I really don’t care for the way Lester reads aloud. Everything he has done for IDTV makes it sound like melodrama...and these were real events. I cannot imagine his ad lib ability or his capacity for real critical thought. Not worth $100,000 muchless 100x that.

All that for reading words written by someone else? I’ll do it for $500,000.

I like Lester Holt. His tone and manner are authoritative without being smug, and we do not get any glimpse of his politics.

Williams is making $10 Mil a year.
Holt makes $4 Mil a year.

And yet, these idiots gleefully read aloud the Democrat/Soros Hate propaganda against CEO’s making over $1 Mil a year...

Hypocrite much?

“Lester’s team feels that if he gets half of what Williams was making, the message to him and the newsroom is he’s half the anchor Brian was.”

He's gotta come up with a better story that that!

Holt is currently being paid about $4 million per year as the “Nightly News” weekend anchor and for other assignments.


paid $77,000 per week

paid to spew Obama Cult crap to the diminishing audience who listens.

The hilarious part: he wants his pay to be increased to $192,000 a week.

Is that a whiff of race card on the breeze? Holt sure wants a fast track to the big money, eh? He’d best not get too pushy, or to paraphrase that old WKRP quote: “And now, more [news] and Les Holt...”

I rarely watch NBC, but when I do,, I have always thought Lester Holt was just as good, if not better, than Bran Williams.

So, my vote is give Lester the same offer in salary as BW got.

And he will do stories about the rich getting richer.
He will tell you to cut back.

These talking heads are grossly overpaid.

Williams was not worth minimum wage.

Don’t hire him, NBC. Send him back to ID, which I watch. I think he does a good job there. I will never see him on NBC, which my TV never shows.

(Well, maybe if there is a sports event presented there.)

NBC needs a salary cap, just like the NFL and NBA.
