Mr. Brian Williams, do you still consider yourself a reporter? It is obvious that NBC Entertainment is giving marching orders to NBC News. After giving a platform to Donald Trump and his racist remarks, you feigned embarassment. Now we hear that he will annouce his candidacy on the apprentice. SHAME ON YOU and NBC.

    I can't decide which would be funnier the next time this lying ahole in the White House wants to have another presser like yesterday's. To have the Republicans not show up at all, or to show up and walk out when he starts his straw man lying and patting himself on the back. They probably wouldn't even have time to take a seat.

      Good point Dave as we watched the House pass a Bill cutting from the taxpayers but making sure the Wealthy get richer. I look forward to the GOP Staff Lobbyist National Budget done for Rep. Ryan. Then with those trillions cut and end of Unions finally we can get back were we where. Banks are already looking for another bailout and Corporations are having a toast with champagne on how great the GOP is doing. The GOP hasn't worked on job creation because their busy with corporate/bank business, but after we get a Republican/Tea Party President things will be different. If the public gets wind of the scam we will see Speaker Boehner cry again. But it's just to easy to fool voters even The Donald as gotten in the act for the money and the rating for his show. Who knows maybe Sarah Palin will get to be President after all.

        Donald Trump's candidacy is the creation of NBC Entertainment. At the behest of GE , NBC news division is now run by NBC Entertainment. A platform has been given to that racist birther so he can fill the airwaves with his racist rants. Shame on you Brian Williams for being a part of this. If you are really a reporter, why don't you challenge Trump and his racist views. What about the birth certificates of Huckabee, Palin, Gingrich? Ooops I forgot they are all white. Remember Blacks could not coach, pilot aircrafts, call plays on the football field. Now that we have an African-American President, he has to be from another continent because he can walk and chew gum at the same time.

          Good Evening Mr.Williams, Another fine broadcast this evening as always!

          First of all the report by Mr.Costello about the problems with the Air Traffic Controllers falling asleep on the job and the Head of the Air Traffic Controllers being fired. Simply inexcusable for the Air Traffic Controllers to be asleep in the tower when planes are taking off and landing. So many cities having this incident happen is must stop immediately. The schedules of the air traffic controllers needs to be changed in order for them to have an better amount ot rest. Things have to be improved for the safety of the passengers and crew of all these airplanes along with the well being of the air traffic controllers.

          The report by Stephanie Gosk from Benghazi told of how the town of Misrata is under a humanitarian crises with all the fighting occurring in the city. The city being surrounded by Qadhafi forces makes it impossible for the citizens to leave their homes. A frightening situation with the rebels fighting street to street constantly bombarded by attacks from Qadhafi forces. NATO has attacked the capital city of Tripoli and there was evidence if remnants of missles in the streets. Very tragic in the town of Misrata where the hospitals are overwhelmed with patients. Especially heartbreaking to learn of children being hit by gunfire and shrapnel. Interesting to see Qadhafi riding in a motorcade waving from the sunroof to send a message of still being in power. A tumultuous situation and one hopes for a peaceful end. Time will tell.

          The piece by Mara Schiavocampo about the mother who drove her minivan into the water with her four children was heartwrenching and simpy tragic. So very sad to learn what she posted as a message on Facebook and how troubled she had been in the recent weeks. Ones heart goes out to her ten year old son who survived and notified the authorities of what happened. Ones thoughts and prayers go out to her whole family.

          Your interview with Paul Simon was wonderful and his voice really has not changed over the years. So many great songs from him and one looks forward to his new album. A nice interview!

          Thank You for the broadcast Mr.Williams. Peace to You and to All!

          Be Well Everyone!

          Stay Extra,Extra Safe and Well Richard! Wonderful to see you in New York Safe and Sound! Hope you are enjoying being home! Always Excellent Reporting!

          Take Extra Good Care Richard and Crew!

            Hi Brian,

            Caught your report on the sleepy air traffic controllers and have a idea you could get to the right person within the ruling class in Washington. To fix this problem at mostly remote traffic control towers, I am sure Washington will shake up the entire system and spend billions of tax dollars. I feel there is a simple fix. Problem is controllers dozing off on the night shifts. In this high tech era, they should be able to install an alarm system that between certain hours, it would be computer controlled, the alarm would sound after the pilot would key his mic system more than twice without a key response back from the controller.

            Simple, effective, and low cost.

              If some of the Air Traffic Controllers are already working two 8 hour shifts in a 24 hour period how are they going to double up on them? They don't exactly grow on trees. Why don't they assign a TSA agent to every tower that only has one Air Traffic Controller and if they start to doze off the TSA agent can give em a little grope. Ok so some 6 year old girl might go unmolested at an airport but like the Pro Golfer (in his mind) in the White house says "everyone must sacrifice".

                "I arise in the morning torn between the desire to change the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This

                makes it hard to plan the day." A quote from E.B. White in this morning's Louisville Courier-Journal.
