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.

Lying, discredited “news readers” never disappear, they get jobs on PMSNBC.

I saw the tape when he coveted the assassination of Julius Cesar in March, 44BC, good to see him Bach with more of that fine reporting...

Since PMSNBC has passed Clinton News Network in the ratings, maybe the add of he who reported Hiroshima from ground zero in 1945 will add a glow to their broadcast.

Funny thing, as well as sad thing about this is Williams might be the most honest one of the bunch. He just got caught.

If only The Donner Party would’ve listened to him when he told them not to take the short cut.

Pulling out a lying traitor bastard to run interference for Queen Hillary.

I hope Trump is VERY selective about who he approves for moderators of those debates. I KNOW HE has the testicles to slap them down if they try to railroad him, unlike that cornuto Eunuch Romney.

If I were Brian Williams I'd be royally PO'd about this whole "fall from grace" thing. Sure, he lied. But he works for NBC News, they lie about everything all day, every day. And he knows it!

I think if I were him I'd go in and make an ultimatum: "put me back on OR I apologize publicly for all the lies I've told. And I do mean ALL. Get my meaning?"

Actually, maybe that's how he got a new show after all.

Frankly, he isn't any worse that 90% of the news readers/reporters out there. The reporters covering Trump are in effect lying continually - and they are praised by their colleagues.

“” 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.”

A leftist propaganda show, that’s all it will be.

Why not give him a show after all the crap the media has shoveled the last two weeks Brian looks like Pope John Paull II ethically.
