This man's show is worse than MSNBC in terms of Pravda-style straightforward government propaganda. Nice to see him go down in flames for a casual lie, one of thousands he tells regularly. - ChrisNBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams has been forced to admit that his compelling 2003 account of surviving a ride-along in a military helicopter downed by ground fire in Iraq was not true.

In fact, he told viewers in an apology at the end of last night’s national bulletin, his helicopter had not been shot down. But somebody else’s had.

“I made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago,” Williams told the studio camera.

“I want to apologise. I said I was travelling in an aircraft that was hit by fire. Instead, I was in the following aircraft,”

The 55-year-old is one of America’s most recognised journalists. He has covered the some of the world’s biggest stories, reporting on Hurricane Katrina from New Orleans, taking an African road trip with U2 frontman Bono and embedding with US troops in Afghanistan. He has interviewed everyone from Chelsea Clinton to Edward Snowden.
