Disgraced, Demoted Pathological Liar To Collect $10 Million At MSNBC
Brian Williams - the disgraced lying ex-anchor of NBC Nightly News - has been demoted drastically to breaking news on MSNBC. He also took a significant pay cut. But do not feel too bad for the pathological narcissist. As TheWrap reports, the newsman will still earn a stunning $8-10 million. In today's consequence-less world, it appears it now pays to lie, but do not be disturbed as Williams has allegedly commented that he "identifies as an honest news anchor."
Brian Williams will still make close to $10 million per year despite his demotion to a breaking news role at MSNBC, which has at best just 10 percent the audience of the “NBC Nightly News” broadcast, an individual with knowledge of his compensation told TheWrap.
The insider said that Williams would be making “between $8 and $10 million,” adding that the figure represented what the former anchor considered a big cut in pay.
The disgraced news anchor was making closer to $15 million at the network, not the $10 million that has been previously reported, the insider said.
An NBC News spokesman declined to comment, saying that the network won’t discuss personnel contracts.
But multiple individuals told TheWrap that Williams’ salary cut was not as significant as might be expected, given how much smaller the MSNBC audience is than that of the network he was leaving.
In early June, the half-hour “NBC Nightly News” averaged 7,868,000 viewers per night and 1,928,000 in the 25-54 demographic, according to Nielsen figures. By contrast, on Tuesday, June 16, MSNBC’s highest-rated show was “The Rachel Maddow Show,” an hour-long broadcast with 742,000 viewers and just 166,999 in the 25-54 demo.

To summarize - a man who profers to deliver unbiased personal reporting but instead lied through his teeth to enrich his own ego has been demoted to an audience 90% lower but still gets paid $10 million!!!!
Welcome to the new normal America.

I quit after they fired Cenk Uygur ffor being critical of Obama from the left. Replaced by FBI informant and tax cheat Al Sharpton who said he would not criticize Obama
MSNBC - the Obama Channel
MSNBC is nothing but tabloid journalism. then again all the major news outlets are tabloid. just because they don't talk about the dog faced boy as their lead story shouldn't detract you from this.
It's not a consequence-less world. It's world with consequences for some people but not others.
Picture this:
1. What would you do if Brian Williams via MSNBC comes on and announces a "breaking story".
2. Would you change the channel looking for more info, or would you watch Brian and believe whatever he reports?
3. MSNBC doesn't have the infrastructure to report a "breaking story" unless it is happening on their set.
Brian Williams will report to Al Sharpton, the lord of authenticity.
Put it on the air...And they will watch, well at least a few, in this case. Still... Unbelievable!
