Thought Williams was the perfect replacement for Brokaw on _NBC Nightly News_. He’s a great newsreader but he’ll never live down the “lyin’ Brian” controversy. His credibility and audience trust in him evaporated after that episode. I never warmed to Lester Holt and prefer David Muir on ABC these days. ---

I was annoyed NBC dumped Brian from Nightly News but I think Lester has been great. So Brian exaggerated a few things, big deal. News is full of it these days. I was happy they gave him another chance on MSNBC though and he redeemed himself there. Brian is excellent with breaking news and elections. It wont be the same without him. ---

And he’s gone, It’s a shame since I really like Williams and he was by far the best of the cable news hosts I followed over the last few years. He didn’t go OTT like most of the Fox News crew do nor does he come across as overbearing as some of the CNN hosts can (though I like Taper and Blitzer) he was also pretty good in some of the main channel anchoring I have seen him do mainly from when he was #2 behind Brokaw. ---
