Is this the television news equivalent of “My dog ate my homework?”
Former NBC news anchor Brian Williams, who has been at the center of scandal surrounding he fabricated Iraq War coverage, gave a whopper of an excuse when he was explaining to NBC executives what had happened with his lies, according to a juicy new Vanity Fair piece. Insiders told VF that Williams said that he might have had a “brain tumor” when he made up his story.
Williams apologized back in February for saying he was in a helicopter that was hit by a grenade while covering the Iraq War in 2003. Instead, another helicopter flying ahead of his was hit, and some veterans involved in the mission called him out on it earlier this year.
Williams has been suspended without pay since that time.
