Brian Williams: It’s ‘Our Job’ ‘To Scare People to Death’ on North Korea So Talk About Military Strikes Isn’t ‘As Free’

During a panel discussion of North Korea on Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The 11th Hour,” host Brian Williams stated that part of their job is to terrify people to death on the subject of North Korea so people don’t talk about military strikes so freely.

Williams told MSNBC analyst Malcolm Nance, “Malcolm, our job tonight actually is to scare people to death on this subject so the talk isn’t as free as it is about a preemptive or surgical military strike. You know that part of the world. The population centers…South Korea, the Japanese, and so on and so on.”
