Brian Williams is down, but not out.
NBC and Williams have come to a tentative agreement that will keep Williams at the network after his six-month suspension ends in August, people with knowledge of the agreement said.
It will likely be announced sometime Thursday.
Williams will not be returning to the “NBC Nightly News” anchor chair; his fill-in Lester Holt will become the program’s permanent anchor.
The appointment makes Holt the first black solo anchor of a weekday network nightly newscast.
So what will Williams do? His portfolio will include a position on MSNBC, NBC’s struggling cable news channel. “He will be the face of MSNBC,” handling big breaking news stories, one of the people said on condition of anonymity. MORE

So the network that’s at the bottom of the ratings war just bought themselves an even bigger shovel….

at this point, WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE ?!
Finally…somebody who can make Special Ed look good.

A “news” agency which keeps a proven liar?
Guess they’ve sort of outed themselves.

I’d heard he founded MSNBC.
Well if they’re right it shouldn’t come as any surprise since Williams has never been a journalist it’s only right that he ends up at a news network that hasn’t any. Look for MSNBC to tie themselves around Williams and make him the focal point their network.
