Brian Williams does a wonderful job of pushing the agenda of the White House. First, it's education and how schools need more money. Tonight he's promoting that hideous health care scam. have you ever noticed how many fluff stories NBC runs? I'm actually looking at a story on Michael Jackson's doctor. Who cares? Let's have some hard neews and let's have a story that isn't biased toward the liberal left. My God, it's tough enough having General Electric in the tank for Obama. I'm convinced George Soros has his finget in the action, too. The station and, consequently, Brian Williams, is a joke.

Brian
PLEASE PLEASE address the issue of our god awful gun laws in the US tomorrow night in Tuscon. It's the 600 lb gorillia in the room NOT political retoric. Political retoric like religious retoric begats violence to be sure but GUNS kill people. I hope the shooting of one of their own (congress)in a big GUN state will prompt our legislators to ignore the National Rifle Association treats to "get them" and HIGHLY restrict the publics access to guns.
Thanks, as always,
Peter Pook
Thank You

Brian Williams Ad Urges Recording News
-- The New York Times reported on November 14, 2010:
"Of all the news commercials on the networks this year, one running this fall for “NBC Nightly News” might be the most unorthodox. In it, the anchor Brian Williams recommends that people record the 6:30 p.m. newscast if they will not be home in time to watch live.
“I just thought it was high time to acknowledge, in our ‘Nightly News’ promos, the way we live,” Mr. Williams wrote by e-mail."

Brian Williams never graduated from college and doesn't think anybody is interested in what he thinks.
In an interview in the October 2010 edition of Hemispheres magazine, Williams said in response to a question about how opinion is displacing news on cable TV:
"I have never, ever done opinion television, and I won’t. I’ll retire without ever doing it. I don’t think anybody is interested in what I think."

Your comments about Brian Williams
Is It Live or Is It Brian??
Brain Williams is the anchor and managing editor of NBC Nightly News, having succeeded former news anchor Tom Brokaw in December, 2004.
Williams was raised in Elmira, New York. His parents moved him to Middletown, New Jersey when he was a teen. He was a volunteer fireman and worked at a pancake restaurant and at a Sears store.
After leaving college without a degree, he began his broadcasting career in Pittsburg, Kansas at KOAM-TV, and eventually moved to Washington D.C. to work at WTTG-TV as an assignment correspondent for a short time. He left WTTG to work at WCBS in New York, where he won an Emmy.
It was at WCBS that he was noticed by national network executives. They immediately recognized that he was every bit as handsome as he was dull witted, the perfect combination for a television news reader.
He lives with his wife Jane in New Canaan, Connecticut; the couple have two children.
