But if his ratings are good how is that being PC or have anything to do with affirmative action?
No one ever said that, except you.
Would he have not proven he is the right man for the job, your "canard" was that Williams would have no real issues coming back and now your "canard" is that the Lester hire is PC.
You seem to just want to rail against something.
You are attacking your own straw man. Intentionally or not, can't tell yet. Go back and read exactly what I typed, for elucidation.
Their intention is to bring back Williams, they've said that. But you made a good point about ratings. Then I remembered the replacement is Lester Holt. And if his ratings are only as good as or even a little less than Williams' were, they would have a really hard time bringing back Lyin' Brian due to PC reasons. It would be
bad optics. And that is your social promotion, affirmative action situation.
Now, if Lester's ratings were stellar, they're saved from the PC conundrum.
