We'll never see or hear from whatshisname again. After six months he will quietly retire and fade away. He won't be starving, either. As Forest Gump would say, he's probably a GO-zillionaire.
I agree. NBC will take the CBS-Dan Rather route on getting rid of a pimple on their face. After six months and the furor dies down some, he will quietly retire and go to some never-heard-of-before-cable channel to do fake news and nobody will be the wiser. After Dan Rather left CBS, you never see him except on as an occasional talking head on some delusional panel of some rarely heard-of cable program.
If NBC does bring him back, what will they say? That he spent six months in liars rehab and now we can trust what he says again? Once a liar, always a liar. People don't trust dishonest people because....well....because they are dishonest.
