BREAKING: Brian Williams’s Replacement Lester Holt Falsely Claims He Flew 9 Gs, “Had Bombs Fall Around Him” in NBC Post… Gotnews.com has confirmed that embattled NBC anchor Brian Williams’s replacement, Lester Holt, has also exaggerated his past exploits.

In an October 2006 blog post for NBC News Holt described conquering his fear of snakes and how he wasn’t afraid of doing dangerous things.

“I am not a whimp [sic]. I have done stories dangling 90 floors above Chicago in a window-washing rig on the Sears Tower. I have pulled 9-Gs and done loops and rolls with the Thunderbirds and Blue Angles. Heck, I had bombs falling around me in Lebanon a few months ago,” Holt wrote.

Even that Dude Rachel Maddow also claims to be a Woman....

Sounds like anything with “NBC” in it’s name mean it will blatantly lie.

Now that another NBC newsreader is under fire my guess is the other networks are gonna be on edge as people are going to start scrutinizing all on-air news reports and public statements made byScott Pelley at CBS and David Muir at ABC during their stints as correspondents in the field. This thing is going viral and it’s nice to see the MSM being exposed as the frauds they are. Happy hunting news sleuths because I have a feeling Mr. Muir and Mr. Pelley probably stretched the truth in some of their reporting too.

Maybe they lied their way to the top and lose their sense of right and wrong. Plus, think of all the Obama lies they have covered up over the years. They become whacky human beings.

It should be called the Goofy News with Goofy Anchors and Goofy Reporters! It is not very true with its goofy spin.

We remember him mostly for announcing wrestling and roller derby but he had a long and varied career. lately a local oldies station has been airing old Boston Blackie movies and until I read his Wikipedia page I never recognized that he acted in fourteen of them.

Muir was jazzin’ Maureen Greene at WTVH-5 while the later’s husband was suffering with cancer.

A real piece of work...that one.

Can’t wait to see what Scott Pelley has in his past. He comes across as the biggest jerk among all the network anchors.

Couple of months ago my female companion pointed out something very obvious while watching ol Lester on Dateline. Since then I have noticed that he is usually shown only from the waist up. Guess some more people noticed it also.

If he flew with the Thunderbirds there is not much doubt he pulled 9 g’s. It a unique capability of the f16 and part of the media ride. They even give a 9g pin out.
I was flying an F-16 once when the computer that is supposed to limit the g load to 9 decided to not work. I pulled over 10g’s that day. As far as I know, that’s the record!

Maybe since lying about the news is part of their job, they also think lying about their personal lives is also part of their job.

Here is a real one… they are few and far between.
