The media has always lied in support of wars. The moment reporters started getting embedded with troops, they were then at a conflict of interest to make legitimate reports.
This started way back in Vietnam.

um ..... this has nothing really to do with war reporting - this has to do with creating a blatant lie to make a network news anchor appear to be daring and heroic to win the admiration of TV viewers and boost the ratings of Williams and NBC Nightly News.
