    Ok, so we currently have an attack on Fox News for showing the ISIS pilot burning video and opinions vary on whether it was the proper thing to do. I get that. But this liberal LIED FOR YEARS about something that never happened. Now I'm left to wonder if the lefties on this board will defend him or call for him to resign? In my mind his credibility is shot.

    He was actually dodging gunfire in Bosnia along with Hillary.

    How do you misremember taking fire in a helicopter that takes a subsequent emergency landing?

    I didn't realize taking on RPG fire in a helicopter would be easy to mistake with NOT BEING SHOT AT in a helicopter.

    So Brian Williams has been lying to us all and also allowing a lie to perpetuate for eleven years running and we are now supposed to believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Every minute from now on that Brian Williams takes a paycheck from NBC is a drain on what little credibility that NBC has left.

    Anyone in the media that pushes a lie should be fined the first time, fined more the second and barred from working in the industry for the third time. But then again everyone would be whining that all their favorite reporters on FOX and MSM are all gone. Wrong is wrong no matter who does the wrong.

    HUH? He 'misremembered' the events....? What kind of psychobabble is that?

    Is that kinda like Hillary when she said she 'misspoke' about dodging sniper bullets in Bosnia?

    An experienced reporter like that needs no publicity like that. Shame on him. He shouldn't have said it. Whatever he gets for it is deserved.

    NBC knew they were in trouble when they realized Brian Williams put "Stormed the Bastille","War Correspondent during D-Day", and "Served with General Washington" on his résumé.

    I was actually in the Navy for 8 years. In that time, I worked on board nearly every vessel in the Pacific, Indian Ocean, and Persian Gulf. Things happened, but I don't "misremember" one second of it all. Nor do I "mis-speak" of it. I'm just "some guy", and my integrity exceeds theirs.

    Oh, goodie, another goofy liberal catch word: Misremember.

    WTF is that, anyway? Misremember?

    What a tool. What a fool. What an idiot!

    And for exactly the same reason. They want so much for it to be true that it is true.

    Deep down they realize how they haven't really accomplished anything of note other than their self congratulatory liberals beliefs that they fabricate that they are somehow war heroes. And they know that the liberal media will not only cover for them, they will defend them as if their liberals lives depend on it.

    Good God! Forget American Sniper.....this tool can ACT! He really likes the sound of his own voice.

    Hilarious now that we know it's all a lie. It's just the first 7 or so minutes:

    Don't worry, they'll be here soon enough to derail the thread. I'm actually a bit surprised they haven't started moaning about FOX yet in this thread. I give it by post 33.

    Thanks! After today, I really need that! :smile:

    Do you guys think liberals care their news anchors are liars? The President lies all the time and they love him for it.

    Wait a minute! Are you insinuating that she did not dodge bullets in Bosnia?

    I have solid proof!

    [video=youtube;I23fjRN-PGc]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I23fjRN-PGc[/video]

    This is the woman Democrats want to be president. She's such a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing liar.

    Thanks for the joke of the year. How can a rational intelligent fully grown man think that he was shot down while riding in a helicopter? Was he high on the local flora?

    Interesting how he misremembers it in such great detail.

    ..and "we figured out a way to land"? What's this we (*)(*)(*)(*) Brian? Do you also misremember flying the chopper?
