Williams destroyed his credibility and his career with outlandish false hoods and bald faced lies. Good day to you sir. Go away and stay away.

I have no idea how NBC will investigate independently. Please post if you can add to how that might be done.

Is this the beginning of the end for Brian Williams Anchoring and Reporting News? Will people question everything he says, given the "mis-remembered" info on Katrina as well?

They need time to spin this in the least damaging way, so don't believe for a minute a real investigation and it's full results will be revealed to the public.

If Geraldo Rivera had a career after the Al Capone vault crap, why shouldn't Williams. Reporters do have facts messed up sometimes. I mean the media played the whole does vaccines cause autism debate for several years, long enough to turn Disneyland into a ghost town because they had patient zero for the current outbreak. The lie is wrong, no question but we don't go after many reporters when they post lies the way Williams is. To me, it's the same as Syracuse bowing out of the post-season tournaments this season.

NBC doesn't mind liars. Their news is all about lies of omission and occasionally outright lies to support the corporate and liberal political class of the USA. And they knew about Williams for years. What they can't tolerate are liars that get caught by the pubic. This is what has happened to the liar in chief, Brian Williams.

People expecting real & relevant news need to look somewhere else than NBC and their byproducts MSNBC & CNBC.

The posts on twitter, Facebook, etc are the death knell of his career. There are 'photos' of him standing next to Lincoln and Grant in a Civil War photo, at the Last Supper, etc. when you become this much of a laughing stock, and are NOT a politician, but a reporter, then his career is over.

As to Geraldo, he is a 'contributor' on Fox, not a primary reporter or commentator. He fills a demographic slot.

It's very sad that a demographic slot for Geraldo even exists.

Exactly.

Now, what did I post on the other thread about this? *Sigh*

Look, the guy's a liar with a capital L. The instances dug up prove it. He even adds to his lies as interviewers follow up, in awe, as he relates his concocted experience. David Letterman: So did they hit your helicopter?! (Williams: Yes...) Alec Baldwin: You must have feared for your life (Williams: I did).

And for this he gives himself a vacation? What a guy.
