Update, with video: NBC’s Today team gave a toast Pete Williams on Friday as the veteran Supreme Court and Justice Department correspondent retires at the end of this month.
“When Pete speaks, it is fully vetted, you know that it is accurate, you know that it is fair,” said Today co-host Savannah Guthrie.
The Today team of Guthrie, Hoda Kotb, Sheinelle Jones and Tom Llamas held up glasses of champagne to toast Williams, who held up his own glass from NBC News’ Washington, D.C. bureau.
Williams has not announced what he will do next, but said that he has “plenty of new projects to take on.” Williams has been with the network for almost 30 years.

NBC News has taken the early lead in Best Line Of Midterm Elections Night Coverage.
During NBC News’ super-souped-up coverage, New York Times political pundit Jeremy Peters told news veteran Andrea Mitchell that Republicans went into the day worried about the enthusiasm of Democratic voters evidenced by the preponderance of female Dem candidates in the House and Senate.
More recently, Peters explained, over final couple weeks of voting-day walk-up, Republicans “felt the air come out of the balloon a little bit” with the Pittsburgh synagogue slaughter and the bomber who mailed incendiary devices to a multitude of prominent critics of Trump.
“And, even if voters weren’t directly blaming Trump for that, they look at the situation and said to themselves, ‘God, what a crazy world?’ ” Peters described. “And, as one Republican strategist said to me, ‘Who is the President of Crazy?’ ”

A veil is lifted in the final episode of The Fourth Estate, Liz Garbus' new Showtime docu-series about the New York Times' coverage of the Donald Trump presidency. (It premieres on May 27th.) The Washington bureau's conservative politics correspondent, Jeremy Peters, is reporting on Roy Moore's failed bid for the U.S. Senate in Alabama. He links up with Steve Bannon, the former White House chief strategist and the Southern politician's most vocal national surrogate. It's clear the pair – a leader of the alt-right and a gay beat reporter with a book deal,...

After being heavily criticized for her latest column, Bari Weiss can count New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters as a supporter of her work. In the closing moments of “Morning Joe” Thursday, Peters said he wasn’t a fan of the growing rise of microaggressions on college campuses and said it was turning the next generation of Americans into wimps. “Just think about the way people on college campuses talk about speech, as a form of aggression,” he said. “That term microaggression, that you are actually wounding someone. It’s just — it’s totally changed the way that we interact with one another...

New York Times reporter Jeremy Peters struck a nerve over the weekend when he published a report critical of new ads from pro-Republican Super PACs that feature babies. “Attack ads have come to this: President [Barack] Obama makes babies cry,” wrote Peters. The meme that Republican PACs have crossed some imagined boundaries by utilizing images of infants in their campaign ads proved too provocative for the left-leaning cable news network, MSNBC, to ignore. On Monday morning, they featured two segments slamming the PACs for using babies.

Women’s Wear Daily reporter John Koblin broke word a few moments ago that Jill Abramson has been named the new executive editor of The New York Times, replacing Bill Keller. Jeremy Peters, from The Times’s own media desk, confirmed Koblin’s scoop with a story about the succession in which Abramson likened the promotion to “ascending to Valhalla.” According to Peters, “The move was accompanied by another prominent management shift at The Times. Dean Baquet, the Washington bureau chief, will become the new managing editor, marking the first time in eight years that the paper’s top newsroom positions have turned over. He was previously the editor of The Los Angeles Times.” Gabe Sherman’s excellent New York magazine piece about Abramson, published in September 2010, provides some insight into her role in the newsroom.

The New York Times has two articles today chronicling the occasional—and occasionally frequent—hostility and inhospitableness of the Internet. In one piece, the paper’s Jeremy Peters dissects the corrosive culture of hyper-competitiveness that pervades Politico. Journalists are expected to produce incredible—arguably untenable—amounts of content in little time for modest gains. This is true not just at Politico, but at Gawker, where writers’ hourly page views are broadcast on a television in the site’s Manhattan offices. “Sometimes one sees writers just standing before it, like early hominids in front of a monolith,” said the media conglomerate's czar, Nick Denton. The Times offers a more humanitarian interpretation: “Young journalists who once dreamed of trotting the globe in pursuit of a story are instead shackled to their computers, where they try to eke out a fresh thought or be first to report even the smallest nugget of news...
