MSNBC Scolds Brian
Williams for ‘Patronizing’ Rachel Maddow
by Katherine Rodriguez 30 Apr 2017
MSNBC scolded Brian
Williams for “patronizing” host Rachel Maddow after he thanked her
for “visiting” his newscast.
Williams hijacked Maddow’s show to break the news of the
U.S. missile strike on Syria earlier this month when he told her at the end of
the broadcast while on air, “Thanks for visiting tonight. Glad you were a part
of our coverage.”
MSNBC president Phil Griffin was reportedly furious at
Williams for how he treated Maddow, the New
York Post’s
“Page Six” reported.
“Phil gave Brian a very stern rebuke, telling him, ‘Don’t
you ever do that again.’ But Rachel didn’t seem bothered by it and just laughed
it off,” a source told “Page Six.”
The former NBC Nightly News anchor
was in charge of MSNBC’s coverage of the U.S. Navy’s Tomahawk missile
strike on Syria, which cut into Maddow’s nightly program “The Rachel Maddow Show.”
Viewers objected to Williams’ perceived intrusion into
Maddow’s turf and his observation that the video footage of the missiles being
launched was “beautiful” on the April 6 broadcast.
“Not only did Brian go way over the top with his coverage
of the missile strike, he then totally patronized Rachel by thanking her for
‘visiting’ her own show and being ‘a part’ of his ‘beautiful’ coverage! Has he
not learned anything from ‘Misremember-gate’?” a source from MSNBC said.
Williams was suspended from NBC Nightly News and later
fired in 2015 after he “misremembered” details of his experiences covering the Iraq
War in 2003, the Daily
Mail reported.
He returned to the air as a breaking news anchor in
September 2015 and host of an 11 p.m. wrap-up hour.
