NBC NEWS WITH Brian Williams was nearly tricked by an Army press release stating that the new standard-issue headgear for soldiers would be a Stetson cowboy hat.
NBC ran a story despite it being an April Fool's joke.
I can't believe they fell for it! Or almost did. I would never believe anything anyone told me on April Fools. But at least they remembered the photo. That saved them from a lot of embarrassment. I give major props to the Army for this.

HmmM... I think that NBC could get away with it being April Fools but otherwise it was not appropriate for air.
