Well, he's lucky he didn't get his ass fired.
Saying what we're all thinking!!
NBC announced today that "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams has been suspended for 6 months without pay after lying about events that took place in 2003.
Williams said on air, January 30th of this year, that the helicopter he was in while covering the Iraq war back in 2003 was shot down. The NBC statement made by president Deborah Turness didn't hod back from blasting Brian for his actions:
“We have decided to today to suspend Brian Williams….for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately. We let Brian know of our decision earlier today. Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News.”
“While on Nightly News on Friday, January 30, 2015, Brian misrepresented events which occurred while he was covering the Iraq War in 2003. It then became clear that on other occasions Brian had done the same while telling that story in other venues. This was wrong and completely inappropriate for someone in Brian’s position.
“In addition, we have concerns about comments that occurred outside NBC News while Brian was talking about his experiences in the field.”
Williams had previously announced that he was taking some time off in the wake of his lies.
Are you guys surprised Brian was only suspended and not fired?
