Brian’s big fog

On FNC’s Kelly File last night Megyn Kelly interviewed Stars and Stripes reporter Travis Tritten about NBC News anchor Brian Williams’s tall tales (video below). The interview proceeds methodically to trace Williams’s adornments and refinements to a tall tale he has been telling for more than ten years, capped off by a mendacious apology attributing his fabrications to the “fog of memory.” Kelly pierces the fog in this lucid interview.

Among those familiar with the story Williams has become a laughingstock. Creative types on Twitter have disseminated a multitude of images depicting previously overlooked episodes in Williams’s heroic career. The Los Angeles Times’s Ryan Parker collects several here. There are so many good ones out there it’s hard to pick a favorite. I’ll just say the one below is one of the good ones.
