VIDEOHave you wondered what Brian Williams is doing lately after first being tossed off the anchor seat at NBC Nightly News in disgrace for lying about his own "bravery" followed by years in the MSNBC wilderness going full TDS before finally being put out to pasture? Well, apparently he is now shilling shamelessly for cable movies. In this case you can see Blowhard Brian shilling for the horrible' Netflix remake of "All Quiet On the Western Front." There are many many ways in which this remake is horrible but let me just present the ABSURD ending in which with just...

'Star Wars' character Obi-Wan Kenobi only became more powerful after he was defeated. So if Rep. Liz Cheney is ousted from her leadership role by House Republicans, could she actually become a bigger foil for the party's Trump loyalists backing 'the big lie'? We discuss that with Cornell Belcher and Michael Steele.

Well, we mentioned that his announcement today follows reports that he had objected to some of Fox News's recent political coverage.

Longtime NBC News broadcaster Brian Williams issued a strange warning Thursday as he retired from his 11 p.m. MSNBC show. (snip) "Grown men and women who swore an oath to our Constitution, elected by their constituents, possessing the kinds of college degrees I could only dream of, have decided to join the mob and become something they are not while hoping we somehow forget who they were. They’ve decided to burn it all down with us inside. That should scare you to no end as much as it scares an aging volunteer fireman."

MSNBC host Brian Williams delivered a somber sign off during his final show for the network, stating that his biggest worry is “for my country.” “After 28 years of peacock logos on much of what I own, it is my choice now to jump without a net into the great unknown.

I'm an institutionalist. I believe in this place...

VIDEOStolen Valor Serial Fabulist Brian Williams signed off forever from his MSNBC exile. Of course in all the tributes to himself was nary a reference as to why he was leaving a low rated late night MSNBC show rather than from his NBC News anchor gig. Also interesting was that in all the personal tributes to Williams, notably missing was Lester Holt who owes Brian his current NBC Nightly News anchor slot due to Williams being forced to vacate it thanks to his serial lying. Also note that Brian signed off by taking an ominous shot at the MAGA "deplorables"...

Longtime NBC News broadcaster Brian Williams issued a strange warning Thursday as he retired from his 11 p.m. MSNBC show.

Brian Williams, dismissed as "NBC Nightly News" anchor in 2015 for serial embellishment and lying, has decided to walk away from his MSNBC show "The 11th Hour." CNN's Brian Stelter, from a competing network, previewed the last show: "There's no word on what the Thursday finale will entail, but here's hoping for a sendoff befitting his position." Williams should be sent off with a lump of coal. Stelter wasn't quite as bad as one of his favorite Sunday-show guests, journalism professor and former Baltimore Sun reporter David Zurawik. "I have separation anxiety about Brian Williams leaving at 11:00 because it...

These words come with more news about the passing of General Wayne Downing, one of America’s finest. This rare man was highly respected by the best of the best. I had the honor of talking several times with General Downing in Iraq earlier this year. He was still leading the way, providing his seasoned analysis on the air with NBC’s Brian Williams. At the time, I wrote of meeting General Downing in a dispatch entitled “Ernie is Dead”:

VIDEOSerial liar Brian Williams, who was forced out of his cushy NBC News anchor gig in 2015 for lying in order to make himself look like some sort of war hero, has just announced that he is leaving NBC at the end of the year. After losing his anchor gig, Williams went into exile to join the Moonbats at MSNBC for his own "11th Hour" show where he fully embraced the leftist Howler ethos, especially about the Trump-Russia Collusion HOAX, set there by the likes of Keith Olbermann and Joy Reid as you can see in a few of these...

Anchorman Brian Williams, a 28-year veteran of NBC News and MSNBC, said Tuesday that he is leaving the company at the end of this year. “This is the end of a chapter and the beginning of another,” Williams said in a statement. “There are many things I want to do, and I’ll pop up again somewhere.” For the past 5 years, Williams has anchored “The 11th Hour,” an end-of-the-day newscast and political talk program.

VIDEOSo why has Joe Biden PLUNGED so rapidly that he is now challenging Jimmy Carter for the lowest poll numbers in history? Well, Brian Williams completely ignores Biden's obvious incompetence and blames his poll plunge on "really crappy reporting." Of course, what Williams means by "really crappy reporting" is that the news media in unable to keep sad reality, such as the Afghanistan withdrawal debacle, from seeping into their reports at times. What Brian wants is the media to lie as much as he does so as to protect Sleepy Joe from the consequences of his incompetence.As for "really crappy...

On MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour,” host Brian Williams played a montage of the craziest school board meetings with anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers taking over the discourse. This is just a sampling of some of the wilder comments from the montage: “You want to wear snot on your face all day? Fine, you do you, boo. But don’t force that non-science, Satanic BS on our kids,” one unidentified man said. “By putting masks on these kids’ face, you can’t identify any of them. Voting on this tells me you guys support sex trafficking,” said another unidentified man. “And let me tell you...

On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “11th Hour,” host Brian Williams stated that the situation in Del Rio “is a mess and a snowballing humanitarian and health crisis,” but “some worry it’s going to be used as a giant flashy distraction” from “the rising death toll stemming from mismanagement and ghoulish denialism during a pandemic” in Texas.

Allison Williams, a veteran college football sideline reporter for ESPN, announced on Thursday that she will be opting out of the season because she will not take the COVID-19 vaccine. “While my work is incredibly important to me, the most important role I have is as a mother,” she wrote in a statement on Twitter. “Throughout our family planning with our doctor, as well as a fertility specialist, I have decided not to receive the COVID-19 vaccine at this time while my husband and I try for a second child. “This was a deeply difficult decision to make and it’s...

VIDEOBrian Williams on his MSNBC show admitted during a discussion about the Afghanistan exit disaster what every already knows: that the media is "friendly" towards Joe Biden. Of course, the prime example of that "friendly media" is Brian Williams himself.

It was probably the most intense encounter Brian Williams has had since his helicopter in Iraq was NOT hit by an RPG. Following Joe Biden's speech on Monday about the disastrous exit from Afghanistan, Williams, as expected, rushed to praise Biden. However, when he turned to his guest, former CIA analyst and Afghanistan war vet Matt Zeller, he must have been shocked that far from concurring with Williams' narrative, he strongly denounced Biden's poorly planned exit from Afghanistan.First Brian led off with "I am curious to hear your reaction of this consequential speech by the American president. Didn't run from...

Former Central Intelligence Agency analyst Matt Zeller appears on MSNBC as Brian Williams was singing the praises of Dear Leader Joe Biden for his magnificent words and exceptional work on Afghanistan. Unfortunately for MSNBC, Mr. Zeller stunned the Baghdad Bob network by saying: “I was appalled” by President Joe Biden’s Afghanistan speech, it was a lie.” WATCH:MSNBC has a case of the sads now.

It's ironic that the documentarian best known for a television series about the Civil War seems to have forgotten the Civil War. That is the only conclusion one would have to make about PBS filmmaker Ken Burns because on Friday's The 11th Hour With Brian Williams, after briefly discussing Robert E. Lee and Woodrow Wilson, he declared that "this is the most fraught time I think in the history of our republic." Really, Ken? More fraught than the American Civil War that you chronicled in which over half a million died? Well, according to the sanctimonious lecture provided by Burns,...
