[See NewsBusters for more.] In the wake of a six month suspension for NBC anchor Brian Williams, ABC and CBS on Wednesday offered mocking coverage of their competitor's downfall. New York Times reporter David Carr appeared on CBS This Morning to deride: "...Everyone, including Brian, thought he was maybe too big to fail...Turns out he's not the most important thing." Although Carr allowed that the NBC anchor is "very likable," he snapped, "[Williams] made some very, very dumb decisions." Skeptical co-host Gayle King didn't seem to buy the idea that the veteran journalist could simply return in six months, wondering, "If we don't see him for six months, how can he redeem himself? How should he redeem himself? What can he do?"
