[Nextrush]

Its a tried and true public relations “tactic” and I have seen this kind of thing come down as an ex-member of the MSM at a more localized level.....

I will continue my career-long effort to be worthy of the trust of those who place their trust in us.

HUH?!

"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."

What's he planning on accomplishing over the next couple of days? Finding Nicole Brown Simpson's real killer?

okay One more...

the thread needed a Crusader Tie-In!

The jokes are just too good, and plentiful. This will not go away and I believe he will have to leave. Besides, we need him to go over and defeat ISIS.

Dude’s been making millions of dollars a year, I’m sure his severance package is every bit as good as any CEO, and he probably gets full salary through the run of his contract. Some well-placed liberal will make a phone call and get him a no-show job until one of the other alphabet networks puts him on the air in a year or so. This won’t hurt him a bit.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Whoops, he’s only going on vacation next week. Just go back to reading the teleprompter, Bri, you’re worthless when you go off script.

Look for Lyin’ Brian Williams to fade out after 4 days and never return to Nightly News.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

He says he looked down the tube of an RPG in 2007—then the Marine grabbed it from him and said, “What the F@#$?!?!”

[xp38]

I have no Idea who that is. That said I have no idea who anchors the other alphabet evening news shows anymore either. I know Couric sank CBS for a while and is gone. Jennings is dead. Brokaw retired and Rather left in disgrace.

[Ditter]

Lester Holt is just a guy who stands in for Brian Williams. I don,t watch Brian Williams either I just see him signing off when I turn on the 6pm local news.

[rightistight]

Somehow I have a feeling that Williams will be welcomed back after he tells them that he single-handedly killed Osama bin Laden

[VideoDoctor]

This entire scenario is being orchestrated by NBC itself.

Williams is going to take a "time out" and then will be back as if nothing happened, much the same as Hillary.

[Nextrush]

Either its orchestrated by NBC or by Williams himself to preempt disciplinary action from NBC.

We’ll find out sooner or later what’s really coming down especially if NBC axes him......
