Roy Green - Sun Feb 8 - Brian Williams Story Continued

Brian Williams continues to make headlines. The NBC News anchor has stepped aside from his anchor job for "a few days" (maybe for good?). Reports continue to circulate that NBC management asked Williams to stop telling his "stories" and Maureen Dowd writes in the New York Times today "they were flummoxed over why the leading network anchor felt that he needed Henningwayesque, bullets-whizzing-by flourishes to puff himself up, sometimes to the point where it became a joke in the news division." Guest: Professor Jane Kirtley. Director of the Silha Center for Media Ethics and the Law, Univ of Minnesota. -Playback of highlights of yesterday's interview with Omaha World-Herald reporter Steve Liewer. Liewer was embedded with the U.S. helicopter crews in Iraq and at the crash-site of the Chinook helicopter interviewing the crews before Brian Williams arrived up to an hour later in another helicopter. Tells how the pilot of the downed Chinook sent an email to Williams producer in 2003 asking for a retraction from Williams to his claim he was on board the downed chopper.
