Rachel's Fans Upset Over Thursday's Pre-emption

Fans of Rachel Maddow have expressed their disgust at 'sexist' NBC after the anchor was replaced on the show by Brian Williams who referred to the US missiles against Syria as 'beautiful'. According to the Daily Mail , Williams, the breaking news anchor for MSNBC, appeared during Maddow's 9pm slot when news broke that the US military fired more than 50 missiles at the al-Shayrat base in retaliation for a chemical weapons attack on civilians.

He would have turned 91 on May 8. Rickles' last appeared on stage in Las Vegas in late October.
