He Lied

Brian Williams, anchor and managing editor for NBC Nightly News lied about being shot down in a helicopter in Iraq. So what? He was only trying to honor the troops that kept him alive. And, maybe make himself a hero to his audience and peers. But what difference does it make? Everybody tells a story a little different from someone who knows the truth.

Never let the truth interfere with a good story is the first rule of today’s journalism.
