I am sad to see her go; what I find sad is those who judge her harshly would not admit they have made mistakes and wouldn't want to be judged that harshly.

That turned out to be one expensive bowl of soup! It cost her job and her reputation with many people. She can get another job, it will be harder to win back her reputation.

Just part of a larger problem of those who think the rules don't apply to them.

The last report I saw her do was on peanut allergies. Her behavior was odd and she was slurring her words.

The new guy in charge of the NBC news division probably helped her make her decision to ""resign"".

Sure I've made mistakes. Haven't we all? But I don't think any of my mistakes had potentially dire consequences for public health and the safety of lots of people. And her total arrogance about it made it that much worse.

She has already taken another job in the academic world.

Count me as another one that feels that we all make mistakes but our mistakes don't have the potential to kill others and if she were a cameraman or some other profession, I'd be more understanding but she's a doctor!! My guess is they allowed her to save face and come back for a short while so her release would appear more gentle bc remember NBC's track record of letting people go hasn't been stellar. Remember Ann Curry's weepy goodbye from Today, Meet the Press' handover to Chuck Todd, now the Brian Williams and speculation whether he'll come back.

I think thats a wise decision, many were upset about her Ebola nightmare and wanted her fired.On a brighter note, I really liked Brian, but I think Lester Holt is great, he's working on The Nightly News and the Nightline dramas I love to watch. He's a busy guy!

What is up with her? She seems to have some issues.

You have focused on a very important point. I agree with your take on this.

Exactly....she blew a truly wonderful career on pure arrogance. I liked her a lot on GMA and then I began to read some of her reports were questionable... saw some changes which made me not trust her before she left GMA. How she behaved after the Ebola break out...just confirmed what I was beginning to read and see about her.

May be she'll end up at the network that shall not be named, lol.

I know a network that employs many blondes who are bright...have attended law school, were judges...taught at schools etc. and they are quite bight. One even has a top-rated program. I mean unless one believes because you are blonde...you are dumb?
