Brian Williams is not the first news anchor to fabricate sidebars to actuality nor will he be the last.
Google and you can see how Meagan Kelley and Sean Hannity have both been caught stretching the facts.

Not defending anyone here, BUT the two folks you mention from Fox are NOT newscasters. They do NOT report, but comment on news. Williams reports news and as such has a much higher standard.
Your confusion about this is the basis for much of our ill informed electorate. It is a serious one, as no one should tune into either of those you mention OR Rachael Maddow or many on CNN for NEWS.
NOT knowing this difference is a very serious flaw.
