The Racialicious TV Round-up: Oct. 28-Nov. 8

November 9th, 2012 by Guest Contributor

Shoutouts to Brian Williams: Finally, props to my No. 1 News Anchor Boyfriend, Brian Williams, and his unabashed dragging of Donald Trump last Tuesday night.

Donald Trump’s status as a ridiculous human being is well-documented by our own web colleagues, multiple cable pundits, and Jon Stewart, but sometimes it just warms the heart to see a member of the “mainstream” and (supposedly) unbiased media go in. This is, after all, a man who’s spent the better part of the past two weeks essentially attempting to blackmail the President of the United States. “Irresponsible” is the least of what we could be calling him, but I can’t even be mad. Poor Brian looked like he would have rather been sitting through a marathon of Whitney episodes rather than reporting on any of the nonsense coming out of Trump’s mouth:

On NBC, Brian Williams said, Trump has “driven well past the last exit to relevance and veered into something closer to irresponsible.”

Williams also read some of Trump’s dopey tweets on the air, then said, “So, that happened.”

Even better? Williams and Trump share a network. The office Christmas party should be fun this year.

    I loved Brian Williams for that, and also for mentioning more than once how appallingly much the campaigns’ spent and that it was a shame not to have gone towards doing some good.
    Also, good for Disney on the casting calls.

    I just LOVE Brian Williams, he is also my News Anchor Boyfriend.
    He can be dry and very funny, and his verbal disdain of Trump was most excellent!

    I think Once Upon a Time thought it would be dark and edgy for Mulan to be a stoic warrior who never says anything instead of the awesome, ingenious quirky girl she is in the movie, but it’s just another misstep in the long list of missteps this show has made. (I don’t blame Jamie Chung – she has virtually nothing to work with.) I was really disappointed because Mulan is my favorite Disney heroine. I hope we do eventually get to her back story and it explains why she is so boring and poorly used on the show… sigh.
