Full Title:Brian Williams Tried and Failed to Secure a Promise That He Would Definitely Return to the Nightly News in Six Months, Claim NBC Insiders

Williams failed to receive any assurance from bosses that he will be able to walk back into his old job when his six month suspension is done

Anchor has so far failed to comment but may now attempt to negotiate a settlement deal to leave NBC rather than wait til August

Williams had favored a short suspension that would allow him to maintain his position as managing editor 'That was never going to happen,' said a senior NBC official

And now the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend I'll say it clear
I'll state my case of which I'm certain

Exactly as I said. The suspension period of six months Was too Long being off the air por NBC News To Promise (Allow) His return. And was used in an effort to pressure him, time to dig up dirt in forcing him to resign. My only question is will he be collecting any money.

Well, there's always the What's The Frequency, Dumbkopf, Nightly News with Rather Williams

That's how they fire people where I work. They suspend them for a period X. Then a month into period X, they get a termination notice along with a COBRA letter. It's neater and cleaner that way. Alliances remaining are allowed to calm down and they don't make a fuss. A new crisis is brought to the surface which gets everyone working together without the terminated person. New alliances are struck.

Repeat.

Now, if only this would happen to Obola (and Hitlary)! Send Williams to the UK. After all, after we took their turd Piers Morgan. Turnabout is fair play!

It’squite the incredible joke the way NBC uses words like being “worthy of your trust”, news credibility, confidence in our news reporting capabilities, like they actually meant anything to these left wing, liberal sociopaths.

Does this mean no more stupid "Slow-jamming" the news with Jimmy Fallon?

BTW, Brian Williams looks like such a dork in that above video.

They should bring him back in six months and have him empty wastebaskets around the office and fill the copier machines with paper and toner.

Brian,

Take a hint, take a hike. As they used to say back in the depression era, “If you find work, write.”

Jon Stewart has resigned as of Sept. Coincidence?
Semi-news, sounds about right.

Hope it’s not the current ‘anchor’ Lester Holt. Although I guess it really doesn’t matter, I won’t be watching.

As Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman would say:

Time to say goodbye
Horizons are never far
Would I have to find them alone
without true light of my own with you
I will go on ships over seas
that I now know
No, they don’t exist anymore
It’s time to say goodbye

I dunno - the subtle signs were there, the blue dot on the forehead, the albatross hung around his neck, a “For Rent” sign on his office, the voodoo doll, the office door access card not working, the undertaker taking his measurements...

There was a time when this first came out, everyone got this CD as a present. Beautiful sad, rapturous!

"This is Ray Goulding reminding you to write if you get work"
"And Bob Elliott reminding you to hang by your thumbs"

Yep. Sounds like a good swap.
Can think of a Satirical news quiz where his amazing aptitude for far-fetched stories would give him a distinct advantage.
It isn`t actually a fair swap....Morgan is a Turd, this guy is a BS artist. The Later is at least funny in small doses. :)
