"NBC Nightly News" anchorman Brian Williams frequently fabricated a dramatic story that he was under enemy attack while reporting from Iraq. NBC is now investigating whether Williams also embellished events in New Orleans during his reporting on Hurricane Katrina.
Williams always plays the hero in his yarns, braving natural and hostile human enemies to deliver us the truth on the evening news.
Former CBS anchorman Dan Rather tried to pass off fake memos as authentic evidence about former President George W. Bush's supposedly checkered National Guard record.
CNN news host Fareed Zakaria, who recently interviewed President Obama, was caught using the written work of others as if it were his own. He joins a distinguished array of accused plagiarists, from historian Doris Kearns Goodwin to columnist Maureen Dowd.
Usually, plagiarism is excused. Research assistants are blamed or clerical slips are cited -- and little happens. In lieu of admitting deliberate dishonesty, our celebrities when caught prefer using the wishy-washy prefix "mis-" to downplay a supposed accident -- as in misremembering, misstating or misconstruing.

Heck...Joe Biden lifted his stump speech from British pinko Neil Kinnock.
It becomes problematic when you don’t even bother to ‘lie’ to your Katrina NBC Nightly News Diary.
It shows a selfish non-dedication to the BIG LIE of progressive activism Williams has so faithfully undertaken during his tenure as the HMFWIC at NBC News On-Air Talent.
In short, he put personal aggrandizement above his zombie loyalist progressive allegiance to the BIG LIE. THAT is what NBC execs are pissed at. Sloppiness.

Brian williams skewed his reports to make Bush look bad. What’s the difference.
Hell I saw obama with a bone through his nose dancing around a fire in kenya with the rest of his tribe on his prayer rug making the most beautiful noise he’s ever heard with reggies love up his backside.
Run with it, it’s news.
Agreed. If NBC doesn’t fire his a$$, the network’s news will go into a death spiral. If they fire him, at least they have a chance at winning some viewers back. When you trust someone to provide you with the truth and they are subsequently proved to be a liar, it takes more than a suspension and time to repair the damage. If I were an advertiser, I’d look elsewhere, as there are a lot of people like me who refuse to watch until I see how management tries to win me back.
In the picture above, why does the piece of bacon have the egg bent over? I am certain Moochelle disapproves.
NBC is now investigating his expense accounts. Sounds like they’re looking for an excuse...
I don’t understand the connection of that photo to the story.
Frankly, there is absolutely NO reason to trust anything any three letter news organization (on-air) says at all. They are all infected and infested with liberals whose educations, impartiality and intelligence are sorely suspect.
Excuse for what?
Ha! So HIS personal little lie jeopardized THEIR big lie!
It’s a photo of the arrogant, lying pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
An excuse to summarily fire him before the six-month suspension is up.
IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS SYSTEM WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN'T PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE.
ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, National Security Adviser.
CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama's Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Whitehouse Press Secretary Jay Carney
ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama's Deputy Press Secretary
ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama's Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood
CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton's Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.
And now you know why it is no surprise the media usually goes very easy on Obama's many errors.
Ya think there might be a little bias in the news?
“You’re fired”!
Brian Williams was actually thinking ahead when he lied about his own heroics. He was bidding for a chance at being Hillary's running mate.

On the other hand at least they suspended him without pay
” Heck...Joe Biden lifted his stump speech from British pinko Neil Kinnock.”
