Brian Williams doing a very good job covering the shooting

He speaks with great measure and a calm slowness. He is not like most other breaking news people, who excitedly ramble loudly and quickly and sound almost entertained, and ask awful questions ("Did you see any blood? Did you see any bodies? Did you expect something like this to happen? Was it scary?&quot

I hear his voice and immediately change the channel. He is not a legitimate newsreader, IMO.

Shep, and was quite impressed. He gave the facts, said when they were or weren't confirmed, and explained everything calmly.

I've heard he is a quality journalist. Can't understand why he's at Faux.

there is someone else there, can't remember her name, she does military/pentagon stuff. she is very matter of fact.

they get a lot of viewers there, but it can't be easy to keep a rep as a serious newsperson at that network.

really had no effect on the stories to the point that it affected what the message was, or seems to me like. Don't get me wrong here I simply Love Lester Holt in Brians old spot.
I trust Lester to be telling me the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I've always been a Lester Holt fan though, from the time I seen him back years ago. I simply like the guy.

I don't have a problem with Brian Williams though, as crooked as his old head is it matters not to me
