Brian Williams is out

Too bad Hilary and Richard Bumenthal weren't similarly held accountable.

I heard they're going to make a movie about the brave troops who were sent in to rescue Williams after his chopper as shot down, called "Saving Private Brian".

Next, he'll claim he was a cigar-chomping door gunner on the space shuttle, in the battle for Mars...

Jumped the gun, just stepping down for a few days...

I read an article recently,about a series on HBO that I don't watch, a young actress made recent headlines for doing a very graphic sex scene. It was Brian Williams' daughter, and I saw him interviewed about it, he laughed it off, saying that his family watched the episode with his daughter when it aired, that they all enjoyed it. It was very creepy, cannot imagine watching your daughter like that...

Have been a loyal watcher of NBC Nightly News @ 6:30 for years - even with the reduced quality of reporting (very biased Chuck Todd and Andrea Mitchell for example). If Brian Williams stays on I will likely switch. I'll stick around for Lester Holt - he seems to have some integrity remaining.

As for his daughter, well, I don't think Peter Pan makes it for his daughter's roll on HBO's Girls.

Speaking of HBO

It's not Porn, it's HBO.

The question is will Williams return after his 6 month sabbatical without pay?...
My opinion is the news station will find more miss truths and will pay him 5 mil and let him go....if it were anyone else they would have been fired on the spot...
