On the 2nd night of the Democrat debates in Miami, candidates all talked over each other trying to take command of the stage. In the following radio monologue, I predicted that none of the NBC anchors would hammer any Democrat the way Megyn Kelly crushed Donald Trump out of the gate in the 2015 Republican debate on Fox News.

BOMBSHELL DUD! when American media allows Buzzfeed to lead the news, well, the media looks stupid and partisan
Every morning, NBC's TODAY Show starts with some sort of breathless, hysteria-driven BOMBSHELL news story on Trump. It's so predictable that the Boy Who Cried Wolf would advise "yeah, you may want to get that verified, nitwits." So now we are letting BUZZFEED (the web home of fart jokes and quizzes about naming genitals) lead the news on traditional media outlets? Our media industry looks ridiculous.

Lauer, the primary anchor of the network's signature show TODAY, moved from the news desk in 1997 to replace anchor Bryant Gumbel. As the day played out, more women told their own stories of abuse and discomfort in dealing with Lauer. Rival ABC News challenged statements by NBC execs claiming they didn't know anything about Lauer's workplace misdeeds. Some former NBC employees say
He’s been there. He’ll be there. He’ll do his best to remember what happened.
Suddenly, NBC news anchor Brian Williams is on a self-imposed hiatus. I'm not sure that I believe the self-imposed part of this story. It keeps getting worse for America's top rated news anchor. The lies are stacking up. NBC news anchor Brian Williams, celebrated in NBC promos as an anchor who has "been there" and "will be there," is being roundly mocked online after the revelation that his decade old war story was a massive lie. "The View" co-host Rosie O'Donnell isn't having any part of Lyin' Brian Williams' story. Others now claim Williams lied during his award-winning broadcasts during the Hurricane Katrina tragedy in New Orleans. Slate.com offers a timeline of NBC and Brian Williams advancing the same untrue story of the
