Brian Williams suspended for it, but everybody embellishes

FILE - In this Nov. 5, 2014 file photo, Brian Williams speaks at the 8th Annual Stand Up For Heroes, presented by New York Comedy Festival and The Bob Woodruff Foundation in New York. Exaggerating one’s personal experiences or career accomplishments to make them appear more interesting isn’t uncommon behavior, but in the era of the Internet and particularly social media, it’s not nearly as easy to get away with. Williams is currently serving a six-month suspension from the anchoring the NBC Nightly News for embellishing his wartime combat experiences.
