Tom Brokaw wants Brian Williams fired

NBC’s most revered journalist is furious that Brian Williams is still in the anchor chair after he sheepishly admitted he hadn’t traveled on a helicopter hit by enemy fire.

“Brokaw wants Williams’ head on a platter,” an NBC source said. “He is making a lot of noise at NBC that a lesser journalist or producer would have been immediately fired or suspended for a false report.”

'free news' Americans have easy (no computer)access to.

fox lies a million times yet RW never calls for them to be removed.

Except when a fox idiot-mouth like Palin, irritates the 'fox main man' so much, he screams about palin "costing fox a million a year" & they dump her off her fox contract renew.

If he's so outraged, why didn't he do something about it then? He certainly had the pull.

“Tom Brokaw and [former NBC News President] Steve Capus knew this was a false story for a long time and have been extremely uncomfortable with it,” the source said.


Besides, if asshole Tom Brokaw is against Williams, that just makes me more sympathetic to Williams.

Tom Brokaw is a worthless POS, but he's right about this.

Now what needs to happen is for somebody to discover some big lie that Tim Russert told, then Brokaw will start to clamor for Russert's dumbass kid to be fired in retaliation.
