• Fallen NBC News Anchor Brian Williams Lied On-Air on Numerous Occasions

    Brian Williams is already about ten weeks into his six-month suspension from NBC News and from the sounds of things, it's pretty unlikely that he will be returning to the anchor desk that made him a household name. While his embellishment over a story about a helicopter ride years ago got him into hot water, it's NBC's internal investigation of Williams' reporting that may end up being a total career killer. Richard Esposito is leading a team of at least five other NBC journalists and their digging into Williams supposed escapades has uncovered a serious pattern of lying.

  • Truth-Challenged Brian Williams Makes an Appearance with a Puppy in NYC

    Is Brian Williams getting ready to attempt a return to an anchor desk at NBC? Well his very public outing yesterday was nothing short of a PR handlers' dream. They always say that people love puppies and babies so it's probably no coincidence that Williams took a stroll with his family yesterday, while walking his daughter Allison William's new puppy named Moxie. Since being suspended from NBC News back in early February, Williams has stayed mostly out of the public eye. The timing of this pretty obvious photo opportunity is hardly coincidental

  • Lester Holt to Be Named Permanent 'NBC Nightly News' Anchor?

    When NBC decided to suspend Brian Williams in early February, it knew Lester Holt was, hands down, the best person to fill his shoes. Holt has worn a variety of hats during his 15 years with the network, is well-liked and is a consummate professional. He has not only maintained the ratings of 'NBC Nightly News,' but he seems to have made that anchor seat much his own. He will likely be named the permanent anchor. Holt, while on location in South Carolina, even managed to get the first interview with Feidin Santana, the man who videotaped Officer Michael Slager shooting unarmed Walter Scott as he ran away.

  • Brian Williams Suspended for 6 Months Without Pay for Compromising NBC's Credibility

    It was obvious that NBC was going to have to take some kind of action against Brian Williams. Last night, the decision was announced that the fallen anchorman has been suspended for six months without pay for compromising the network's credibility. In the last two weeks, he has apologized for "misremembering" whether or not he had been in a chopper hit by RPG fire in 2003. The network has been investigating various instances in his reporting where he has made himself a heroic part of various stories, and apparently the bottom line is that their top guy has been pretty dishonest on a regular basis.

  • Tom Brokaw's Cancer in Remission, Work for NBC News Continues

    Great news for Tom Brokaw, as the award-winning former NBC News anchor has announced that his cancer has gone into remission. It was in February when Brokaw confirmed that he was suffering from multiple myeloma and battling a cancer that affects blood cells in his bone marrow. He first got the bad news of his diagnosis in August 2013 and has been battling the illness ever since. Brokaw first started with NBC News in 1966 and, since retiring from the anchor seat in 2014, has stayed on with the network, working on various special projects. Even while battling cancer Brokaw has popped up with reports and interviews, proving that even what could have been a deadly disease was not going to slow him down. Just last week, Brokaw was part of a presidential delegation that traveled to Belgium to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Battle of the Bulge. It was an experience that he chose to share, along with his good news, in an email to his colleagues:

  • ABC News Anchor David Muir Furious 1st Darren Wilson Interview Went to George Stephanopoulos, Not Him

    We told you a few weeks ago that there was a serious fight between the networks to score the first exclusive interview with Ferguson Police Officer Darren Wilson. CNN's Don Lemon and Anderson Cooper as well as NBC's Matt Lauer all met with Wilson before he finally decided to sit down and talk on the record with ABC's George Stephanopoulos. As it turns out, perhaps the person most bent out of shape over Wilson's choice is "ABC World News Tonight" anchor David Muir. Apparently Muir believes that as the network's evening anchor, he should be the one who is in the running for the serious "gets," not just Stephanopoulos. Sources close to Muir dished on the fact that he is furious exclusively to Page Six.
