Brian Williams et Tom Brokaw: une relation difficile qui pourrait influencer la suite des choses

Brian Williams est le présentateur du bulletin de nouvelles du réseau NBC depuis dix ans, mais son prédécesseur oeuvre toujours pour le réseau et son avis est toujours considéré. La relation entre Williams et Brokaw a toujours été difficile. Brokaw a toujours été grandement apprécié et il fait figure de sage dans ce dossier.

 "Brokaw elaborated in an email to Playbook: “There is a process underway, and I didn't want to impose myself on to it. This is a very serious issue that must be resolved on the facts. All this endless speculation is unfair to all involved.”

The NBC veteran said: “There is no love lost between those two. It’s always been a very awkward relationship. Brian has always felt very threatened by Tom, and acts very strangely around Tom. Brian wants to make sure he’s out front, and Tom is not in the way.” “Brian always feels the need to embellish,” the NBC veteran said. “He has always been known for telling stories dramatically, and he’s known for making any story about him.” But the bluster had always seemed more like a quirk than a time bomb. “It was more people eye-rolling: ‘That’s Brian,’” the NBC veteran said.

Friends of Williams were initially mystified, and have become irritated, by the lack of support for the anchor by NBC News and Comcast. He is the face of the news division — a priceless asset — and these friends feel he has been hung out to dry, which has encouraged insiders to assume the worst and outsiders to pile on."
