Tom Brokaw was the biggest loss daily media has seen in decades and hasnt been the same since. Everyone else is just trying the fill the void.

While this is true, most other journalists still manage to be far worse.

He intentionally lied. He was never under fire. There was a formation of 3 helicopters “about an hour” ahead of the helicopter Williams was riding in. One of those 3 helicopters was hit by an RPG & forced to land. His helicopter never took fire, much less hit by a RPG, as Williams later tried to claim. Everyone there agreed his helicopter never took fire.
Don’t talk about stuff you know nothing about.

He was probably a good guy who made a stupid mistake


You got it wrong.

I see the mistake you made though.
You have to pay more attention to the details.
However, I am positive you won't.

His story was disproven, what is there more to know?

Whatever it was that he did, he’s still vastly superior to all other so-called journalists out there nowadays. He is a very high standard for journalists to look up to. We need more people like him.

I mean, CNN had a journalist who actually was a cannibal so clearing that bar isn't even a given.
