NBC News Suspends Brian Williams

At Poynter, Benjamin Mullin offers this statement from NBC News president Debra Turness: "We have decided today to suspend Brian Williams as Managing Editor and Anchor of NBC Nightly News for six months. The suspension will be without pay and is effective immediately. We let Brian know of our decision earlier today. Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News. Our review, which is being led by Richard Esposito working closely with NBCUniversal General Counsel Kim Harris, is ongoing, but I think it is important to take you through our thought process in coming to this decision."

Question: Will Brian Williams still be radioactive in six months?
