The lack of integrity by the modern journalist never ceases to amaze me, they will do anything to get a good story, including faking a story. Mainstream media along with a lot of governments are losing credibility because of this. I think the reporter should be bared from all newsagencies.
Washington, Feb 6 (IANS/EFE) Veteran journalist Brian Williams, the popular host of NBC's nightly prime time newscast, has apologised after admitting that he made up the story he told about travelling in a helicopter that was attacked during the 2003 Iraq invasion.
Williams retracted the story he recounted last week after crewmembers of the US chopper that was attacked told Stars and Stripes newspaper that the reporter was not on board at the time.
The journalist, 55, apologised Wednesday evening in a statement he read during the "NBC Nightly News", that he hosted since 2004.
"I want to apologise," Williams said.
