In a lengthy interview with his NBC colleague Matt Lauer, disgraced (and former) NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams blamed his ego for a litany of lies told over many years to NBC News viewers and others. “I was not trying to mislead people,” he said.

Williams made two big mistakes here — in what was probably his last chance at a second chance.
First, he refused to admit that he lied and lied and lied and lied. His claim that he didn’t try to deliberately mislead people is simply preposterous. His real-time whoppers from Katrina (witnessing suicides that didn’t happen, floating dead bodies, roving gangs) had a devastating effect on then-President Bush. There were real world consequences to Williams’ tall tales. It wasn’t all fodder for late night talk shows.
Secondly, Williams refused an opportunity to correct the record on his lies.
I’ve also read that NBC News will not release the results of their own investigation into Williams’ serial lies. .......

Liberals hate traditional Americans so much they'll forgive liar Brian a thousand times over. Liberls' only 'tolerance' is for each other... John Nolte's giving them too much credit.
>>> I’ll bet Brian is stunned his liberal elite bosses would even care that he’s a liar.
Friends of Brian Williams told a tabloid that he felt ‘betrayed’ by NBC and his colleagues. He thought they should openly supported him more.
Almost no one will see him on MSNBC.
