Brian Williams hangs up his helmet and combat boots: leaving MSNBC

Even his chin points to the left

The world will soon be a more dangerous place without Brian Williams fighting for our liberty and freedom and a little bit of Marxism thrown in. He is allegedly planning to leave MSNBC after 28 years with the company.

The award winning veteran anchor has reported on countless stories of how he had risked life and limb to come up with stories that amaze and entertain. In fact, he was even suspended for lying about stories and confessed to those lies, unlike Hillary Clinton, who never confessed to hers.

"As an award-winning journalist and anchor at MSNBC and NBC News, Brian Williams has informed us he would like to take the coming months to spend time with his family," Rashida Jones, president of MSNBC, creatively wrote in a memo Tuesday night. "He will be signing off from The 11th Hour at the end of the year."

Supposedly, Williams is leaving voluntarily, but his ratings are lower than whale poop, and that's on the bottom of the ocean. His contract is about to expire in December and his show, "The 11th Hour with Brian Williams" along with several others, had their lowest-rated weeks ever last month due to the public being fed up with Donald Trump attacks now that the big ones have been discredited and people involved with the lies might go to prison.

"Following much reflection, and after 28 years with the company, I have decided to leave NBC upon the completion of my current contract in December," Williams wrote in a statement obtained by the New York Times on Tuesday. "I have been truly blessed. I have been allowed to spend almost half of my life with one company. NBC is a part of me and always will be."

And if you believe that it was his decision to leave and not the network's to boot him, you might also believe that snakes have hips.

 Williams revealed no immediate plans for a new spot fighting for justice and the American way of life behind the camera.

"This is the end of a chapter and the beginning of another," he wrote. "There are many things I want to do, and I’ll pop up again somewhere."

Where are our heroes when we need them the most?
