chill.
Williams, and 99% of the people who work Nightly are the very essence of professional. With the exception of FauxNews, the same is true of the other netowrks...and gosh almighty, the vast majority of local anchors, reporters, and shooters I've worked with are a credit to the biz. If you hate broadcast news so much then do the rest of us a favor and stop reading or commenting here. And unless you're the ghost of Murrow, who are you to say Williams is "poor". As to the original poster, has it occurred to you, since you think Williams did something Brokaw would never do, that the reason The Greatest Generation stories ever even aired was because of Brokaws strong feelings on the subject? And that we, as fellow broadcasters and viewers are better off for it? If you are in the position to bring to air a story that might not otherwise ever see the light of day--and is worth it--for the better good, whatever that may be journalist wise, do it. If any of us have the power to (remember this?) comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable, do it. |

Actually, I'm being kind.
He simply does not know what the F--- he's talking about.
Brian was never the lead anchor at WCBS. He did work there, and did some anchoring--mostly at noon. But well before Bernie Smilovitz was there in the mid-90's.
Bernie was at 2 for a cup of coffee in 94-95, and Brian was already anchoring the NBC weekend shows.
Get it right, stooge.
