ZitatWASHINGTON — Brian Williams — who was bounced from his NBC anchor job for fabricating stories — is furious about the spread of “fake news.”
The talking head, who was forced to take a six-month vacation last year before being permanently relieved of his “Nightly News” duties on NBC, railed about the epidemic of “fake news” in his late-night MSNBC cable show this week.
“Fake news played a role in this election and continues to find a wide audience,” he whined Tuesday night on “The 11th Hour with Brian Williams.”
Specifically, Williams singled out President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for national security adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, and the general’s son, Michael G. Flynn, for spreading falsehoods.
