunham can give Brian a role in the raunchy TV show of hers. Maybe she could push the envelope by having Brian and his daughter in a few scenes together. She has some experience in that area, I hear.

Vallely also says the practice of media and politicians exaggerating their experience in war zones is nothing new. He also explains how he has witnessed the media’s bad behavior ever since his service in Vietnam.

Amen to that. I have seen reporting from WWII and the Korean War that shows the media's bad behavior as well.

Don’t forget, this is a network that has Special Ed, Sharpie, Chris Matthews, and that bull dyke. I don’t think Brian Williams is going anywhere.

Sorry. Brian Williams is an Obama minion. He’s not going anywhere.

I think he is gone. It is just not official yet.
Corporate speak below from NBC.

All,
This has been a difficult few days for all of us at NBC News.
Yesterday, Brian and I spoke to the Nightly News team. And this morning at the Editorial Exchange, we both addressed the wider group. Brian apologized once again, and specifically expressed how sorry he is for the impact this has had on all of you and on this proud organization.
As you would expect, we have a team dedicated to gathering the facts to help us make sense of all that has transpired. We’re working on what the best next steps are – and when we have something to communicate we will of course share it with you.
Since joining NBC News, I’ve seen great strength and resilience. We are a close-knit family, and your response this week has made that even clearer.
As a relentless news agenda marches on, thank you again for continuing to do what we do best – bring the most important stories of the day to our audience.

It’s not because he fabricated a story. This is NBC, after all. Remember the Zimmerman tape. It’s not because keeping him would mean they approve of what he did. They do.

It’s because Williams has accidentally shown the nation and the world the true face of the so-called “mainstream” media. He has shown that they really do operate on the principle Dan Rather enunciated to Bill O’Reilly on May 15, 2001: “I believe you can be an honest person and lie about any number of things.”

They cannot allow people to see their true face. So Williams will have to go before people figure out the con that the liberal media has been perpetrating for 60 years or more.

Williams hasn’t done anything that Dan Rather or Walter Cronkite or any of the others didn’t do. It’s just that he (and Rather) did it sloppily and got caught.

i’m no big fan of this williams person but what is the genesis of the revelation of williams’ dishonesty?

i think there is something i missed here- if I can find this out because I’m fairly certain this did not happen by accident it could be tied into something else

any one here to help me out on this else?

The source of this story has never been clear to me.

No one has to watch him. I know no Freeper has watched network news for other than entertainment value in decades. If NBC wants to be fronted by a fabulist, they can do so.
