• Fallen NBC News Anchor Brian Williams Lied On-Air on Numerous Occasions

    Brian Williams is already about ten weeks into his six-month suspension from NBC News and from the sounds of things, it's pretty unlikely that he will be returning to the anchor desk that made him a household name. While his embellishment over a story about a helicopter ride years ago got him into hot water, it's NBC's internal investigation of Williams' reporting that may end up being a total career killer. Richard Esposito is leading a team of at least five other NBC journalists and their digging into Williams supposed escapades has uncovered a serious pattern of lying.
  • Rosie O'Donnell Calls Brian Williams 'Liar' While Presenting Award to HBO Honcho

    The story about Brian Williams admitting that he "misremembered" whether or not he was in a chopper hit by a grenade in Iraq in 2003 has taken on a life of its own in recent days, hasn't it? Not only is that one account being disputed, but apparently Williams has enjoyed painting himself as a hero quite often, so NBC News is looking into many of the reports he has filed to fact check him. In the meantime, the "NBC Nightly News" anchor has willingly opted to take an open-ended leave of absence, according to CNN, but the longer he is gone, the worse it will look for his future with the network. Everyone has been weighing in on Williams becoming part of the news, including fellow headline-grabber Rosie O'Donnell, who called him a "liar" while presenting an award to an HBO honcho.
