Poor Brian Williams. I actually feel sorry for him, even though it's his own fault.

"During their appeal, FOX asserted that there are no written rules against distorting news in the media. They argued that, under the First Amendment, broadcasters have the right to lie or deliberately distort news reports on public airwaves. Fox attorneys did not dispute Akre’s claim that they pressured her to broadcast a false story, they simply maintained that it was their right to do so. "

Williams is your typical news man with the ego to match. I love when the "unbiased" get caught in their own lies and then backtrack and say things like "I misremembered." That's not even a word. He's a journalist and he's created words now liked "misremembered" - which I suppose is a nicer way of saying, "I lied." I don't doubt that news stations encourage people to make things up on the fly to be news worthy, but when you pretend to have been in life and death situations, it just makes you look pathetic.

Years ago, Patricia Smith was fired from The Boston Globe for making up some of her stories. She never claimed to be in a plane that was being shot at but she made up characters for her editorials (which were outstanding, wonderful writer that she is). Mike Barnicle did the same but Smith's dismissal was swift and public and his lagged... BTW, she admitted her fault without dancing around it, but I guess men are more respectable so we can accept lying for them....personally, if The Globe fired Smith, and eventually fired Barnicle...NBC should fire Williams.

I find it appalling that anyone would even joke around about being beheaded ! I am sure the families that lost their love ones this saw no humor in it!

Not a surprise, suspended six months but not fired.

This is why you don't watch NBC NEWS,ABC NEWS,CBS NEWS,MSNBC or CNN.

Its time to Switch to FOX NEWS CHANNEL. They're Fair and balanced. Bill OReilly is never wrong! Sean Hannity is never wrong, Greta Van Susteren is never wrong. And Shepard Smith is never wrong nether!
NBC,ABC.CBS,CNN & MSNBC ALL LIE!
