Brian Williams is pretty much this generation’s Tom Brokaw. Always doing his thing when big time news breaks, with a style of delivery that’s tough to compete with these days.
On top of being a hell of anchor, he’s also a father. About a month ago he flipped on the ole tv to see how his daughter Allison was doing on her TV show Girls.
It’s weird enough to watch sex on broadcast TV with your parents in the room let alone see your little angel have her salad tossed. There’s no doubt this had to put Brian on suicide watch even though he tried to spin it as “acting” which is always a bull shit cop out when dealing with loved ones participating in dicey sex scenes.
Irregardless time ticked on and a month later Brian’s PTSD caused him to come clean about a story he told involving taking on fire while covering the war in Iraq. Truth is his chopper wasn’t blown out of the sky and years after somehow never getting called out on his bs story he reveals he misremembered the truth.
Now today he’s trying to get ahead of his punishment, much the same way you probably did as a kid when you voluntarily ate a bar of soap to avoid any real punishment the first time your parents heard you say ass.
The real problem here is the perception that anyone at war can’t be questioned. Guy with a state of the art camera crew comes back from Iraq with a hell of a story but no photos or videos? First move has to be calling him out to produce proof. Someone dropped that ball and now poor Brian has to take a vacation because now people are offended.
Hate vocal minority’s, let Brian live. Fortunately there is probably plenty of tape out there for him to continue rapping.
