A Message From Brian Williams
https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017692603

In tonight’s “Last thing before we go” we hear a message from Brian on his career at NBC.

[PortTack]

13. In another thread ppl speculated he's moving to cnn. That would be sad for sure

CNN is owned by the rt wing media machine, they will stifle him.

[Piasladic]

14. I don't get the appreciation

I tuned in one night, and he was ragging on HRC and then some. I actually wondered if he was drunk. His snark is often caustic.

[AngryOldDem]

15. Not a fan. At all.

He should have been straight-up fired when all his lies came out years ago — it should have ended his career. I’m an old-school journalist and I don’t take ethics lightly. His holier-than-thou attitude since his second act has been grating, especially on election nights.

Good for him for being able to take time off to decide what comes next. I’m of the same age, but burned out and stuck. I wish I could do that.
