Lester Holt is stepping down as the anchor of NBC Nightly News.

He will continue to anchor for Dateline.

What a shame.

Lester is 65, an age where lots of people are retiring

mgpie14.bsky.social•43 days ago

Maybe he’ll do a special on why he seemed to side against Harris at every turn. (Plus “anchor Dateline”? He’s on there for two seconds an episode)

eyeofhorrace.bsky.social•43 days ago

Lester did not bend the knee.

Everybody but Joe ScaredBro and Meek-a.

debholleync.bsky.social•43 days ago

Who can blame him? The pressure on him and other anchors to be propagandists will be huge

rredmondsart.bsky.social•43 days ago

Both sides

Networks..OH SO WHITE

notatrillionaire.bsky.social•43 days ago

I am not going to say it was race because the weekend crew is now 5 days a week but her CNN experience ( cautious news network) is influencing her. CNN is a boring bland network. They try to be totally neutral I fall asleep. Their anchors rarely call out the conspiracy theorists on the show.

notatrillionaire.bsky.social•43 days ago

Yes a shame. Is this 100 percent his decision? Look at msnbc under the new leadership of Rebecca Kutler. She axed joy Reid, ayman mohyeldin, Alex Wagner.. Reid and ayman were sometimes controversial but added an angle to the network.

At least he’ll be increasing his role at Dateline, which I watch religiously.

He saw the DEI writing on the wall. Can’t have any one of color being the face of news for white, Nazi, America.

thejojoyouknow.bsky.social•43 days ago

Dang. I love Lester Holt.

pnwwestcoast.bsky.social•43 days ago

I've been a Lester Holt viewer since he became NBC Nightly News anchor. Sorry to see him leave.

troublingtome.bsky.social•43 days ago

What part of the softball interview he gave with Trump years ago did I miss?
All MSM especially network news have been crap at holding the con man liar to account
Why?
Access, and that is on their corporate masters

druidhearted.bsky.social•43 days ago

Good riddance.

gordonvincent.bsky.social•43 days ago

I stopped watching NBC due to his trump apologism. There's a sick kind of equality in his carrying water for the Rapist, and it not working out for him.

mdywmn.bsky.social•43 days ago

So the news media will not be diverse! What a shocker!

geminieyes.bsky.social•43 days ago

I hope they didn’t make you step down. I am sad to see ya go

raytaylorpawpaw.bsky.social•43 days ago

Is there a peacock in midtown Manhattan that has only one color?

ajmayhines.bsky.social•44 days ago

Nope, he's been terrible,I want Brian Williams back!! Then put Chris Matthews back on MSNBC so he can show all the other hosts how to interview a liar!!!

coachmax.bsky.social•43 days ago

So….NBC… Lester Holt, Joy Reid, Jonathan Capehart, Altman Mohyeldin and Katie Phang being pushed aside. Because they aren’t white?

fullfaithandcredit.bsky.social•43 days ago

Cue more white guys.😡

edieblay.bsky.social•44 days ago

Really? I love watching Lester Holt. The hits just keep on coming. 😒

bradleejay.bsky.social•43 days ago

I love Lester Holt and watch him religiously. I'm saddened to see him go but who will be his replacement?

blueancestor.bsky.social•43 days ago

Enjoyed his Nightly News. Hope he really had a choice in the matter.

1neatgirl.bsky.social•43 days ago

Damn! He’s the only news anchor I like!

xmagnusonx.bsky.social•43 days ago

cat01956.bsky.social•43 days ago

Oh my he will be missed! Who do I trust now?

imdoctorremulak.bsky.social•43 days ago

"I'm Lester Holt." is an oft used phrase in our household

jobabe17.bsky.social•44 days ago

Wow nbc will be lilly white soon

jeromecylin.bsky.social•44 days ago

NBC can fuck right off to the moon.

mark42r.bsky.social•44 days ago

Is this another, because he Black DEI? What bullshit from NBC I’m sure this wasn’t Holts decision! I’m going to stopping watching NBC, MSNBC, CNBC! They have caused and assisted trump in these actions by normalizing him! We don’t need them they need us!

sharonnotkaren.bsky.social•44 days ago

OMG. You mean I have to watch David Muir now? 🤮

missygirl1999.bsky.social•43 days ago

He won't be missed here. I will never forget his interview with President Biden. That's when he lost me.

itsperspextive.bsky.social•44 days ago

I’m glad he’s at least staying on Dateline. His hosting and voice are a staple to that program.

bkjax8.bsky.social•44 days ago

Norah, Hoda and Jim also saw the immediate future for journalists, and it ain't good.

savage-t.bsky.social•44 days ago

Why don't they just get it over with, and fire all the black employees? It's obviously where their capitulation is leading them.

nopenowaynot.bsky.social•43 days ago

Damn. One of the last few that could be trusted.

traumarn.bsky.social•43 days ago

He’s literally the only newscaster I’ll watch anymore. Very sad

oldlady628.bsky.social•44 days ago

Black?

bettyhey.bsky.social•44 days ago

I'm following Dateline NBC

intj-views.bsky.social•43 days ago

MSNBC goes full on MAGA DEI.
Joy Reid out too!

sonrae13.bsky.social•44 days ago

WHAT. He’s my go-to. My daily touch point. Boooooooooo

wfulford.bsky.social•43 days ago

I like him as a person, but I have to say I don't think he has used his position to be more critical of what is going on and call out pure disinformation. He has played it pretty safe.
