rohaan: I am hearing so much schlopp about this. What's the skinny, CS pals? (Tell me from the get-go, please)
hi rohaan
short version.... he lied....
he was in a helicopter that arrived after other helicopters had been under fire, one of them getting hit. over a period of years, he embellished it...changing it gradually... from being in a helicopter later to being there to being in the copter that got hit.
years later (now).....he confessed that he wasn't on the helicopter that got hit...and told the truth.
so now... he's gonna get punished for coming clean and telling the truth..
brian williams is required to know that in his line of work one doesn’t embellish the FACTS of a story.
your career is now forever tainted… nice job there brian
the inquiry into what has taken place will be a farce as it’s being conducted internally at nbc rather than externally where some credibility might be established.
he should step down PERMANENTLY. and give lester holt a chance to shine.

"he should step down PERMANENTLY. and give lester holt a chance to shine"
That's bullsheet.
You think he should step down to give someone else a chance at being the anchor...not because you think he did something wrong???
Anyone who has never remembered something incorrectly please stand up
We all get confused, we all have days when our minds are like a box of jumping beans
The pilot who said that Brian wasn't in the helicopter has now questioned HIS memory. Take a look at this please.

there is no place in the high stakes game of credible news reporting for inflated egos such that brian williams suffers from.
you have choosen to believe his story of “oh it slipped my mind” and display your gullibleness.
if you care to know what I think he did wrong re-read sentence one of my original post.
