Lyin' Brian suspended for 6 months

NBC has suspended Nightly News anchor Brian Williams for six months without pay, for telling a false story about being in a helicopter that was struck by a rocket-propelled grenade while  he was covering the war in Iraq, the network said Tuesday.  Weekend anchor Lester Holt will substitute. The LC sees the dexterous hand of  Deborah Turness maneuvering Lyin' Williams into quitting while he's  out of  the public eye. And NBC can  experiment with other anchors at weekends.
