Brian Williams “misremembering” of events while covering the
Iraq War may well cost him his job. And believe me, it is one of the best jobs
in American media. There is currently only room for three anchor positions in
nightly broadcast news. His position has earned Brian Williams a net worth of
$40 million and salary of $13 million per year.
Here may be some of the last words you will hear from the
NBC News anchor, “In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news,
it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of
the news, due to my actions… As managing editor of ‘NBC Nightly News,’ I have
decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days.”

By the way, according to a nationwide survey the most
trusted person in America is now Tom Hanks.
