NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams caught out in huge lie

Funny to see all the conspiracy theory bashers coming out saying that they also don't trust the mainstream press to actually report anything truthfully. Wonder why?

State TV only give the government line (BBC is the worst of the worst like this with people still believing the biggest lie of all that they are "impartial"). Governments and politicians all sponsored by big corporations and the elite, especially in the US, and all corporations are sponsored by the big banks so no matter if they are big business or banker sponsored, they do what the banks and uber rich want them to do, and the state media reports this point of view.

The "independent" media are funded by corporations including banks and are owned by the uber rich as well. They therefore will only show what this group of people want showing.

How they say in Thailand - same same message with the only difference being which colour flag they fly which doesn't matter because the blue and red flags are all owned by the same people who own the media and politicians.

So again - why be shocked when one of these propaganda repeaters are caught lying? Its their job to lie so you gullible fools follow the corporate line.

Saps.

One journalist exaggerates a bit , says he was in a helicopter that got shot down, whereas in fact he was in another helicopter that didnt get shot down .
His exaggeration was shown to be incorrect . And he admitted the incorrectness .
That doesnt show that all journalist are liars and everything they write is a lie .
It shows that when journalist do exaggerate, they are caught out , so most other things they write are generally true .
Its remarkable that the very same people who dont believe anything written in the mainstream media, believe everything , without question that is written on infowars and the like , even when the story is different to the heading .
The same people who dont trust the mainstream media , believe infowars , when infowars cites the Washington post , and cites them incorrectly .
Bewildering

No, they had no choice, this is not the Japanese one, but I consider the man about to die to be showing a great deal of courage. Maybe you should think before being sarcastic. They took his life but they didn't take his dignity. He's not crying like a little bitch. Would you have the balls to behave the same way?

Not being from the USA and having no interest in the Countries affairs, I have never heard of him . But, when talking about the distant past, many people are inclined to exaggerate a bit , especially in war situations .
A helicopter did indeed get shot down, he told the truth in that respect .
He was in a helicopter on the day in the area, he told the truth in that respect .
The only detail that was incorrect was which helicopter he was in .
So, it wasnt a complete lie , he just got a few minor details wrong .
It was a long time ago, so he can forgiven for getting a few details mixed up .
Can you remember exactly where you were 20 years ago .
Whether you was in either one bus or another one right behind ?

You don't forget facts about being shot down in a helicopter. Period. I was in a helicopter that got hit multiple times and auto-rotated into a rice paddy. It was November 13th, 1968 at 9:30 AM. You never forget. He lied. Period.

O.K. So you resent undeserved people trying to join the "shot down in a helicopter" Club . That is fair enough, I would as well, had I been shot down in a helicopter

I don't give a crap about your 'club'. My problem is with you presenting this liar as having 'slightly exaggerated' rather than admitting he lied, over and over for years, about the incident.

I also don't care about 'journalistic integrity' because I don't believe such a thing exists.

Let's just call a liar a liar.

The guy lied. He can dissemble until hell freezes over and the more explanations he offers the more stupid he appears. And it's not a left - right issue either.

Channel 4's Cathy Newman Apologises After CCTV Footage Emerges Of Mosque Incident

Channel 4's Cathy Newman Apologises After CCTV Footage Emerges Of Mosque Incident

Channel 4 presenter Cathy Newman has apologised after CCTV footage obtained by The Huffington Post UK appeared to contradict her claim that she was "ushered out of the door" of a London mosque on the weekend.

The South London Islamic Centre, where Newman claims she was turned away despite turning up wearing a headscarf, says surveillance video shows the reporter arriving at the mosque, being directed by a male congregant, but leaving alone through the courtyard.

Newman sparked a social media firestorm after tweeting she was "ushered onto the street" during 'Visit My Mosque Day' which the mosque said provoked threatening voicemails which it has reported to police.

....and another one. Absolute bullshit lies from another "respected" TV media news reporter.

It goes against his way of thinking, simple. He calls the conspiracy nut statement as many do simply because it is hard to accept.

How many alternative media agencies 5 plus years ago commented on the following?

Cameras to installed in TVs and other devices to monitor your behavior. People called conspiracy because the US people would never allow their constitution to be infringed upon! Fourth amendment I believe. Yet here we are and it is being accepted by the people that said it would never happen. A new era of terrorism is it? Better for our security is it? Useful idiots tend to change their tune when the mainstream plays the latest song!

Forced inoculation would never be accepted by the US and UK people alike. No school for your kid sir! Here we are again. And more annoyingly we have people who have taken injections for measles and similar whose kids have caught measles only a few days later. And stupidly they blame it on the people who haven't been injected. I'm sorry, but isn't the inoculation supposed to protect you? Sorry to quote Dr. Mercola, but "read the insert"

Let's face it, the list is endless with shit that the American people would never allow, and the Brits for that matter, but you're sold on the coolness of the technology or that it's better for your protection or a new era of infections.

Kids are your won are they? Or do they belong to the state and a wider community as was quoted recently. Never, pure bullshit!

I'll happily be called a nut job, cos should the shit ever hit the fat, and I hope it doesn't, I won't go begging to the government for help. As far as I'm concerned, the safety of my family is in my hands, not the government!

I've digressed from the subject, but when people are intentionally being divided by false paradigm such as the left and right, the power over the people will always remain with corporate government, and not the people.

First time that Ive heard of this .
Could you give me some more info on cameras being installed on TVs to monitor peoples behavior .
I would be very surprised if this was true, which I dont think that it is

Just out of curiosity : If the U.S. Government intends to put cameras in everyones televisions to monitor then . Who will be doing the monitoring ?
Half the population would be watching TV and the other half would be watching those watching TV, then they could all change shift .
You have been watching me, now , you go home and its my turn to watch you .

