26. They didn't fire Brian Williams and he deserved to be fired

They found him another show on MSNBC where he's been hiding out for 3 years or so. If Williams wants a better time-slot why doesn't he trade with Greta?

It doesn't make sense that they would fire the best guy they have - Lawrence O'Donnell - and make a political thing out of it. They only fire the guys who don't have the ratings, and Lawrence DOES have them.

Or else you fire guys that screw up like Williams did.
