Brian Williams’s Apology Over Iraq Account Is Challenged

For years, Brian Williams had been telling a story that wasn’t true. Wednesday night, he took to his anchor chair on NBC Nightly News to apologize for misleading the public.

On Thursday, his real problems started.

He has been anchor and managing editor of NBC’s nightly news show since 2004. Mr. Williams’s broadcast has long been considered a block of stability for the network. On Tuesday, NBC Nightly News issued a news release announcing that it was the top evening newscast in total viewers and the 25- to 54-year-old demographic for January for the second consecutive month.