Yea, courage then they cut his fucking throat and severed his head...nice photo btw, encouraging the enemy is part of your support no doubt.

He's dead, what has courage got to do with that?

A super computer will do it, in the same way that the supercomputer catches everything you say and type on your phone trying to pick out the best time to drop a drone bomb on your house. :deadhorsebig:

Did Brian Williams lie about his Hurricane Katrina experience too

MORE heroic tales of Brian Williams’ adventures in journalism are being questioned.
The NBC news anchor, who apologised on Wednesday for telling a false story about taking fire in a helicopter while covering Iraq, is being called out for possibly lying about his experience covering Hurricane Katrina, according to a report.
US TV NEWS ANCHOR APOLOGISES FOR IRAQ FIB
Williams claimed to have gotten dysentery from drinking flood water and seeing dead bodies float past his hotel in the New Orleans French Quarter while covering Hurricane Katrina.
However the The New Orleans Advocate noted that the French Quarter was not flooded and quoted a local health expert who did not recall anyone getting such a stomach ailment.

Williams recalled his bout with the bug in interview with Tom Brokaw last year, when he said: “I accidentally ingested some of the floodwater. I became very sick with dysentery,”
The Advocate said a public health official never heard of people getting things like dysentery after the storm.

“I don’t recall a single, solitary case of gastroenteritis during Katrina or in the whole month afterwards,” Dr. Brobson Lutz told The Advocate.
“I don’t know anybody that’s tried that [drinking flood water] to see, but my dogs drank it, and they didn’t have any problems.”
Williams said also during an interview in 2006 that he saw dead bodies float past his window in the French Quarter.
“When you look out of your hotel window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by face down, when you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country,” Williams said in 2006.
But the French Quarter, the original high ground of New Orleans, was not impacted by the floodwaters that overwhelmed the vast majority of the city, The Advocate said.

He also said in his Brokaw interview: “Our hotel was overrun with gangs, I was rescued in the stairwell of a five-star hotel in New Orleans by a young police officer. We are friends to this day.”
The new revelation came as revered broadcast journalist Tom Brokaw said that Williams should step aside.
In the wake of the humiliating revelation the NBC Nightly News anchor apologised during Wednesday night’s broadcast.
“I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago … I want to apologise. I said I was travelling in an aircraft that was hit by RPG fire. I was instead in a following aircraft,” he said.
Sorry or not, the internet wasn’t about to let the newsman off the hook, and in the hours that followed, the #BrianWilliamsMisremembers meme took flight.

Brian Williams? Hurricane Katrina coverage is now being questioned after Iraq lie

^ Yes he probably did. It's not news anymore, they've made it a form of entertainment.

No "probably," about it. He did! Entertainment, yup.

If this is what's going on all over the web the bloke is fuked.
Excellent.
I hope his compatriots and colleagues take note.
The truth will out.

These lying bastards and the multinational conglomerates that seek to run the world (Murdoch) need to be outed spouted and water boarded. They've destroyed our world.

Where have politeness and good manners, consideration and care gone?

I despair.

Here we go, a classic example of the absurdity, lies and insanity of modern life.

I hate to tell you luckyjim, but rian Williams will weather this storm and use professionals that are experts at mitigating bad press. It happens time and time again with celebrities in the US because everyone has a very short memory.

Brian Williams will continue to give the evening news and his followers will not diminish by any great amount. Just look how these spinmasters have gotten the presidents out of hot water on numerous occasions.

I know.

That's why I hide.

Damn Rick, I was just getting that "feel good," on.

Sorry, but I take all newscasters and stories from the press with a grain of salt. Too many outside influences and politics involved with todays news. Gee really?

Yep...certainly amongst the corporate mainstream circles.

Shouldn't be any surprise that all of the majors have disassembled their "news divisions" and now are overseen by the entertainment sectors.

It's not about news and base information.
It's about ratings, marketing, and advertising revenue.

The need to be in competition with news.

The internet has him now, he won't survive.
Bloggers and tinfoils will start going through his past stories and picking them apart..

He'll get promoted. His only mistake was owning up. It will be forgotten about soon enough. Its the media way of doing business.

Years of working between truth and fabrication would make any journalist whore confused

New stories keep popping up. He's now decided to take himself off the air for a few days until people quit ridiculing him. Wonder if he'll be back?

Latest was an interview in which, as a teenager, he claimed to have rescued a puppy from a burning building. In a later interview, it became two puppies, not one. They're going after every story he ever presented. Wonder how a talking head feels being on the other end of it?

Ahh he was just doing his job. Leave the poor bloke alone

:smileylaughing:

^^^^^^ @ Failsafe

Great post and the pictures are funny, but Photoshop is also a dangerous tool that can distort the truth. Obviously here it's humorous and appropriate, but it's also something that can be grossly misused in a malicious or deliberate manner.

^Certainly wouldn't want anyone to 'distort the truth'........

^^

So you're saying he wasn't present at the Gettysburg Address?

^I'm waiting for the report on the "parting of the red sea," and Adam and Eve succumbing to partaking of the "Forbidden Fruit." Could be a real story of the coming Ice Age or decline of the Wooly Mammoths? Surely Brian was at all events? Perhaps an interview with Noah on the launching of his Ark?

It appears Brian Williams has temporarily stepped down while the network looks into his issues. This is a typical tactic to lay low until the smoke clears and people forget about what he did. It has been done time and time again when a celebrity has a melt down or commites a socially unacceptable faux pas. Tiger Woods and his publicized womenizing comes to mind.

Brian will be back pursuing his career in short order once the public has forgotten.
