He apologized so I see no issue with him working. I find his voice soothing. I have liked him since he popped up on 30 Rock.

RW radio and Fox have been after NBC and ABC (intimidation?) for 20+ years. They don't mess with CBS much for some reason.

I think he was just trying to get ahead. I used to love to watch him on late night shows, here's one.

I think he got screwed on that one fib he made. O'Liely got off scott free from his lies but Williams was really fucked over for not much.

He's a good reporter. Let's hope they leave him alone.
He sure as hell is better than fricking Greta!

You can do anything as a c0nservative and get away with it...ask Trump, even shot a person in the face. But THEY (c0nservatives) think you are the worst person in the world if you are 'Liberal'.

He constantly slips in little things favorable to Trump, and Republicans. Today he had a fainting spell over the protestors, something about "who will listen to these women? They're so over the top" and Lawrence O'Donnell put him in his place IMMEDIATELY, saying how protests were what brought about civil rights and the end of the Vietnam war.

It's subtle, like how every time he mentions to his Republican sidekick (forget her name) how warm and cuddly all her former Republican bosses were.

I taped the special he did on Obama and haven't had time to watch it yet. I don't have a problem with him.

REALLY like Lawrence O'Donnell. Rachael can get on my nerves sometimes.
