MSNBC host and former “NBC Nightly News” anchor and managing editor Brian Williams signed off for the last time at NBC on Thursday evening.
Williams concluded his nightly MSNBC Show “The 11th Hour” with a look back at his 28 years with the network."The truth is I’m not a liberal or a conservative. I’m an institutionalist," he said."I believe in this place and my love of country I yield to no one. But the darkness on the edge of town has spread to the main roads and highways and neighborhoods. It’s now at the local bar, and the bowling alley at the school board in the grocery store.
He also lambasted elected officials he thinks have"joined the mob" and who have"decided to burn it all down with us inside."MSNBC President Rashida Jones said in a note to staff that Williams would leave at the end of the year to “spend time with his family.” She added that Williams broke “countless” major stories and attracted top journalists to his programs.
In his November note to colleagues, Williams wrote that “good friends were in great supply at NBC. I was fortunate that everyone I worked with made me better at my job.”While the anchor of “NBC Nightly News” in 2015, Williams inaccurately told a story about a helicopter he was riding in being hit by a rocket-propelled grenade. He was suspended by the network and following the suspension, moved to MSNBC.
At the time, Williams apologized on-air and said he had “made a mistake in recalling the events of 12 years ago.”Williams has not spoken publicly about his plans going forward but in his November note to NBC staff, he wrote that he has much he hopes to do and expects he will “pop up again somewhere.”"I will probably find it impossible to be silent and stay away from you and lights and cameras," he said.
