said by albie:said by ToxicDrew:Hopefully Comcrap won't butcher NBC even further like they sabotaged the former Tech TV network. I can just see Brian Williams fired and replaced with a G4 channel clone type with the excuse to bring in a younger audience to NBC.
Brian Williams is what is WRONG with network television, he is a KNOW NOTHING VACCUOUS talking head, that has NOTHING in common with the likes of a Walter Cronkite or Huntley or Brinkley, or even Howard K. Smith.
The Brian Williams of the world have allowed NUT CASES like SELF-RIGHTEOUS sexually harassing phone sex addicts like Billy O'Reilly and his mortal enemy Keith OLBERDORQUE to take over the flow of NEWS in the mass medium of television.
Network television is much more the VAST WASTELAND today than it was 50 years ago when Newton Minnow made that claim.
Let Comcast buy a desert and call it the PROMISED LAND.
It will come to nothing.
The Japanese bought Rockefeller center and took a public bath.
Oil money bought CITIBANK at 25 and it is now pegged well under ten and that is only because stooges like BUSH and PAULSON and the second set of stooges like Geitner and OBAMA encouraged the MORONS in CONGRESS to charge its bailout on the public credit card.
Let the boys and girls at Comcast buy NBC, physics tell me that two sinking ships drawings water may sink faster than one.
The thought of someone thinking the likes of Brian Williams worthy of lament makes understand me how old an aging babyboomer like myself really is.
No offense but damn lol It's just the nightly news. I'd rather see Brian Williams then a 20yo pin head with a bachelors in looking pretty.
