30. They interrupted Rachel to bring on Brian Williams. What a mistake!

I'll admit, I had never really paid much attention to him. I typically think that most "nightly news" anchors are just script readers anyway. But listening to him.... I had to resist the urge to change the channel because Rachel was ALSO there, and I wanted to hear what Rachel had to say. But that guy is genuinely dumb. Twice I heard him say the Syrian airport was "cratered." Twice different guests that came on said the airway was likely not cratered. But he couldn't stop insisting the airport was cratered by the missiles.
