That’s certainly a humbling-sounding situation, and it makes a lot of sense.
While arguably not quite as revered as a newscaster like Dan Rather, Brian Williams was one of the most respected personalities in the news game, especially in the oversaturated 24-hour news cycle world.
But after he was outed for having heavily altered his 2003 Iraq War helicopter story, the curtain was pulled back a little more on other exaggerations and inaccuracies he was guilty of making, which definitely sullied a lot of people’s opinions about him.
In that situation, the best thing for Williams to do during and after his suspension was just to keep apologizing and to get swallowed up by his work while taking every effort to show others that he remains worthy of trust and respect.
