Bri Wi will be missed. He was the perfect anchor for the previous administration. I will miss is shadiness and dry wit.
I’m trying to remember, but wasn’t there some sort of controversy with him? He lied about something didn’t he…might have to go google it.
I think he exaggerated news stories he was involved in or placed himself in the location as it happened, instead of just reporting the facts.
Instead of ‘a tornado tore through Townsville’, he would report ‘I was there on Main St, as a tornado roared through Townsville. It was a close one folks.’ When was actually safe and sound in the TV studio the whole time.
Not really a stellar reputation to be known for, but I remember when that happened. I don’t watch him but I remember the backlash.
Yep, four situations, possibly five, that he lied about.
He did, on (I think) it was 11 occasions the network was able to document. That’s a pattern, and yet he’s still been able to work. Just another entitled man failing up. I’m a former print reporter who stuck to the facts on any piece I wrote*. There’s no excuse for what that man did. None.
*I changed industries so I could make more than $11.60 an hour, not because anyone caught me trying to be something I wasn’t.
Why do I love Di Caprio as a Jim Jones??
My first reaction was huh? But then I remembered photos I’ve seen of his Dad and yeah, I can see it.
I can see it too.
Harish Patel is the best part of Eternals
Hey remember his legal name is now “Ye”. He seems to be going on this whole “forgiveness” tour. Not sure what that is about…gimmick or real? Who knows.
@ ME, I read the link and I think that Kanye needs mental health. His actions of attacking Drake, Kim and everyone else that poses the slightest “insult” in regards to Kim or where his house is, is someone that is not dealing with reality. He wants to end the feud based on joining him in a concert for gaining freedom for a man sentenced to jail, but no apology was coming out of his mouth. No, Kanye wants to use Drakes popularity to boost the crowd size for the fundraiser but NOT apologize.
He should call Aaron, as they both seem to have no idea what the definition of an apology is.
For reasons that i absolutely cannot explain i thought “what does Aaron Carter have to apologize for?” (I’m sure there are things but nothing happening right this second you know?)
Brian Williams sucked. If he’d been a woman or person of a color he would’ve been cancelled loooong ago.
He was caught lying many times about being in locations on assignment that were not true when verified by other sources & eyewitnesses. One story he made up was seeing the Berlin wall fall.
On a shallow note I remember being shocked at seeing his face in the pages of People magazine for their annul sexy man issue (like sexiest journalist or something). Dude has a crooked wonky face, especially if you see a still photo of him face forward.
I don’t like picking apart someone’s looks but I’ve heard women gush about how handsome he is.
Is Wonky Williams like white guy handsome or something?
White guy grizzled is more like it!!! Not hot, ever!
To each his own, I think he is gorgeous! His presence on late night TV helped me through the awful Trump years. Especially after the 1/6 insurrection, his steady demeanor felt reassuring.I’ll miss him, but hope he has a great retirement.
Another season of Luther is coming. Idris confirmed on his social media they are currently filming.
I.
Cannot.
Wait.
Soon I hope. The sooner the better.
Surprised it is Williams retiring, when it is clear Andrea Mitchell is the one who can no longer handle an anchor role. Expected Mitchell to leave first.
She DEFINITELY needs to retire YESTERDAY.
Williams still has his wits, which he has used to excellent effect during the Drumpf years.
He just referred to the QAnon Shaman as “shirtless Chewbacca.”
I don’t like her or Chuck Todd. I wish Williams were staying instead of them. He’s good at it, whatever he might have done in the past.
Agree a thousand times! Andrea is getting cranky, and she’s just not sharp anymore. I’ve never understood how Chuck Todd remains on the air. He bores me senseless.
If anyone else had ” misrepresented ” the truth and been caught at it so many times, they would be out on their butts so fast. The fact that Brian Williams continued his employment for many years leads me to wonder if he knew too much and it was cheaper and avoided airing dirty laundry just to keep him on in a diminished role.
All I could think is this dude has been ‘retired’ every since he was called out for fabricating news stories. We all make mistakes, but there is no doubt that it did hurt his credibility as a serious journalist.
Brian Williams was on track to be among the highest echelons of television news broadcasters but his lies got him canceled for quite a while & he was only able to get a show during the WORST time period….I will say this…I stayed up later…JUST to see what magnificent outfit he was wearing…cause WHOEVA his stylist & tailor is…they deserve ALL THE AWARDS…even the material of his clothes screamed BIG MONEY 💰 on the screen & the fit is IMPECCABLE…and he RARELY triggered me by caping for facism like so many of his cohorts…and his mouth was OFF THE CHAIN at times…and he could run a guest panel like NOBODY’S BUSINESS!
I will miss him.
