BRIAN WILLIAMS: I GOT ROBBED AT GUNPOINT WHILE SELLING CHRISTMAS TREES

Long before Brian Williams was caught lying about his chopper coming under fire in Iraq, he claimed he’d stared down the barrel of a bandit’s gun as a teenager in sleepy Red Bank, NJ.

In a 2005 interview with Esquire magazine, Williams said a thief drew on him in the 1970s — leaving him “looking up at a thug’s snub-nosed .38 while selling Christmas trees out of the back of a truck.”

He told the tough-to-believe story at least four times, claiming he was trying to help a local church when the thief snatched his money on West Front Street and Riverside Avenue.

“That wasn’t a bad job, until a guy came up and stuck a .38-caliber pistol in my face and made me hand over all the money. Merry Christmas, right? Of course, I suddenly appreciated the other jobs I thought I hated,” he told New Jersey Monthly in 2008.

But longtime Red Bank residents think it’s a tall tale.

‘That’s Crazy': Multiple Witnesses Contradict Williams’ Katrina Stories

https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/2015/02/436.jpg

Now that everything he has ever said about anything will be under scrutiny for a very long time, there is a lot out there. As of now, though, it is Brian Williams’ Tales from Katrina that are receiving an extra level of scrutiny. And they are not holding up very well. Witnesses are calling Williams’ Katrina stories of close calls at the five-star Ritz-Carlton Hotel “crazy.”

Williams told “The Great Deluge” author Douglas Brinkley that “armed gangs had broken into the 527-room hotel, brandishing guns and terrorizing guests.” Williams claims that at the time he was lying helpless on a mattress in a stairwell delirious with dysentery. He finally summoned the strength to escape, and after wading through two feet of water he made it through the front door of the hotel. Outside, things just got worse. Williams says he was confronted by a street gang trying to steal his car. A National Guardsman appeared just in time.

That is the stuff of action movies. The problem is that witnesses who were there say it didn’t happen."

I agree.

The West has become a little too cynical. How many keyboard warriors would place them selves in harm's way to report the news?

Respect to the Japanese reporter...

Brian Williams Blocked Stories Critical of Obama on the Grounds That They Were "Divisive"

I can't believe it!

"The Nightly News crisis exposed deep-rooted anger among many NBC journalists, who felt frustrated that Williams had been allowed to gain so much power. In recent years, the anchor had churned through executive producers who challenged him.

Others complained about Williams’s unwillingness to go after hard-hitting stories. Multiple sources told me that former NBC investigative reporters Michael Isikoff and Lisa Myers battled with Williams over stories. In February 2013, Isikoff failed to interest Williams in a piece about a confidential Justice Department memo that justified killing American citizens with drones. He instead broke the story on Rachel Maddow. That October, Myers couldn’t get Williams to air a segment about how the White House knew as far back as 2010 that some people would lose their insurance policies under Obama[at]care. Frustrated, Myers posted the article on NBC’s website, where it immediately went viral. Williams relented and ran it the next night. “He didn’t want to put stories on the air that would be divisive,” a senior NBC journalist told me. According to a source, Myers wrote a series of scathing memos to then–NBC senior vice-president Antoine Sanfuentes documenting how Williams suppressed her stories. [at]Myers and Isikoff eventually left the network (and both declined to comment)."

To what ends? Divisive to whom? Obama, sure but why, whats the motive? All POTUS have negative press, why this particular suppression of the news by this particular person? Who's payroll is he on? George Soro's clan?

Williams sounds like solid material to become a politician. Sign him up!

^News report is he wanted to take over the David Letterman show....comedian more like it.

Its all about perception thaimeme, not about qualifications and hasen't been for 2000 years.

As for remembering you Batongboy, "How could he possibly forget you?" Weren't you in the chopper with him when it was hit with a rocket propelled grenade?
