NBC's Tom Brokaw reportedly wants Brian Williams fired over fabricated Iraq helicopter story
Source w/video: NBCs Tom Brokaw reportedly wants Brian Williams fired over fabricated Iraq helicopter story | Fox News
Longtime "NBC Nightly News" anchor Tom Brokaw reportedly wants his successor, Brian Williams, thrown out of the big chair after he admitted fabricating key portions of a story he repeatedly told about his reporting experience during the Iraq War in 2003.
The New York Post, citing sources at the network, reported that Brokaw, 74, has been "making a lot of noise at NBC that a lesser journalist or producer would have been immediately fired or suspended for a false report." . . . . . .
I bet you never padded your resume in the slightest way.
Right. Because that is surely the same as lying to a national audience on tv while claiming to be a person that tells America the news. ((rolls eyes))

That happens when they cannot be confirmed. Sometimes moving targets are wounded but will probably die depending on where they were hit. Chuck Mawhinney for example has 103 confirmed and 216 probable in Vietnam. It's pretty standard to have a confirmed number and a probable number.

Inventory time.
Our current Secretary of State once testified against the US military, and our former Secretary of State told the exact same lie of taking on fire that NBC's lead anchor just told.
What kind of people are we listening to?
Oh? What stories did Kyle fabricate?
Apparently this type of people....
Well the digging has begun.
What has been given short shrift are the soldiers that reported this years ago. If I recall correctly, just after the fabricated event, many left messages with reporters on the ground stating what actually happened. Nothing was heard from a herd of reporters. Makes a man wonder now why squat was mentioned by these journalists?

By Friday, the issue had drawn a frenzy of online criticism, with other statements by Mr. Williams drawing close scrutiny. Some blogs and media outlets questioned Mr. Williams’s description of what he saw while reporting on Hurricane Katrina, during which he described seeing a body floating down the street from his hotel window in the French Quarter. At the time, some news organizations had reported that the French Quarter was not flooded.

Mr. Williams first reported on the episode when it happened in 2003, though the current controversy erupted last week after he spoke about it on air during a tribute to a retired soldier.

This supposedly happened over 10 years ago. Who's complaining about it now?
I recall reading that after his report of this fabricated event in 03, soldiers who were there left messages with a number of reporters- No one approached or asked for more information. Appears it was known then and there. If this is the case, why was he not challenged on it then.
Exactly! I wonder who wants his job?
You cannot "misremember" such an event.
Correct. And who the hell even says "misremember". LOL! Williams is an idiot.
A court case found that he had to pay 1 million dollars to Jesse Ventura for saying he once knocked him out. Also, to date there is no evidence supporting his story that he once killed two men after returning from overseas who he says tried to carjack him. There might be more, but those are the ones that I read about. Still, he was a good guy from everything I have read. As for Williams, I don't know what to say about that. I guess I just don't have high expectations from journalists to begin with.
