One would think, but as I listen to the Kelly File last night NBC is number one in National Broadcast news. After the Gregory and disaster at the morning show, Management may bring him back IF he can get people to trust him again. This is a big if, because using the analogy of marriage, Williams did not drink too much or stay out late, he committed adultery.
I will also add if there is a shake-up at NBC news and if the management that suspended him is not there in six months, there he is not coming back.
One final note, Williams was not the only one exaggerating Katrina and many other never fact checked reports. Katrina was a PR disaster for Bush, the public lost trust in him and that lost trust spilled over into handling of Iraq. This is why these stories and failure to fact check are serious. I wish others would also be held accountable for Katrina coverage.
“”I carried a case of Vienna sausage ... as collateral in case we had a smash-and-grab carjacking. I was going to offer it to someone in exchange for my life.”
That product has pork in it, and was going to trade it for his life to a Muslim?
Yea, right!
Hillary will keep the seat warm until Barack can step into the host/hostess role.
Don’t they often say, “has left to pursue development” on some newsmagazine project that never airs? “I’ve got your back as long as you sign a non-disclosure agreement don’t vent against your former employer”?
I do not know about that though. This may have damaged the NBC news brand and now with sources such as Fox News, Fox Business, Drudge, Free Republic, etc., why bother to have even network news now, just saying.
Plus it was all over the moment that Tom Brokow called for Brian Williams to quit. Remember the NBC Nightly News was his baby with the book “ The Greatest Generation.”
Williams will be replaced with someone even worse.
This guy was being paid $10 million a year, he oughta just slide away into a hammock and then he can continue his career in fiction by writing his autobiography.
PROBABLY.
One aspect of this story has not been discussed and that is the ownership of NBC by COMCAST.
The family that ran/runs COMCAST are supposedly pretty straight laced(even if they are left wingers) and I do not think they would be very supportive of Brian’s lying.
This twerp is GONE!
Brian can step down - or NBC can become officially a joke...
