Oh really?
Does he know who he works for?

Or with for that matter!
How did he get his current job again? https://t.co/LiH86HQSKY

And the guy he replaced is still with the network

The irony that he replaced Brian Williams shows how pathetic Lester Holt has become.
Virtue signaling from an anchor at a network that refuses to report without bias.

Holt must remember because this wasn’t all that long ago:
Somebody from NBC News should sit out any lectures about providing a “platform for misinformation.”
