The anchor of NBC news has lied about what happened to him in Iraq. He has said that the helicopter that he was flying in was hit by enemy fire and had to make an emergency landing. This has been determined to be untrue by others who were on the scene at the time. Lying for twelve years to embellish his image is an insult to all served and died in Iraq and he simply must get out. I expect no disagreement on this matter...

With videos, social media, the Internet.....why do people take the chance on lying? Eventually someone is bound to out the offender.
 
"News Anchor" is the title, but I suspect that he is
a reporter and reporters do what they like, that is
why the newspapers are always writing apologies
for "mistakes" in an article, so he is acting normally
for a reporter, I think.

Just another example of what constitutes mainstream media.

I believe what he did is referred to as "stolen valor". I know a few guys who would love to talk to him ...
 
This is what happens when more emphasis is put on entertaining rather than reporting just the news. RATINGS! This is what the corporations owning the major news networks are after.. and I imagine their Anchors are under immense pressure to provide those.. SO... I believe they are all under the gun to get any little edge over others... just to keep their jobs.

A quote I once read, "It's not so much that I'm angry that you lied to me, I'm angry that I can no longer believe anything you say."

The last news reporter that you could have absolute confidence in was Walter Cronkite.

So for a little lie he said when he was in Iraq in 2003,NBC is thinking of replacing him with Katie Couric ?????

Katie is a wimp and I could never watch her reporting the news,she just doesn't have it.

Is Tom Brokaw still available?
 
Tom is not interested anymore. I used to come home from work knowing if I tuned to CBS Walter Cronkite would tell me if the world was safe another day or not. Loved Walter he was the last of the WW2 combat zone reporters who ended up doing nightly news. He loved the space program and cried on air when John Kennedy was killed. A good man.
