Carole Simpson: Brian Williams ‘Has Got to Go’... ‘Tarnished’ NBC’s Image

‘Regardless to what’s out there in the ether, they can’t bring him back’

SIMPSON: "I think Brian Williams has got to go, and I think Andy Lack knows that he has to go."
SESNO: "And you say that why?" 
SIMPSON: "I say that because NBC's image has been tarnished by its anchor making exaggerations and fabrications about his exploits. How can you believe a network whose major anchor of the flagship broadcast, you can't trust what he's saying?"
SESNO: "What do you make of these stories, Carole, that have come out? And I say this because I know you know something of network intrigue and how network execs think or don't think or whatever you want to think of these leaks that have been coming in the press that, well, he shouldn't be back, he should be back?"
SIMPSON: "I -- well, you know, it's the question of, is it about the money or is it about the news and the integrity of the news?"
SESNO: "So, are these just trial balloons to see how the audience might react?"
SIMPSON: "I don't know, Frank. I just -- I just know how people leak things. And there are people with certain interests on one side or the other. And so they try to put forward their position. But regardless to what is out there in the ether, they can't bring him back. They can't have him back. I'm sorry."
