The 11th Hour with Brian Williams host led MSNBC's live daytime coverage when the Mueller report was released last week. He also was in the MSNBC anchor chair for the State of the Union address in February. "The return Williams to (cable) network anchor status has been so understated and seamless, that it would have been easy not to notice," says Daniel Lippman, noting that it's been four years since he was suspended and dropped from NBC Nightly News for fabricating a story about coming under fire in Iraq. Lippman adds: "Williams’s transgression is hardly mentioned anymore, perhaps because he apologized and accepted the punishment, or because of the time that has passed. But it also has receded in the public attention in part due to the much more serious and salacious accusations about some of his peers -- Matt Lauer, Charlie Rose and Mark Halperin, among others -- documented as part of the #MeToo movement."
