If you’re Brian William the last person you want defending you today is Dan Rather.
Via Mediaite:
Dan Rather, the CBS anchor who was forced to resign after he reported on a fake document, said today that he supported Brian Williams after the NBC anchor was accused of falsely claiming he’d been attacked by an RPG in Iraq. […]
He went on, likely drawing from experience:
“I don’t know the particulars about that day in Iraq,” Rather told POLITICO. “I do know Brian. He’s a longtime friend and we have been in a number of war zones and on the same battlefields, competing but together. Brian is an honest decent man, an excellent reporter and anchor–and a brave one. I can attest that — like his predecessor Tom Brokaw — he is a superb pro, and a gutsy one.”
