Tom Brokaw Sez Media Got His B-W Reaction Wrong

Tom Brokaw

Brian Williams is figuring out how "he's going to respond" to the controversy that has sidelined his career, according to his predecessor at NBC News.

Tom Brokaw was asked during an Sean Hannity appearance Monday on Fox News to promote his new memoir about the turmoil that has engulfed NBC and Williams for the last three months.

Williams has made no public statement since he was suspended in February for telling an embellished tale about a helicopter mission in Iraq.

After the controversy erupted, NBC launched an internal investigation of Williams. The probe has reportedly rounded up at least 10 exaggerations told by the anchor.

However Williams ends up responding, all indications are that the saga will reach its conclusion in the near future.

CNNMoney reported late last month that NBC's decision on Williams' fate was still weeks away.

During his interview Monday on conservative pundit Sean Hannity's Fox News program, Brokaw reiterated what he said last month, urging media observers to let NBC's "process" play out.
