"....To make matters worse there are also now reports that senior executives at NBC News, including legendary anchor Tom Brokaw who Williams replaced in 2004, knew the story was false.
‘Tom Brokaw and [former NBC News President] Steve Capus knew this was a false story for a long time and have been extremely uncomfortable with it,’ an insider told the New York Post.
Now Brokaw, 74, has had it and wants Williams fired, the Post claims.
Senior executives had in the past asked Williams to stop telling the story in public, reports Variety.
Despite his credibility being called into question, Williams still took the anchor’s seat for his Nightly News broadcast on Thursday evening but unlike on Wednesday he didn't address the issue during the broadcast.
'Brokaw wants Williams’ head on a platter. He is making a lot of noise at NBC that a lesser journalist or producer would have been immediately fired or suspended for a false report,' said the source......"
By that standard, 3/4ths of MSNBC ought to be fired.

If true, then Brokaw is as guilty as Williams.
Brokaw wants him fired to shut him up from further lies being uncovered which makes Brokaw an accomplice to the deceit.
Yes Brokaw wants NBC to get back to the long-accepted practice of shading the truth and burying completely unacceptable (to the Hard Left) truths, rather (so to speak) than crossing over to lying outright at will.
So in other words, the brass at NBC *knew* Brian Williams was lying and didn’t fire him THEN?!
NBC, owned by Comcast, is fraudulent. I hope their ratings PLUMMET.
