The New York Post had a field day with its cover Friday after longtime NBC anchor Brian Williams was forced to recant a story he’d been telling for years: that a military helicopter he flew in was forced down by rocket fire in Iraq in 2003.
The tabloid’s cover depicted Williams as Pinocchio with a “nose for news” and gave the top news anchor the new moniker “Lyin’ Brian.”

It’s hard to see how Williams outlasts this.
Every thing he says is now going to be perceived within the context of this story.
Well, any guy that knows all the words to so many rap songs…
Fox News ought to be treated like this.
The right wing pundits have been vicious about this. That’s all they talked about on the radio yesterday. Personally I did not think it was that big a deal.
All the right-wing pundits act like Williams is some bastion of liberal philosophy, ignoring the fact that Unbiased Brian did everything he could to sell the fucking Iraq War outside of giving every male Congressman and Senator a handjob. I guess NBC saves that for “Meet the Press”.
