As Twitchy reported, reality-challenged NBC News anchor Brian Williams issued a “personal note” today in which he revealed he’ll be stepping away from the anchor desk for a few days “due to my actions.” “Upon my return,” he wrote, he would rededicate himself to regaining the trust of his viewers.
As managing editor of NBC Nightly News, Williams is apparently in a position to suspend himself and return at will. But will a few days off the air help his case, especially if NBC continues its internal investigation and those blogger-types keep unearthing chopper whoppers like his recollection of looking “down the tube of an RPG that had been fired at us”?
Brian Williams is done. He should just resign instead of wasting everyone's time. @NBCNewYork

It's amazing how Brian Williams doesn't understand how this media slowburn works, he's done. Negotiate an exit and plan your comeback.

Brian Williams is done. Things are likely to get worse. They certainly will not get better.
He lied.
Repeatedly.
Period.

Brian Williams career is over. He can see the writing on the wall. Stick a fork in his worthless career. Now it's done.

@thetoyman1 My money is on Brian Williams not coming back. He is done. Why'd NBC want the distraction?

He'll return. To clean out his desk "@dankennedy_nu: What’s the over/under on whether Brian Williams ever returns from his hiatus?"
