“When you look out of your hotel window in the French Quarter and watch a man float by face down… When you see bodies that you last saw in Banda Aceh, Indonesia, and swore to yourself that you would never see in your country...” – Brian Williams on Hurricane Katrina.
Reporting too good to be true.
This and several other discredited reports by news anchor Brian Williams led to his suspension from NBC last week. Indeed, the media must provide the public accurate information, but how about the rest of us? Is it really so bad to make up war stories and embellish battle scars?
