It's permanent for Brian (fanciful) Williams. Not coming back to NBC; not now, not soon, never.
He's officially relegated to MSNBC - a liberal among liberals where his audience will be counted on the fingers of a dozen hands. If somebody can find a chimp with that many:
Disgraced NBC anchor demoted black successor makes history - Yahoo News UK
"The 56-year-old Williams -- whose embellishment of an Iraq war story led to his suspension -- has been shifted to sister cable network MSNBC, where he will take over as anchor of breaking news and special reports in mid-August."
"Williams was suspended in February for six months and saw his work investigated after he admitted changing a tale about coming under fire and amid accusations that he stretched the truth on other occasions."
Tempting though it might be to consider his replacement a triumph of EEO run wild that would not be necessarily true. I've watched Lester Holt a few times and felt he was really trying to be honest - while remaining, of course, within corporate guidlines.
"Lester Holt -- who has been filling in for Williams -- will permanently take over as anchor of NBC Nightly News, in a breakthrough for black journalists."
Was there really any need for Yahoo.news to bring his race into it? But they did and now it's in play.
