Brian Williams is snarking at Joe Biden

Bringing up old history about unattributed quotations and having a basically snarky tone during the coverage. What is the point? Isn't his new job to report the news?

there is less and less "news" on cable. Although Al Jazeera is now available on my system, and frankly, their news is great.

Can't put my finger on why, but he's been really different since his suspension, and I don't think it's being more humbled either. Never really cared for his style anyway, but, I do think it's different. JMHO.
