Brian Williams is stepping away from NBC Nightly News for several days.
The anchor sent a note to the show's staff, announcing that Lester Holt is replacing him this week. The news comes as the anchor is embroiled in a scandal surrounding his story about being a passenger in a helicopter that took fire in the Iraq War.
Williams' message can be seen, below.
"In the midst of a career spent covering and consuming news, it has become painfully apparent to me that I am presently too much a part of the news, due to my actions.
"As Managing Editor of NBC Nightly News, I have decided to take myself off of my daily broadcast for the next several days, and Lester Holt has kindly agreed to sit in for me to allow us to adequately deal with this issue. Upon my return, I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us."
More to come...

To Williams, being away from the camera for three days is like a lifetime. What a pathetic creep.
True, one suspects.
Also, from Wiki, Williams is a triple-college-dropout with a total of a mere 18 units accumulated from among the three schools.
A complete failure at everything; and (apparently) a complete progressive.
.
He’s stepping down only for a week...right?
You were expecting someone other than another fifth-column leftist media buttboy?!?
He has to have some time to get over to the middle east and wipe out ISIL...and then edit the video...to taste....
"White Privilege!"
He came clean because a soldier on the chopper posted on NBC’s FB page “Sorry, dude. You weren’t on the chopper I was on” or something like that.
It’s been pretty apparent for the last couple of days that this was coming. I mean, the guy’s been shamed in front of the whole world, and has lost every remnant of credibility. Ain’t no coming back from that, I’m afraid.
WHAT?!?!
Coward
Well, he can always join the MSNBC Freak Show now.
Williams told the story at a hockey game where some guys who had been there paid attention.
...The admission came after crew members on the 159th Aviation Regiment’s Chinook that was hit by two rockets and small arms fire told Stars and Stripes that the NBC anchor was nowhere near that aircraft or two other Chinooks flying in the formation that took fire. Williams arrived in the area about an hour later on another helicopter after the other three had made an emergency landing, the crew members said...
Someone on another thread linked it - http://floppingaces.net/most_wanted/brian-williams-likes-watching-his-daughter-film-sex-scenes/ . The more you learn about this freak the sicker it gets.
He won’t be back.
If Lester doesn’t get the job, it’ll be racist. The usual race hustlers, you know who I mean, will make a massive stink about it. Katy is making a play for the job too and she’ll rile up the glass ceiling bitches. This is gonna be good!
