#2

Yes he was a very good Anchor/journalist in his earlier years.

But as some may remember. He was outed for lying and then demoted for fabricating a collection of stories during the Iraq War. Which got him sidelined for 6 months. On return booted out of NBC, exiled to the MSNBC (2015-->2021) group, never to regain his past fame and viewership.

Note: This happen back in a time when the media still had "some" integrity standards.

#3 The problem in the media is not with being a liar. The issue is not being a believable liar. Brian needed to stick to the scripted lies.

I look forward to reading the fact checks of his autobiography.

#4 ..that was when there was still a population of 'newshounds' that grew up in the old era of trade. That is when it was apprentice, journeyman, and master type of development. Notice it all shifted with it became a 'credentialed' job and more and more of the 'talent' were products of academic environment.
