https://www.thedailybeast.com/brian-williams-could-replace-chris-matthews-on-msnbc-report?ref=homeBrian Williams Could Replace Chris Matthews on MSNBC: Report
According to a new report from Page Six, Brian Williams could be up for a big promotion at MSNBC in the near future. The former NBC Nightly News anchor, who was removed from that position following a scandal surrounding his exaggerated memories of experiencing combat in Iraq, has spent the past few years hosting 11th Hour with Brian Williams. In that late-night time slot, he consistently gets more viewers than both Fox News and CNN. That ratings success has led to new talk that Williams could end up replacing veteran host Chris Matthews in the 7 p.m. hour on MSNBC. This February, Matthews Hardball rated last in the coveted 25-54 news demo behind Fox and CNN. Along with Rachel Maddow, Williams is expected to lead the networks 2020 coverage, as he did on Election Night in 2016 and 2018.

This is humiliating.

Matthews used to have two evening time slots. It would suck for him if he had to move to 11PM. Or would Williams do both?

Williams has handled the coverage of this crime family with the right tone at 11:00pm.
Tweetys time has come and gone. Not sure who to put in that slot.

Matthews isn't. By the end of the day, my nerves are so shattered by unrelenting news of Trump's atrocities that Matthews is like fingernails on a blackboard for me.

Who is just awful.
