Brian Williams has been rebuked by MSNBC for being “patronizing” to the network’s biggest star, Rachel Maddow.
After Williams hijacked Maddow’s show to break the Syria missile news earlier this month, he turned to her live on air at the end of the segment and said,“Thanks for visiting tonight. Glad you were a part of our coverage.”
Viewers — who were already mad that MSNBC slipped “Lyin’ Brian” in to break the news when Maddow was already at the anchor desk talking about Syria — flipped out.
@Barbvas tweeted, “Annoyed to hear Brian Williams thanking Rachel Maddow for assisting with coverage — he took over her show!!”
Fans of Maddow — who has been enjoying a massive ratings surge recently — erupted on social media, also accusing MSNBC of being sexist by bringing in a male anchor to break the big news on Maddow’s 9 p.m. show when she could have handled it better herself.
To make matters worse, wily Williams also made a moron of himself by repeatedly referring to the bombs as “beautiful” on the April 6 broadcast.
A source at the network said, “Not only did Brian go way over the top with his coverage of the missile strike, he then totally patronized Rachel by thanking her for ‘visiting’ her own show and being ‘a part’ of his ‘beautiful’ coverage! Has he not learned anything from ‘Misremember-gate’?”
Williams was fired from NBC Nightly News after he was suspended for six months in 2015 after he famously “misremembered” his experiences during the Iraq War. He was bumped to MSNBC as a breaking-news anchor — who can apparently pop up in anyone’s show and say whatever he likes — as well as hosting an 11 p.m. wrap-up hour.
Sources said MSNBC chief Phil Griffin was furious with Williams’ disdainful treatment of Maddow. According to a source, “Phil gave Brian a very stern rebuke, telling him, ‘Don’t you ever do that again.’ But Rachel didn’t seem bothered by it and just laughed it off.”
An MSNBC rep declined to comment.
Williams must be under the mistaken idea that Obama is still president.
With a Republican President in the White House bombs are now ugly and repugnant.
There's problem #1: If Rachel Maddow is their biggest star, they have more troubles than Lyin' Brian.
"... Maddow — who has been enjoying a massive ratings surge recently — erupted on social media, also accusing MSNBC of being sexist "
That takes the cake. Isn't Maddow supposed to be a gender neutral person?

I thought everyone knew she was the guy that played Balki on Perfect Strangers.
In Williams’ defense, it’s hard not to be patronizing to an idiot.
Rule #1 for the media (including Fox News!): If you’re a white man you’re already on probation. Unless you’re a homosexual.
If he wasn’t trying extra hard to be nice, they would say he was ignoring her and ‘shutting the woman out’ of the newsroom.
Rachel deserves respect for being the only person brave enough to release Trumps IRS forms to the world
If anyone said what really should be said to the MadCow then the libtards would totally melt down.
Rachel the Maddyke got her curly hairs in a knot. Sniff. I’m not sure who or what is more disgusting, little brian or Maddyke. Both of them are liars, but brian is more public about it.
A couple of fake news’ers cannibalizing each other.
Let them eat....
Brian Williams: The Al Gore of the leftist media. Extreme arrogance combined with insane understanding of reality and facts.

White liberal problems...
He probably wants to get in her pants. Sorry Brian, a butch dyke got there first.
No, she’s homosexual. She, unlike Bruce Jenner, for instance, at least realizes that she’s a woman.
How Brian Williams can even show his face on TV after the astounding lies he told on the air before...anyone else would have gone into hiding and had plastic surgery, to prevent the general public from recognizing and mocking him.
If we have to deal with Shep, they have to deal with Brian.
