Brian Williams 'Officially' Gone from NBC News

Brian Williams still getting punished...as he goes to MSNBC.

NBC News Nightly News Anchor and major domo Brian Williams was suspended for six months without pay in February following a few (major) embellishments regarding his life experiences.

Contrary to what Williams may have believed, NBC News moved on along with its viewers and the larger world of journalism.

Those six months are up in August.

According to a story from CNN Money and various rumors around the media, Williams will not be coming back to the hallowed news desk of the Peacock; NBC News will keep Lester Holt at the desk, much to Williams’ chagrin.
