“NBC News is dawdling. They need to suspend Brian Williams and announce a process that includes press access and an internal investigation,” former MSNBC.com editor in chief Merrill Brown wrote on Twitter on Friday.
Williams has established his credibility over the course of decades, and he is beloved by many of the 10 million people who tune in for his nightly newscasts.

“It’s hard to see how Williams gets past this, and how he survives as the face of NBC News,” USA Today media columnist Rem Rieder wrote on Thursday.
