As a Law Enforcement Officer, I was (and most LEO's will agree) lied to everyday. Did I call them a liar? Nope, just kept writing the citation and if it was contested in court, I told the truth about why the ticket was written; funny thing, people usually had a way of hanging themselves in court.
Everyone wants to be #1 in news broadcasting; Brian Williams just went about it the wrong way. Was it wrong? Yes. Should he be fired? No, maybe suspended for a while but not fired.

My point was that Brian Williams didn't have to make up ANYTHING to be well liked and secure in his position.
And of course at the age of 75 I am well aware of people's behavior and my own.
But when you are in the news reporting business you are expected to speak the truth to the public.
