NBC’s Brian Williams Tells Matt Lauer on Today: “I told stories that weren’t true”

Share

Here’s the video of this morning’s interview with Brian Williams. It sums up at about 9:38. “I told stories that weren’t true,” Williams, now the former anchor of NBC Nightly News, says. Lester Holt replaces him. Williams gets kicked to MSNBC so that Comcast doesn’t have to pay out any part of his contract. Williams still receives $10 million a year. “This came from a bad place…inside me,” Williams says.

To me he sounds like Richard Nixon. He never once says these words, “I lied.” Watch this video. It’s brutal– especially since NBC has embedded a Dunkin Donuts commercial with Joel McHale. Keep refreshing.
