Brian Williams Will Receive Evening Show on MSNBC [UPDATED]
NewsBusters ^ | August 16, 2016 | Curtis Houck

Despite his fall from prominence due to serial lying and removal from the anchor desk of NBC Nightly News, current MSNBC breaking news anchor Brian Williams will be given another chance to rein over a daily news program when, according to CNN’s Brian Stelter, MSNBC awards him a half-hour show at 11:00 p.m. at a date to be determined.

Stelter reported late Monday night that Williams's program will be slated to run from Labor Day to Election Day and last for only a half-hour "wrapping up the day's campaign news, the sources said."

Of course, this brings to mind Williams’s long fantasy of dabbing into the late-night talk show scene, but it won't butt up directly against the shows of comedians Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, and Jimmy Kimmel.

For those unaware, Williams was a mainstay on MSNBC from its inception in 1996 for many years before adding fill-in and weekend duties at NBC Nightly News then taking the newscast's mantle from Tom Brokaw when he retired from the chair in 2004.

He might be given another news/fiction show to REIGN over, but I doubt he can REIN in his propensity to lie.

It will be called, "The Lyin' Brian & Hillary Pravda-Esque Show"...

More proof that MSNBC is FOS and only a propaganda tool for the globalists traitors. Ship them all to North Korea so they can delight in their totalitarian paradise.

It could be a Jeopardy! themed show where liberals choose fake news stories from different catagories.

I'll take Tawana Brawley for $100.00 Brian.
