8. Brian Williams Gets Caught Lying About Iraq
If you are a news reporter there might not be anything that is more important then your reputation (and your hair). When Brian Williams was caught lying about his involvement in an incident that occurred in the 2003 Iraq war, it significantly hindered his career. Williams was immediately suspended without pay in February, 2015 and then reassigned to breaking news coverage. Williams’ old job, as the lead anchor, was taken over by Lester Holt. One of the downfalls of being a newscaster? There is no shortage of video interviews of you, so you better make sure you have your story straight if you are going to misrepresent the truth.
