The problem is he does make a good network news anchor, but not so much a credible reporter now and if it were anyone other than an anchor with solid name recognition they would have been fired on the spot most likely… ---

(From a career standpoint) I really don’t want to see him lose the Nightly News spot. Yeah people are talking about this “scandal” if you want to call it that, basically destroying his life. Seems like a stupid mistake to me. Was he dishonest…yeah, does it really affect him delivering news…nope. ---

People are going to tear into anything that he’s ever reported on looking for mistakes. Hopefully that will show a reporter with integrity that slipped up once instead of a habitual liar going after ratings. ---

It’s not just the “getting shot at” story from the middle east. Read this: [http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/02/10/brian-williams-perhaps-misremembered-floating-dead-body-and-gangs-during-katrina-hotel-manager-says/?tid=hp\_mm](http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2015/02/10/brian-williams-perhaps-misremembered-floating-dead-body-and-gangs-during-katrina-hotel-manager-says/?tid=hp_mm) > At some point — it’s unclear when — Williams said he camped out in a stairwell on a mattress. That surprised DeGersdorff. “I can tell you that at no time did any of my people report any sightings of any bodies,” she said. “I witnessed no bodies floating. … He may have simply misremembered. But I can tell you no one broke out in the hotel with dysentery. I did have mattresses in the stairwells, sure. Did he walk into a stairwell and lay down? He could have, but Ritz-Carlton doesn’t invite its guests to sleep in the stairwell, so we certainly didn’t give him access.” ---

Hopefully that will show a reporter with integrity that slipped up once instead of a habitual liar going after ratings. mistakes are fine. people make mistakes. but that’s not really what happened is it? making up stories about your helicopter taking live fire in a warzone, bodies floating past you in a natural disaster situation or gun wielding gang members forcing themselves into hotel rooms to which there are sources that say none of which actually happened. that’s the issue. credibility. the job is to report facts as you confirm them from credible sources or witness them first hand. the reason its such a big deal is because he felt like he needed to fabricate events to either draw in the viewing audience for ratings reasons or to give himself some kind of false sense of heroism by experiencing these dangerous situations. - - - Updated - - - this whole situation has a “newsroom” feel to it and by newsroom I am referring to the television show ---

(From a career standpoint) I really don’t want to see him lose the Nightly News spot. While I agree with you, in his career, his credibility is everything… this is like a police officer lying about something small (putting a ding in his service vehicle) and then being caught in the lie, coming clean… BUT, because his credibility is questioned, he is now GIGLIO’d meaning he can never testify in court again… meaning his career is now pretty much over it sucks for him…but it comes with the job ---
