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 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.
