Princeton, N.J. (FEBRUARY 5, 2015)―Recognizing that obesity remains one of the biggest threats to the health of our children, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) today announced it will commit $500 million over the next ten years to expand efforts to ensure that all children in the United States—no matter who they are or where they live―can grow up at a healthy weight. Building on a $500 million commitment made in 2007, the nation’s largest health philanthropy will have dedicated more than $1 billion to reversing the childhood obesity epidemic. Encouraged by recent signs of progress in turning rates around, RWJF views this investment as critical to building a Culture of Health in communities across the United States.

On Wednesday night, NBC News anchor Brian Williams apologized to the American people for lying for well over a decade about a heart-stopping war story starring himself.

Williams claimed for years that he had ridden a Chinook hit by an Iraqi RPG. Last night, Williams stated, \”I want to apologize. I said I was traveling in an aircraft that was hit by RPG fire. I was instead in a following aircraft.\” He then added, \”We all landed after the ground-fire incident and spent two harrowing nights in a sandstorm in the Iraqi desert.\”

Sadly, Williams’ apology is chock full of misleading statements and what appears to be at least one outright lie.

By stating that he was in a \”following aircraft\” and then adding \”we all landed,\” Williams makes it sound like he was next in a helicopter convoy. He actually arrived, according to members of the military, a full hour later, according to Stars and Stripes. And his statement that he spent two nights with the military is also fragmenting under scrutiny: military reporter Steve Liewer, who reported on the incident, said that crew members \”said they don’t remember seeing Williams again\” after his initial landing and coverage.
