One of the interesting things about this is there is no set date for return, he said. It is ambiguous, which suggests that NBC executives are going to undertake a full investigation and not let him back on the air until that investigation is complete. "

"The evening broadcast has remained a stable block for NBC even as its Today and Meet the Press shows have faced challenges. As such, top executives have not focused on succession planning for the NBC Nightly News because it did not appear necessary. In December, the network extended Mr. Williamss contract. The terms were reported to be as much as $10 million per year for five years."

In my opinion, Logan's elaborate fabrications on Benghazi are fair material in judging her lack of integrity and scheming with regard to smearing the Obama administration.
Williams' integrity is also called into question here.

He lives in the New York - what kind of moral turpitude, outside incest or cannibalism, would be considered 'base' or 'vile' here?

(60,010 posts)You can bet plenty of people are looking at that, plus other claims he has made.
He said he saw floating bodies from his hotel window in the French quarter, even tho the French quarter did not have any flooding.
One of the many reasons why tv news has no credibility any longer.
I quit expecting real news when Cronkite left.

Besides, the media lies often and when they aren't lying they facilitate the lies of others.
