"An interesting point for some comparisons in the country."

"Brian Williams looks and sounds like a movie star or presidential candidate, and has gained popularity across ages and genders despite his leaks and despite his frequent visits to entertainment shows he used to fool around with, including SNL."

The news broadcast industry in the United States is shaking and reaching as far as the entertainment channels.

The reason: Veteran presenter Brian Williams is retiring.

It's time for a transatlantic inquiry call with the Walla!

Brenze to Los Angeles Yigal Ravid.



What's going on?



"Yes, veteran presenter Brian Williams is retiring and going home 'to be with my family.'



It sounds more like dry cleaning.



"Maybe because it's dried up in recent years on its MSNBC subsidiary after it was ousted in 2015 after more than a decade of submitting the main edition of NIGHTLY NEWS that led to its competitors, until it became entangled in a few unnecessary stories. An RPG bomber was forced to make an emergency landing and move for three days in hostile territory with the soldiers. It took 12 years until Marines who were there said he was not in a helicopter. He also claimed to have flown in an Israeli helicopter during the Second Lebanon War. "These have raised doubts about his credibility in other broadcasts, such as floating bodies he saw during the storm, Katrina in New Orleans while broadcasting from his hotel room."



He said these were misunderstandings and his words were taken out of context.



"Exactly, and went on a long vacation because he claimed he could not broadcast news when he became part of it. An interesting point for some comparisons in the country."

Williams' farewell announcement

Among the achievements: not sexually harassed

"On the CBS network, for example, presenters were replaced one after the other after the retirement of the legendary Dan Rader, in what Katie Couric, who was one of them, defined in her memoirs as an 'atmosphere of terror'"

But he survived it and was not fired while others were forced to leave.



"Because he's really a big star in terms of news in America and has been loyal to one network for almost 30 years, despite offers he received. He has not been accused of sexual harassment like his colleagues Charlie Rose, Matt Lauer and Bill O'Reilly. Brian Williams looks and sounds like a movie star or presidential candidate Crosses ages and genders despite the leaks and despite his frequent visits to hosting shows he used to fool around with, including SNL. On TV. "



His retirement reveals quite a bit about the power struggles within the big news systems.



"That's true. And quite a bit about controlling the news channels, just like we've seen in some movies and series. "These are Jeff Zucker from CNN, who meanwhile is backing Chris Cuomo, his star whose glow has dimmed following his involvement in rendering an affair that led to the resignation of his brother, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo."



Done during the broadcast? Explain.



"The traditional Nielsen index is weighted with online platforms in viewing columns that can be seen during the broadcast, and with studies and surveys, something similar to what corporation members demand in the country. "Atmosphere of terror." And in the end you are worth how much your agent managed to arrange for you in salary and bonuses.

"A constant struggle for their status and income against the big bosses."

The connection to Trump helps

a lot of money.

So what do you think he will do now?



"It could be that he's moving to one of the streaming channels like the late Larry King at the time, or Megan Kelly on whom the movie BOMBSHELL is based. "On the contrary, his move is helping MSNBC chief executive Rachel Madao, who is currently negotiating her $ 30 million-a-year contract."



That's $ 2.5 million a month.

Is she getting along?



"And she's not the most expensive. Sean Annette of Fox gets over $ 40 million. The connection to Trump helped him."



Yigal Thank you, in Neve Ilan they were happy to read.

Update how much Rachel closed.
