• Brian Williams Officially Bounced from 'NBC Nightly News', Replaced by Lester Holt

    The media has been contemplating the fate of fallen NBC anchor, Brian Williams, ever since he was suspended back in February. At that time, Williams admitted to "misremembering" the details of a story that he had covered, by inserting himself into the story itself. Unfortunately for Williams, after a thorough investigation the network came to the conclusion that Williams had lied his way through various reports which made it impossible to justify bringing him back to anchor NBC Nightly News.

  • Will NBC News Chief Andy Lack Bring Brian Williams Back?

    We have already talked quite a bit about Andy Lack, the former NBC News chief who recently returned to try and dig out the network from beneath scandal and miserably low ratings. He has his work cut out for him on so many levels, from trying to pull 'Meet the Press' out of its third-place standing to completely transforming MSNBC back into a credible news network. He also has to eventually figure out what to do about Brian Williams and 'NBC Nightly News.' While it was originally believed that one of Lack's main functions would be to figure out how to bring Williams back after being suspended for six months for lying to the American public, that may no longer be the case.

  • NBC News Chief Andy Lack Needs to Save MSNBC

    When it was announced that former NBC News chief Andy Lack would be returning to his old position at the network, all the focus was on the Brian Williams fiasco. It seems fairly likely that Lack will want to at least attempt to figure out how to successfully bring his friend back to the anchor seat of 'NBC Nightly News,' and while that task seems pretty huge, given Williams's admission of having an embellishment problem, it may not be Lack's biggest problem to tackle. MSNBC is tanking in the ratings, so figuring out how to keep the news network afloat is actually something Lack has done before. During his last tenure as news chief, he found the balance that helped MSNBC to stay uniquely competitive, and now he will struggle to do it all over again.
