How can any reputable news outlet continue to put Brian Williams

in a position where he will be delivering news to the public? Why is this man still working in this profession? It is an insult to me that all day long with the regular run of the mill 'breaking news' they allow the regular old anchors handle that delivery but for the 'NO, we really mean it this time, this is seriously breaking news' kind of news, they trot out the liar Brian Williams..I mean, come on now...how long can they credibly do this?
