Brian Williams is a big fat liar MEGATHREAD

Brian Williams is definitely done, and I suspect NBC Nightly News will follow (or face a serious revamp). That said, it isn't the end of NBC or Comcast, and if Nightly News does remain, the next person to helm it will likely come from outside NBC's ranks (or be Rachel Maddow). This might also affect MSNBC, leading to a less liberal friendly program and sacking/reassignments for Al Sharpton, Lawrence O'Donnell and Rachel Maddow in favor of actually reporting news.

NBC's entertainment and sports divisions should face minimal if any effects.

Sad. Lester Holt Katie Couric obviously deserves the job.

Time to get rid of Matt Lauer too.

Yeah, if they're getting rid of Williams, they probably should get rid of Lauer. While he doesn't fudge his news (that we know of), he's just as unprofessional and a terror to other employees. Maybe they should have Al Roker host today instead...
