Fox News host Megyn Kelly encouraged embattled NBC anchor Brian Williams to come on her show for an interview. She said “the desire by so many to tear him down is also somewhat discomfiting.”
“If I were Brian Williams,” Kelly said, “I think the only thing he can do at this point is come out and say, ‘I truly screwed up the Iraq coverage.’ I think he can still credibly say, ‘In my mind, I was scared, I was confused, I guess I was just wrong from beginning and now I realize I was wrong, and I really was wrong when I then added the RPG fire into it in my helicopter.'”
“I actually think he should sit with me,” Kelly added. “I think he should give me an interview. I’d be fair and I’d be tough and we’d have a full venting of the issues. And that’s when people start to forgive you. It’s not when you — you got to give a full-throated apology and explanation.”
