i (and undoubtedly others) joked that brian williams ought to consider taking over for jon stewart as his "credibility" as a newsreader is now in jeopardy for fibbing while trying to impress the octogenarians that still watch the nightly news. apparently i (and others) wasnt that far off base as this long expose reveals that he expressed an interest in taking over for letterman and leno upon their retiring. of course if he took over for stewart he might be forced into actually covering the news rather than just mugging for the camera.
i visited CNN once to meet with the geeks in the labs that look at new technology. Walking to the meeting, I saw a dude strolling through the place, who seemed to have the air of nobility. I don't even remember who. He was a daytime anchor. Not quite the QEII hand wave, but there was a definite air about him. I only watched him later. OMG, just like a local TV chuckle-head but with more polish and a massive budget.
