NBC's Brian Williams

[finnbow]

NBC News anchor Brian Williams conceded on Wednesday that a story he had told about being under fire while covering the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was false.

Williams said he was not aboard a helicopter that was hit by enemy fire and forced down — a story he retold as recently as last week during a televised tribute to a retired soldier during a New York Rangers hockey game.

It appears he was outed by a Stars and Stripes reporter.

I have no sympathy for reporters trying to make themselves the story, nor do I care for the notion of TV anchormen (or women) as celebrities. Just give me the unadulterated news without cutesy commentary, flashing the pearly whites, or eye-rolling, please.

NBC should dump him forthwith IMO.
