NBC investigates Brian Williams' past reports as speculation swirls
In this Nov. 5, 2014 file photo, Brian Williams speaks at the 8th Annual Stand Up For Heroes, presented by New York Comedy Festival and The Bob Woodruff Foundation in New York. Exaggerating one's personal experiences or career accomplishments to make them appear more interesting isn't uncommon behavior, but in the era of the Internet and particularly social media, it's not nearly as easy to get away with. Williams is currently serving a six-month suspension from anchoring the NBC Nightly News for embellishing his wartime combat experiences.
BRAD RARKET/ASSOCIATED PRESS
The downfall of one of news' most well-known and
respected anchors has made headlines since late January. Former NBC "Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams retold a story he had embellished before about being in a helicopter over Iraq in 2003 when it was hit by an RPG, or rocket-propelled grenade.
As it turns out, a helicopter was hit on the same day Williams said it was, but he wasn't in it. After a veteran called him out the next day on Facebook, Williams came clean — kind of.
He said he was trying to pay tribute to a veteran who'd saved his life. Despite his attempts to make it seem like a lesser lie, NBC top executives began their investigation into the validity of Williams' other newscasts. On Feb. 10, Williams was officially suspended for six months without pay, and the next day his name was taken off the "Nightly News" broadcast for the first time since 2004, according to New York Daily News.
What will happen to Williams when the six-
Williams chalked up the incident that propelled him into the spotlight as a misremembering. If this was the only incident being called into question, it might be easier to believe that, but it isn't. The 2003 incident coming to light only opened the floodgates to an investigation to see if Williams potentially lied, embellished or misremembered in other newscasts.
month suspension ends is unknown, but according to The Washington Post, NBC top officials thought seriously about firing Williams before deciding on suspension.
Scientific studies have shown memories can be changed, and even false memories can be believed to the point they become real in the mind, according to a New York Times article.
If this was the only instance, it might be easy to believe Williams, a renowned reporter who has been on the front lines of breaking news for years, really just made a mistake.
But then his reporting on Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which won him a Peabody award, came under fire. Williams said he watched a dead body float by the Ritz-Carlton hotel in which he stayed. Yet, the hotel was in the French Quarter, most of which remained dry,
according to the Washington Post.
Another instance called into question regarding his Katrina reporting: Williams said in his documentary that he heard of a man committing suicide inside the Superdome, but when he retold that story, he said he had witnessed it.
But wait, there's more. Williams said he was at the Berlin Wall in 1989 when it fell, but according to Politico, an unnamed NBC source said Williams didn't arrive until the day after the wall fell. Williams also has said on his broadcasts that he flew into Baghdad with SEAL Team 6. Yet, according to the Huffington Post, U.S. Special Operations Command has said that is impossible as it does not allow journalists to fly with it.
It is the little things that aren't adding up. Williams certainly was in Iraq in 2003, and he did report on
important instances during the war. He was in Louisiana during the aftermath of Katrina, but maybe he didn't see all he said he did. Maybe he did fly in with SEAL Team 6, but was told not to speak of it. We cannot say exactly what Williams did or did not see. But we can say what is probable, and somehow, he has a knack for seeing the improbable, or some would say, the impossible.
Williams was trusted by millions of Americans. He anchored "Nightly News" for 10 years. And now, how do American news consumers know who to trust? It is so sad to see what is most likely over a decade of quality reporting now tainted. As a journalist, Williams was supposed to report the facts, not what he thought the facts were, and not what he wanted the facts to be. He should never have been the news.

'It 's My Party' singer-songwriter Lesley Gore dies at 68 of cancer
Associated Press
MARK KENNEDY
NEW YORK — Singersongwriter Lesley Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 at age 16 with her epic song of teenage angst, "It's My Party," and followed it up with the hits "Judy's Turn to Cry," and the feminist anthem "You Don't Own Me," died Monday. She was 68.
Gore died of lung cancer at New York University Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, according to her partner of 33 years, Lois Sasson.
"She was a wonderful human being — caring, giving, a great feminist, great woman, great human being, great humanitarian," Sasson, a jewelry designer, told The Associated Press.
Brooklyn-born and New Jersey-raised, Gore was discovered by Quincy Jones as a teenager and signed to Mercury Records. She graduated from Sarah Lawrence College with a degree in English/American literature.
Gore's other hits include "She's A Fool," "Sunshine, Lollipops and Rainbows," "That's the Way Boys Are" and "Maybe I Know." She co-wrote with her brother, Michael, the Academy
Award-nominated "Out Here On My Own" from the film "Fame."
She sang at the 1964 T.A.M.I. Show in Santa Monica, California, alongside future Rock and Roll Hall of Farmers like the James Brown and the Rolling Stones. Gore also played Catwoman's sidekick in the cult TV comedy "Batman."
In a Facebook post, songwriter Neil Sedaka, who attended Gore's Swet 16 birthday party, shared his thoughts: "She was a great
In the 1990s, Gore cowrote "My Secret Love" for Allison Anders' film "Grace of My Heart," released in 1996. A couple of years later, she appeared in "Smokey Joe's Cafe" on Broadway. Gore had been working on a
person and a phenomenal talent, who had opened for me on many occasions. She recorded a few of my songs ("Magic Colors" and "Summer Symphony") and was a great songwriter in her own right. I'm glad I had the chance of knowing her."

Singer-songwriter Gore, who topped the charts in 1963 with her epic song of teenage angst, "It's My Party," and followed it up with the hits "Judy's Turn to Cry," and "You Don't Own Me," died of cancer Monday. She was 68.
In 2005; she released "Ever Since," her first album in 30 years, but was sure to revisit older hits in front of fans. "If I've learned anything in this business," she told The New York Times that year, "how stupid would it be not to do 'It's My Party' when people come to hear it?"
She officially came out to the public when she hosted several episodes of the PBS series, "In The Life," which dealt with gay and lesbian issues.
During the 2012 presidential campaign, Gore turned "You Don't Own Me" into an online video public service announcement demanding reproductive rights which starred Lena Dunham and Tavi Govinson, among others
In the last few years, she performed at Feinstein's at the Loews Regency in New York and, along with Ronnie Spector and LaLa Brooks, headlined the "She's Got the Power" concert outdoors at Lincoln Center in 2012.
.
In addition to Sasson, Gore is survived by her brother and mother, Ronny. Services will be held on Thursday at the Frank E. Campbell funeral home on Madison Avenue.
