Brian Williams Can’t Stop Lying
New York Post ^ | April 26, 2015 | Laura ItalianoApril 26, 2015

An internal NBC News investigation of Brian Williams has so far turned up 11 instances where the truth-challenged anchor “embellished” details of his reporting adventures, according to a new report.

Previous counts had numbered Williams’ whoppers at a half-dozen.

And just as I post this, Drudge headline: NBC Pressures Williams to Resign

He’s fired, it’s just a matter of getting the lawyers to make sure to do it legally.

He’s done. There never was a chance he would be coming back. NBC already knew when they suspended him that they had enough other instances to fire him. It was just a matter of rolling it out in a way that minimizes the damage to NBC.

One way they do that, and avoid a lawsuit from Brian, is to have his coworkers urge his firing (which they have done, according to a recent article), and then roll out his other infractions a bit at a time. It’s a slow, painful exercise in destroying his reputation to the point where all he can wish for is anonymity.

...and yet MSNBC is still on the air. If anyone at NBC News really cared about lies, they would have pulled the plug on this years ago.

The thing is, more and more people don’t trust the MSM anymore. I certainly don’t. I don’t watch the alphabet news and seldom FOX either.

"Holt is a competent news reader"

Holt is a piece of leftist crap reader, just like little Davie, the arrogant Scott, the insufferable Gwen/Judy/Mark/David on PBS, and all the rest of the fifth-column toilet media, going back to 'Uncle Walter'.

I agree; was merely referring to his ability to read off the teleprompter.

That elites at NBC would even consider putting Williams back in the anchor chair is amazing. Are they nuts?

Must be the same type that would hire Bernie Madoff to run their company based on ‘charm’...

The woman running NBC? Is she the one who wants Williams because she has the ‘protection from having to be competent’ based on what’s between or ‘not between’ her legs?

Must be a horrible place for an honest competent person to work.

He won’t be back, just a matter of crossing T’s and dotting I’s so that legally they can fire him without being sued.

you left one out, don’t believe anything you hear and read and only 1/2 of what you see. My daddy taught me that when I was just old enough to understand, sometime during the 1940’s....

Brian Williams shows up to work at NBC.
He is told he was fired and he says “No I’m not”
