[See NewsBusters for more.] Unlike the silence from NBC and most of MSNBC, Morning Joe's hosts actually covered the Brian Williams scandal. Despite the six month suspension for the Nightly News anchor, Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist on Wednesday aren't sure that the journalist will ever return to his old job.  Scarborough cited the close relationship with NBC Universal CEO Steve Burke and gossiped, "...Many people inside this building were speculating that Brian would actually get through this a bit better than he did because of his close relationship with Steve Burke." He added, "But six months without pay leaves a lot of people in this building to ask whether Brian will ever come back."
