Stuart Murray (@murraystu) January 21, 2013Did Brian Williams just say 'police state'? Progress!—

Yes, he did.
Says Brian Williams: "This city has felt like a police state the last two days. Now a shot of the newly named Freedom Plaza."—

Brian Williams has brought up DC's extreme security measures on NBC several times today. Called it "bit of a police state" earlier… (1/2)—

Just now Williams said he'd never seen a city "so thoroughly locked down." The subtext: is this really the kind of country we want? (2/2)—

@brianstelter He's right. Military units scurrying about the city for several days now. Making commuting difficult and anxiety in public.—

Setting aside his views about armed security, “real journalist” Brian Williams botched his basic facts. Again.
@bwilliams. My law firm is at 1275 Penn. it has been called Freedom Plaza for at least 7 years. #Inauguration #FactChecker—

@jocastlemiller "newly named Freedom Plaza"? It's been called that since before i was born. What is Williams drinking?—

What was he drinking? Maybe the same concoction he was imbibing when he called rocker Pete Townshend “Keith Moon?”
