Let's be honest. No one really expected NBC News to slap Brian Williams with any serious punishment over his credibility-destroying Iraq war lies. Given that NBC has no problem tolerating the abject insanity of people like Al Sharpton, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews, and (for eight years) Keith Olbermann, Williams' "foggy memory" probably didn't even register. Even if they were interested in dealing with the problem, it'd be like trying to spot one particular flake in a snowstorm.
