Alec Baldwin: ‘Brian Williams Only Lied to Please
Conservatives’
by Kipp Jones 5 Mar 2015New York, NY
Alec Baldwin took to
the airwaves this week to present his theory as to what motivated NBC Nightly News’ anchor
Brian William’s penchant for tall tales, and
according to Baldwin, some of the fault lies with conservatives.
“I have a theory,” the actor said on his WNYC
radio show Wednesday morning, before connecting the American Sniper
audience with a faction of Nightly News fans, whom he says are only pleased by
pro-military nationalism.
He told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos: “My theory about
Brian was that because Brian’s audience is an audience that’s a middle-class,
conservative, moms and pops that aren’t walking around with their devices in
their hands all the time… they say… my news, Brian tells me what the news is.”
He continued:
Brian, I think, fell even unconsciously victim to something,
which was wrapping himself in the flag and in the glory of the military to
please his audience. He kind of got a little drunk…
I see his language and I see the way he plays it out and I
try to understand people as an actor, like what they’re going through, and I
thought, ‘He’s trying to communicate to people here. He’s trying to tell them
something.’
I think his crowd happens to be a very pro-military,
conservative crowd. I mean, six o’clock news on NBC … it’s an older, more
conservative crowd.
Stephanopoulos kept a safe distance from Baldwin’s
speculative remarks, but did offer that he felt Williams was merely trying to
“connect to people through stories.”
Brian Williams was suspended from
his Nightly News post by the network for a period of six months, without
pay, for falsely claiming he was on a helicopter that was hit by RPG fire
During the Iraq War in 2003.
