Twitter is unimpressed

Brian Williams return to NBC during live coverage of the tragic violence in Dallas was not well-received on social media.

…It was an inauspicious return for the former “Nightly News” anchor, just his third appearance on NBC since his six-month suspension in February 2015 for misrepresenting his experiences during the Iraq war.

As snipers targeting law enforcement officers brought an end to a previously peaceful protest regarding police violence, Williams called the events a “national emergency” and informed viewers that any reporting would be done through the “fog of war.”

…Many on the social media platform took offense at Williams’ characterizations of events as they took place, with some suggesting that his remarks were full-on irresponsible.
