He is/was the Managing Editor, Not just the guy who reads the teleprompter and sounds classy. The buck stops at him.

Yes.
Fox's confirmation bias far surpasses all other Cable News Outlets. They generally don't even try to give all the facts, numbers, or sides (crazy surfer dude vs. Harvard educated debater) on a story and purposefully hide them - it's straight to the "expert" contributors who spew "I feel" and "I believe" + more confirmation bias and every other logical fallacy under the sun then cut to Ostomy/Arthritis/Obamacare alternative/Gold advertisement.
Let's figure out the metrics for being slanted and investigate, I have no doubt Fox News wins.
Edit: Don't get me wrong. Cable News is all around crappy, but Fox News is really the gold standard of shit.
It's a matter of degree that varies depending on the show; although, CNN has slowly become terrible and barely reminiscent of news. Its bias seems to be the lowest common denominator that has a chance of bringing in viewers, except for Fareed Zakaria <3
We are to discuss how awful Brian Williams is and nothing else! This is a sacred thread dammit!

read the OP, i dont watch fox news. i watch nbc nightly news when i am home at that ime, which isnt too often, otherwise i watch the 10pm newscast on ch11 or abc at 11. havent watched fox news since the lovely people of ferguson started "protesting" after wilson was not indicted. your views on "truth" a news channel tells is biased by your political viewpoint. gilgamel has it right. all the news networks are shit. your news channel is shit, no matter what channel that is.
none of this has anything to do with bryan williams and his propensity to "exaggerate".

Give some examples of stories FNC is making up out of whole cloth please (notice I'm using FNC instead of fox news to untwist chuck's panties. I'm pretty sure he won't know they are the same).
Anyway, my crackpot theory is that he's being sacrificed to take the heat off of hillary. She's been getting shit on lately for her stolen valor stories (like landing under sniper fire). So, they throw him up on the altar, get everyone worked up, let his head be the one that rolls, and then people will get bored with the entire thing before any votes are cast.
