NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams has been suspended for six months without pay following his false claims about an experience he had during the Iraq war, NBC News president Deborah Turness announced Tuesday night.
"We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately," Turness wrote in a memo to staff. "We let Brian know of our decision earlier today. Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News."

After watching the videotapes of his story telling, he is obviously a pathological liar.It comes to naturally for him.
I don’t know, my money is on Al Sharpton lol.
now they just need to suspend themselves’for six months without pay.
they all knew he was lying and they only thought they at nbc would benefit.
he should be fired.
he’s worthless now.
the whole nbc hierarchy should balls up and fire themselves. they knew.
Now he can work on the cure for ebola.
He was at the Ford theater when J. W. Booth tried to kill him. Unfortunately, Booth missed and hit President Lincoln instead........It’s true, Williams wouldn’t make this up.
The reality is that a six month suspension is a lifetime in TV News and television.
Regardless of who they put on whether it be Lester Holt or Savannah Gutherie they will erode viewers and that will open ABC's David Muir to make some serious inroads into NBC.
Look for the top management at NBC to be shown the door very soon and my guess is that Brian Williams will not be back at all.
Ok but what about the bonuses? The club memberships and numerous other perks he no doubt received as part of his compensation? Does NBC match his 401 K contributions? It’s all rhetorical because Im sure missing out on 6 months salary is not a big deal for him. For all we know he’ll get it all back when he returns to work and his salary is suddenly increased.
What about his contract. Sounds like a paid lllike vacation. Old Luster huh? he he he, bullet proof!
Brian Williams
This is assinine on at least two levels.
1. He is a liar, therefore why would you bring him back?
2. They’ve known about his excursions from the thruth forever. Why the feigned indignity now?
Typical liberal, you’re only in trouble because you got caught...wink wink.
Might be worth watching, then. Just for the trainwreck factor alone.
Anyone remember Dan Rather’s lies which prompted his retirement. The democrat press is corrupt and there is nothing they say that is truth. Those are the facts.
Loyal “Fans” of NBC Nightly News won’t eagerly await his return? He narrates the news so well. /s
The multi millionaire gets to enjoy his wealth he got by being a liar for six months.
Then he gets to go back to getting millions of dollars for lying.
And give up that salary?
Now can star in movie about brave
heroic TV personality in the
infantry,American Anchorman
Oh come on. You are acting like he is KELVIN COCHRAN!
No Sec of State position for him?
Her first special can be about how fire doesn't melt steal.
Are Kalid Sheik Mohammed and Rosie related?
