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...

IOW, he’s going on paid vacation until this blows over.
I’m still reeling from reading he enjoys watching his daughter do porn. Puppies and choppers pale against that.
It’s for the best.
I love when the tables are turned LOL! Love to see these “untouchables” understand that the little guy is no longer silenced. We now get to share the truth with 100s of our FB friends or our twitter followers who go on to share it with their 100’s... I have an email friend who is 87 yrs old with a severe stroke. He served all his life in the military and he is now a keyboard warrior. Can’t type but he sure can source info and cut and paste and share it with his 100s of friends. Every day I wait to hear from Don what is happening and then pass it along.
To prove he is sorry, he should give me his daughter.
Wow. Didn’t see this coming. He’s one of theirs.
This is one day longer than I thought it would take.
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.

TPTB said “Brian, you are on hiatus till this blows over, IF it blows over...”
Knowing the general stupidity of a large segment of the public he may just be right.
I would venture a guess that a large segment of the public think the story is about Robin Williams.
Why wouldn't he? They always do.
If there is a fire anywhere Brian Williams will be there to save the children, and puppies because Lyin Brian is also a firefighter, a policeman, a marine all rolled into one
Good riddance
I just went to google images. I was going to post a huge collection of funny Brian Williams meme images.
They are actively censoring them!
Tried Bing...same story.
Tried “Brian Williams Liar” got a couple of funny images.
There has to be hundreds of great parody images of this guy floating out there..I have seen a few dozen.
No way is it just an accident that when you search images for “Brian Williams” pretty much no funny images turn up.
They probably will.

“He thinks that after 3 days, everyone will forget.”
Yes, they will. Probably most people have already forgotten about it ... or never knew it happened.
