NBC suspended Brian Williams without pay for six months. The without pay is a no brainer. Paying a guy for lying would have creating a wave of bad publicity. And, they get to look like they're playing hardball (no pun on Mr. Thrill up the leg intended).
But if NBC really was committed to protecting their so-called integrity, they would've canned Williams. Now, they're just seeing what the ratings do over the next six months; and they're leaving the door open for Lyin' Bryan.
NBC is playing the public for fools. They're hoping that we're apathetic assholes who will just shrug our shoulders and say 'well he paid the price.' They are basically making a statement about what we all know about them already: 'On-air honesty is over-rated anyhow.'
