(San Franciso Chronicle) The NBC News anchor, father of Girls actress Allison Williams, was suspended from his NBC post for six months this week after he was exposed for lying about his experiences in Iraq, falsely claiming he was onboard a U.S. forces helicopter targeted by opposition gunmen in 2003.
A number of details in Williams' other reports over the years have since come under scrutiny, but Sheen insists he is standing by the journalist and has penned a tribute to the newsman in a series of Twitter.com posts.
Taking to the microblogging site on Wednesday, he writes, "First off, THANK YOU, for 24 years of inimitable professionalism and top shelf brilliance, as a stone cold passion driven and (PERFECTLY) fact based journalist."
