[See NewsBusters for more.] Don Imus and his co-host Bernard McGuirk on Thursday could barely contain their disgust at they highlighted Brian Williams's unraveling lie about being hit by a Rocket Propelled Grenade (RPG) while in Iraq in 2003. After playing video of the anchor repeating the falsehood on Late Night With David Letterman, McGuirk railed, "This is really, unbelievably disgraceful." Imus mocked, "[Williams] needs to be institutionalized." For years, the NBC Nightly News anchor has been publicly stating a Chinook helicopter he was riding was hit by enemy fire. It was not. Media Research President Brent Bozell called on Williams to resign: "Brian Williams has to go. NBC's credibility is completely shot." McGuirk echoed this growing sentiment: "He has got to go. He's absolutely got to go."
