Brian Williams meantime, has been suspended without pay for six months by NBC, after admitting last week that a story he told about coming under fire while on a helicopter during the Iraq war was not true.  The suspension of the 55 year old star anchor comes after he voluntarily took himself off the air and NBC launched an inquiry.  NBC Universal chief executive Steve Burke said in a statement that “Brian has jeopardized the trust millions of Americans place in NBC News.”
