As these examples leak out, it's important to keep in mind that not every inconsistency in Williams' history qualifies as a lie. For instance, there are two examples of possible 'embellishment' that have surfaced recently, including <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/07/media/brian-williams-hurricane-katrina/">Hurricane Katrina</a> and<b> </b><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/12/media/brian-williams-investigation-questions/index.html">Pope John Paul II</a>, which only reflect minor inconsistencies. They are doubted narratives, not disputed ones. The reader might think twice about adding them to the list of Williams' wrongdoings simply because they've been reported on.</p> <p>There are, however, three real examples that should raise red flags. They are:</p> <p><strong>'Choppergate'</strong></p> <p>During the January 30, 2015, NBC Nightly News broadcast, Brian Williams referred to "a terrible moment a dozen years back during the invasion of Iraq when the helicopter we were traveling in was forced down after being hit by an RPG." Williams later said he was not in the the helicopter that was hit by an RPG, but in a helicopter direclty behind it. The pilots of Williams' helicopter <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/02/brian-williams-is-in-serious-trouble-202226.html?ml=bp">say</a> their chopper was not directly behind the hit Chinook, but in a different company altogether.</p> <p><strong>SEAL Team 6</strong></p> <p>During the May 3, 2011, NBC Nightly News broadcast, Williams said that he had "the great honor of flying into Baghdad with [SEAL Team 6] at the start of the war." A Special Operations Command spokesman has <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/12/brian-williams-seal-team-6_n_6663570.html?utm_hp_ref=the-backstory">told Huffington Post</a>: "We do not embed journalists with this or any other unit that conducts counter-terrorism missions." Said another SEAL officer <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/13/opinion/bergen-brian-williams-seal-team-six/">to CNN</a>: "That early in the conflict, there were only missions taking place, not bouncing between outstations."</p> <p><strong>The Berlin Wall</strong></p> <p>At a 2008 forum at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, Williams said that he "was at the Brandenburg Gate the night the [Berlin] wall came down." As <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://money.cnn.com/2015/02/12/media/brian-williams-investigation-questions/index.html">CNN reports</a>, "'the night the wall came down' is widely recognized as November 9, 1989. ... An NBC News source in a position to know confirmed to CNNMoney that "Brian arrived the day after the wall came down."</p> <p>Those of you keeping track at home would do well to follow CNN's <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/https://twitter.com/tomkludt">Tom Klludt</a>, who's been pretty consistent calling the balls and strikes on Williams. We'll be updating this list as more information comes out, as well.</p> <span id="page1"></span><span id="page2"></span> </div> <!--/.p-content--> <div class="story-toolbar"> <ul class="toolbar-main"> <li class="social-sharing"> <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_width" addthis:url="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/02/brian-williams-alleged-lies-a-list-202585.html" addthis:title="Brian Williams' alleged lies: A list" addthis:description=""> <a class="addthis_button_facebook_share" fb:share:layout="button_count"></a> <a class="addthis_button_tweet" tw:via="POLITICO"></a> <a class="addthis_button_linkedin_counter" addthis:url="http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/02/brian-williams-alleged-lies-a-list-202585.html"></a> <a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a> <div class="atclear"></div> </div> <!-- AddThis Button END --> <!-- AddThis Button END --> </li> </ul> <ul class="toolbar-secondary"> <li class="num-comments"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2015/02/brian-williams-alleged-lies-a-list-202585.html#disqus_thread" data-disqus-identifier="dby-202585"></a> </li> <li class="share-email"> <a href="javascript:void(0);" onclick="OpenForm();" style="text-decoration: none;"> </a></li> <li class="share-print"> <a href="javascript:print()">Print</a> </li> </ul> </div> <!--/.toolbar--> <div class="short-url"> <h4>Short URL:</h4> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20150704114835/http://politi.co/1E8Gp3f">http://politi.co/1E8Gp3f</a> </div> <div class="tangential-wrapper"> <div class="tangential-module"> <!--Begin Taboola Script--> <div id="taboola-grid-4x2"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> window._taboola = window._taboola || [];
