NBC can't say goodbye to Brian Williams.

The "WE CAN'T LET HIM GO TO ANOTHER NETWORK" style of crisis management engaged in by NBC has erupted again with regards to exaggeration-prone former NIGHTLY NEWS anchor Brian Williams.

From a NEW YORK TIMES article http://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/18/business/nbc-plans-to-let-brian-williams-stay-but-not-as-news-anchor.html?smid=fb-share&_r=0
In February, Mr. Williams ranked as the 23rd-most-trusted person in the country, on par with Denzel Washington, Warren E. Buffett and Robin Roberts. By May, his trust ranking had plummeted to 3,352, near the rapper Eminem and the Playboy tycoon Hugh Hefner, according to the Marketing Arm, a research firm whose celebrity index is closely watched by media and marketing executives.
