Biran Williams should've just said "I suffered a lapse of judgement and lied about my helicopter ...

... being attacked. I am sorry, very sorry."


Then he should have resigned. The next morning he would be able to once again look at himself in the mirror, and the always-forgiving American people would have let him move on with his life.

Instead his half-lie confession will result in him being ridiculed for the next decade.



The truth is a powerful healer.

He only wants to collect that fat check, see the world for free and has long convinced himself of his importance.

He's just one more lying moron of a hack.

3. And what are the producers and executives at NBC that actively covered up and promoted the lies going to say?

Brian makes $10,000,000 a year to be willingly propped up as the credible face of corporate produced news. Having such a cover for constant lying and mass brainwashing never comes cheap.

Of course Brian and NBC have never lied about anything else...cough...Iraq....cough....and never will again, pinky swear.

4. This war lie is nothing compared to the ones told by networks that got us into Iraq.

Why Brian felt he had to puff up his war cred, I don't know. But, the playing up of his lapse in truth-telling is part of a RW agenda to steer NBC in the Fox News direction.

6. He should resign, if he does not then if there are any journalists at nbc left

they should resign in protest for allowing him to stay.

He taints all of their reporting now.

Unless the goal of NBC is to become just like Fox.

or embellish it or flat out lie about it. It's too easy to verify.
