In light of Brian Williams’ admission that he lied about surviving a rocket attack while reporting on the Iraq war in 2003, new questions are being asked of his reporting from New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
And it looks like conservative tweeter @SooperMexican was the first to post on Williams’ Katrina discrepancies, noticing that the embattled NBC News anchor told two very different stories of his time in New Orlenas. One version has him rescued by cops from a gang of thugs, the other omits this harrowing tale:

And thanks to “el Sooper,” MSM outlets like The Daily Beast, Politico and the New York Daily News are asking questions directly to NBC News:

oh boy: So did the 55-year-old Williams actually see a body float by from his five-star hotel room in the Quarter? http://t.co/OwNqW8XOIK

What makes el Sooper’s potential scoop all the better, is that it was Brian Williams himself who disparaged “bloggers in bathrobes” who comment on the news:
True story: Brian Williams mocked bloggers in bathrobes cuz he's been to Ramadi & you just have opinions about it. http://t.co/wlmwbuWgWl

Yes, Brian. Just “bloggers in bathrobes” that have the entire MSM questioning your reporting. Good luck with that.
