Brian Williams Suspended for 6 Months without Pay

NBC is suspending "Nightly News" Anchor Brian Williams for six months without pay.

The network made the announcement Tuesday night, following the controversy over Williams' misleading the public about his experiences in the Iraq war.

Now debate is growing over whether Williams will be able to keep his position after his suspension is over.

Some analysts believe that Williams' long record of success in keeping NBC on top the nightly news ratings race is a factor in his favor.

On the other hand, they point out that news anchors and reporters are expected to be trustworthy.

It may be several months before anyone knows what Williams' fate will be.
