#BrianWilliamsMisremembers: A study in history
NBC news anchor Brian Williams, who has anchored NBC’s flagship newscast since 2004, announced he would take a leave of absence after admitting he “misremembered” the details of being on a helicopter that was shot down over Iraq.
Williams has apologized on air, but the firestorm around the incident has continued, including calls for his resignation and even worse, the #BrianWilliamsMisremembers meme.
Here is a small compilation of Brian Williams in history:

Poor Brian, the internet is not a forgiving place.
