He makes over $12 million a year, that's a slap on the wrist. He should be fired period. And then sent to MSNBC for the rest of his career or until they go under which ever comes first.

So basically they said: “take and extended vacation and Les will keep you seat warm”.

And they’ll think America will forget all about him. When he comes back people will say “who’s that guy?”

So the multi millionaire gets to enjoy his wealth for six months, eh? Must be nice.

Good riddance. Perhaps this will keep the rest of the talking heads in check for a short while.

Six months will give NBC time to see if Lester Holt can handle the anchor job and time to find a replacement if he doesn’t pan out.

Brian Williams talks with Louisiana fisherman

"Uh, can any of you guys loan me $50?"

“this was a very hard decision. Certainly there will be those who disagree. But we believe this suspension is the appropriate and proportionate action”

Because basically integrity is not a big factor on our network and we had no idea people would get so upset about this.

Appears the Left is already starting to try to rehabilitate him. On Twitter:

“Of all the lies I’ve been told about Iraq, Brian William’s lie bothers me the least. #wmd”

They just don’t realize the lies were that no WMDs were found.

Actually, I think this is a big blow for Williams. He's been rich long enough that money isn't a problem. His serial self-inflating lying, however, points to a pathological need for approval -- and this suspension is a big stamp of disapproval.

On yet another hand, he may be delusional enough to come back in 6 months as if nothing ever happened.

I sense that the six month suspension will mean the end...of his career, at least at NBC,

I cant imagine anyone coming back from being shamed by their employer and performing very well. or having much or an audience

I think this is a sack.

Not fired? Do they understand that there is NO credibility in the news?

There are a couple of things that will result in instant termination: lying on a resume, and lying about your work.

Who the hell would listen to anything the news drones have to say at this point?

You Are There was a 1950s American historical educational CBS television program with Walter Cronkite. I recall that it "covered" historical events as TV covered contemporary news. I liked it. This was before the 1960s Cronkite.

Mr. Brian Williams could make use of his predisposition.. I Was There. Seriously. Could be a success.. if an honest attempt was made to present events without bias.

Whoa is us! We HAD to suspend him!

Hey, how about firing the liar jerk instead of just feigning trauma for suspending him?

I wonder if his contract just happens to expire in about six months. "Hi Brian, we have a new contract offer - $15 an hour minimum wage you love to clean the toilets."

That’s not for lying, that’s for getting caught
