Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Kua whakawehi a Brian Williams, te kaikawe NBC kua whakahawea ki te whakarere i te hongere 'he tino kino', e ai ki nga korero. E kore e whakaae te kaipāho 55-tau-tau ki te heke 'kaore he whawhai' i a ia e titiro ana ki te hoki ki tana pou i runga i te NBC Nightly News, e ai ki tetahi puna e tata ana ki te whatunga. I puta mai i muri i te whakakitenga mai o tētahi uiui ā-roto i kitea ai kua teka a Williams i roto i tana pūrongo kia pai ai tana titiro ki a ia i te iti rawa i te 11 ngā wā. Ko te kaikawe NBC kua whakahawea a Brian Williams (i te whakaahua) kua whakawehi ki te whakarere i tana wehenga mai i te hongere 'he tino kino', kua ripoatahia. I whakatārewatia ia i te marama o Hui-tanguru me te kore utu mo nga marama e ono i muri i te mea i puta mai ia i nga wa katoa i korero teka mo te mea i runga i te rerenga hoia i pa ki te RPG i runga i Iraq. I kii tetahi puna e kiia ana he tata ki te NBC ki te New York Post me pehea te kii a Williams 'kaore ia e hinga me te kore whawhai me te whakawehi kia kino rawa atu'. I tēnei wā kei waenganui a Williams i tana whakakorenga ono marama mai i ana tūranga hei kaikawe me te kaiwhakahaere o te Nightly News. I whakakapia ia e Lester Holt, e mau tonu ana i nga taumata. Kaore i te maarama mena ka tukuna e NBC a Williams ki te waahi o runga ka mutu ana te aukati. I hinga a Williams i te aroha noa i muri i te karanga a nga hoia tawhito ki a ia i muri i tana korero teka mo te noho i runga i te US US i pa ki te perehana rokiroki. Inanahi i pūrongotia e hiahia ana te tumuaki o NBC News a Andrew Lack kia hoki a Williams ki tana tūranga. Engari i whakahē tēnei i ngā whakapae o mua e hiahia ana ngā kaiwhakahaere o NBC ki te wehe atu i a Williams, ā, e ngana ana ki te whakawhitiwhiti kōrero mō tana wehenga. I kii tetahi puna ki te New York Daily News 'E whakapono ana a Andy (Lack) e hiahia ana nga kaimatakitaki kia hoki mai ia (Williams). 'Ko te mana'o ko te raru o (Williams) he nui ake ki te hunga papaho me etahi atu kairipoata kaore i ona kaimatakitaki - mena ka taea e Andy te rapu huarahi ki te whakahoki mai i a ia ki te rangi ka mahia e ia.' I tāpiri mai te pūtake e kore a Lack 'e whakatau i te mutunga o Williams kia oti ra ano te rangahau ā-roto o te whatunga.' I te Rātū, ka puta mai he pūrongo i roto i te Hollywood...
I whakamutua te kaikawe o mua o NBC Nightly News i runga i te korero teka mo Iraq. I kitea e tētahi uiuinga ā-roto i teka ia i roto i tana pūrongo i te iti rawa i te 11 ngā wā. E ai ki tētahi pūtake e tata ana ki te NBC e kore ia e kite i te mahi e tangohia atu ana i a ia me te kore whawhai.
