If the troll formerly known as Hillary can survive dodging sniper fire, he'll survive this. It'll be nice when he has a chance to interview her during her campaign, so that they can exchange war stories.

Swift vote scandal cost him the election. What do all these clowns have in common........<(

Williams is/was supposed to be one of the prezzynenchul debate moderators.
I don't see that happening now. I don't see him keeping his job...how could he?

Did you know Brian once saved a puppy from a burning house? It's twue, it's twue. It was when he was a volunteer firefighter and I'll let him tell it.. "..the structure was fully involved with flames and smoke. I was wearing a breathing apparutus, conducting a search on my hands and knees, when I felt something warm, squishy and furry on the floor of a closet. I instinctively tucked it in my coat. When I got outside, I saw two small eyes staring up at me, and I returned the three-week-old (and very scared) puppy to its grateful owners. I miss fighting fires every day." I'll bet he does. LMAO....You sure it wasn't a Possum?

It's much cooler to have been on the ship that was hit and not on the ship that was 30 minutes behind. Looking forward to the next guest appearance on Letterman. Maybe he'll show Letterman his RPG scars.

If you want lies turn the channel from NBC to Faux News. Faux News mostly false reports

I actually like the guy. Smart and extremely funny. He let his stupid shine (thanks Toff) and got caught.
Maybe his mea culpa will get him a pass....maybe not.

I figured Brian put the word out about his 'misremembering' as part of his qualifications to move to Faux news. However, a second thought is that I am of the same opinion as SZ.

Steelheadman
I perused your link and I am not surprised to find that you equate what PolitiFact classified as false statements,(many of which were made by guests that were either being interviewed or in opinion pieces), as being equivalent to outright lies made by a 'reporter'.
If you were to actually care about accuracy in the media you might try actually reading the article that you linked to,and then giving the PolitiFacts claims an honest assessment.
You could also read the Wikipedia article on PolitFact and check out the history of their Lies of the year. You might find some food for thought.

He needs to be fired or resign - and that will happen in some form or another. Good. Besides the habitual lying, Stolen Valor is really, really low.

I heard Jon Stewart is quitting his show and I was hoping he would take Bri's place. The faces he could have made between newz items would have been gold.
I still think NBC News would be better as Huey Lewis and the News...or maybe Huey, Dewey and Louie Present the News. Do you believe Bill O'Reilly the Cult Leader of Faux News was with Lee Harvey Oswald's buddy when he killed himself , O'Reilly The Liar

Why would anybody trust anything from the media? Not me, unbiased media is DEAD! Pretty sad, the freedom of press is one of the most important things we have in this country, but how can you believe anything that comes out of their mouths. Very sad and dangerous at the same time.

I don't know anything about it and your link doesn't work for me.
In any case, what does it have to do with Williams and his tall tales? Hank, its been going on for about a month now, Orielly said he was in a "war zone" in the Falklands in the early 80s, and a ton of colleagues that were there with him, said it wasnt a war zone, it was the opposite of what he said it was.... i believe even old CBS exec's said the same thing too... Mother Jones is a news agency that went after him after Orielly opened his fat ass mouth about the Williams stuff on TV.... oh, and now old Bill is PISSED....
