Prospects fading for 'NBC Nightly News' anchor Brian Williams' return
Many in the media business believe that the future looks bleak for suspended "NBC Nightly News" anchor Brian Williams.
NBC News executives are in the midst of an internal review into Williams' reporting, and it will be at least five more weeks before a decision is made on whether he returns. Williams was benched in February after falsely stating that he was in a helicopter that was hit by a rocket-propelled grenade during the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Speculation that Williams is a goner heated up last weekend after several reports based on unnamed sources said NBC's review found numerous situations in which the anchor publicly embellished statements about his reporting. Some competitors even suggested that NBC was behind the leaks as a pressure tactic to get Williams to resign and let the network reduce or get out of its contractual obligation to pay him more than $50 million over the next five years.
