During MSNBC’s Inauguration coverage on Wednesday, host Brian Williams previewed the first press briefing of the Biden administration by stating that it will be “a shock to witness a fact-based White House briefing in that briefing room.”
Williams said, “It’s going to be a shock to witness a fact-based White House briefing in that briefing room. But we’ll boldly go there tonight.”https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2021/01 ... -briefing/
He should know about "fact based " reporting, Brian Williams-Apologizes for Lying About His Iraq Helicopter Crash. ...Other soldiers who were actually on the helicopter that was hit and performed an emergency landing posted on Facebook that they didn’t recall Williams or his crew being onboard. They said that Williams arrived approximately an hour after the formation had already landed. Williams promptly acknowledged that they were right, and recanted.
“You are absolutely right, and I am wrong,” Williams said on the air and in the Facebook comments section of a post containing the erroneous video report. https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2015/02 ... helicopter
And...Williams has said on television multiple times that he flew into Baghdad with the Navy's SEAL Team Six, which was responsible for carrying out the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, about three days after the US invaded Iraq, according to The Huffington Post. He has also said he received a SEAL's knife and a piece of the helicopter from the bin Laden raid as gifts.
As far as The Huffington Post could tell, Williams started telling these stories only in 2011, the year bin Laden was killed. Williams reported from the Baghdad airport on April 9, 2003, more than three days after the invasion of Iraq, but he didn't mention going anywhere with SEAL Team Six, possibly because he was told not to discuss their activities.
Sources who talked to The Huffington Post said these stories seemed implausible, with US Special Operations Command spokesman Ken McGraw saying the organization did not "embed journalists with this or any other unit that conducts counter-terrorism missions."
NBC has not confirmed whether Williams' stories about SEAL Team Six are accurate.https://www.businessinsider.com/what-br ... out-2015-2
