Standards are just different today I guess. Sadly.

Fox had their big brouhaha with their so-called Muslim "no-go zones" in France and the UK. Apologies sufficed for them, but I'm not sure that anyone actually expects credible news from them (hell, they still employ Geraldo Rivera).
The big 3 networks have a journalistic legacy and the public has different expectations from them. I'm not convinced that Williams won't be shown the door soon. He should have the dignity and grace and resign forthwith.
