Pretty. But just another lib.

What difference does it make? They are just being paid to read what is put in front of them anyway.

Actually I was shocked to see that Wiliams averages 9m nightly viewers. Although someone here on FR mentioned that most are in nursing homes.

Does anyone have a list of her stories? It is becoming obvious that the media masters prefer the disturbed; so one can assume disturbance shall follow disturbance.

What is truly scary is the total bankruptcy of our leadership class(composed of politicians & media creatures.)

First time Lockhart has tweeted since Feb 2013.

Is NBC gearing up for the changing of the guard (and I don't mean news anchor---well...otoh, double entendre)?

Let just say it was enough viewers to re-elect a POTUS with $4 gas, 13% unemployment, surging food prices, trillion dollar deficits, and a disastrous foreign policy.

Not sure what to make of all this.

Chelsea Clinton earned an annual salary of $600,000 at NBC News before switching to a month-to-month contract earlier this year, sources with knowledge of the agreement told POLITICO.

(snip)

As special correspondent, Clinton worked on service-related feature assignments for NBC’s “Rock Center with Brian Williams” until the show’s cancellation in June 2013. Clinton has since worked on packages for NBC Nightly News.

Oracle Corp. named Leon Panetta to its board of directors on Monday, effective immediately.

Panetta brings with him a vast supply of political connections, serving as U.S. defense secretary from 2011 to 2013 and director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2009 to 2011. Panetta also served in the Clinton Administration as chief of staff and director of the Office of Management and Budget. He was congressman to California’s 16th district, which includes Monterey, San Benito and parts of San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz, from 1977 to 1993. Panetta is 76.

“We are honored to welcome Secretary Panetta to our board,” said Larry Ellison, Oracle’s chairman of the board of directors and chief technology officer.

The appointment of a political power player to a tech board can prove to be a risky move, as critics often attack the person’s record on privacy issues. Last April, protests erupted over Condoleezza Rice’s appointment to Dropbox’s board. Critics cited concerns about her involvement in the Iraq war, support of wiretapping and initiation of the Bush interrogation program.

Oracle’s previous attempt to place a Washington player on its board didn’t fly either. In 2000, the Redwood City-based company named former Clinton press secretary Joe Lockhart to its board only to see him drop out. Lockhart cited the long coast-to-coast commute between Washington, D.C. and Silicon Valley as the reason for his exit, while other reports claimed it was due to a clash with Ellison.

Panetta will serve a one-year term and be up for re-election in November. The move expands Oracle’s board to 12 members.

Come on gran....

Everything ya see on TaaVaa news is concocted, rehearsed, choreographed propaganda horse ****. Tokyo Rose would be proud.

If they ever dared tell the truth, their studios would be raided. They’d be broadcasting weather news in Hacksaw Arkansas...And even the weather news is now filled with lies and propaganda.

But they sure have some good looking women models shoveling the BS for their shrinking audience of fools.

Lester Holt is the best anchor NBC has....

...and, as said, he has no apparent agenda.

I hope they keep him on.

I don’t disagree with you that news (even the weather) has become manipulation. That doesn’t change that some of the “newscasters” seem to be more even handed. Lester Holt seems more reasonable that a lot of the others.

Bad news for Lester: whenever he subs on Nightly News, the ratings go down. Plus, NBC can review his performance as the primary anchor at WBBM-TV, the CBS O&O in Chicago; during his 14-yer tenure, the station remained mired in third place in the local ratings.

Mr. Holt is a competent broadcaster and he seems to have more integrity than Brian Williams (damning him with very faint praise). But he is not the “star” that NBC will be looking for the replace Williams. In fact, NBC has a real problem; beyond Holt, Savannah Guthrie and Matt Lauer, there’s no one “in house” who’s ready for the job, and you can make a case that Holt, Guthrie and Lauer are very flawed candidates.

At this point, Williams departure seems all-but-certain, and they will have to look outside the network for a replacement. If I were advising NBC/Comcast, I’d make a run at Bret Baier of Fox. I rather doubt Baier would leave, but he certainly has the credibility and reporting skills for the job.
