Alec Baldwin and George Stephanopoulos weighed in on the Brian Williams scandal on Baldwin’s WNYC radio show on Tuesday.
Baldwin, who spent seven years starring on NBC’s 30 Rock, theorized that the suspended anchor exaggerated his experience in Iraq as a way to appeal to NBC Nightly News’ “pro-military, conservative” audience. Williams was suspended by NBC News on Tuesday for six months after it emerged that he told a account about a 2003 incident in Iraq. Although he claimed the Chinook helicopter that he was riding in was hit by enemy fire, it emerged that he was in a helicopter that was an hour behind the one that got hit.
