Cause and effect?
More viewers for NBC because O'Reilly has been lying and FOX News lost viewers?

Back to the mail room for Brian Williams?
This is good. Turns out the replacement is liked so much better that NBC stats have gone up since Williams was taken off as anchor.

NBC's viewers aren't missing Brian Williams.
Its Nightly News, with substitute anchor Lester Holt, averaged a first-place 10.1 million viewers last week, a 416,000-viewer advantage over ABC's World News with David Muir that widened slightly from the previous week, the first full week after Williams' six-month suspension, when NBC claimed a 398,000-viewer advantage. ABC averaged 9.7 million last week, while the CBS Evening News with Scott Pelley, a perennial third-place finisher, netted 8.5 million.
