Still think the media is liberal...read this...
Where are the people screaming from the rooftops about the CONSERVATIVE media? When will it roll off the tongues of everyone when they think of biased reporting?

NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams thinks Limbaugh should get more credit

"it's my duty to listen to Rush" Limbaugh and that "Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due."


From the December 26, 2004, interview:


WILLIAMS: I do listen to Rush. I listen to it from a radio in my office, or depending on my day, if I'm in the car, I will listen to Rush. And he will tell you I've been listening for years. I think it's my duty to listen to Rush. I think Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due, because his audience for so many years felt they were in the wilderness of this country. No one was talking to them.

4. Yes, but he's talking about giving a bigot "credit" Williams is a shill.

6. Welcome to DU!!! Here's a little story.
After * was in office for a couple of years, Gore gave his first speech really trouncing the guy. I just happened to have MSNBC on with Williams and his introduction to the speech was: "Here is what passes for the loyal opposition." They guyis biased. This is just one example of his bias. Look at the media matters article. They listen to and read the right all the time but they don't make disparaging remarks about the opposition party's leader, i.e., Gore, nor do they raise the possibility that opposing the president is disloyal.

3. Williams is a punk. Time to drive his ratings now.
Making this link to Limbaugh and just hammering it over and over will really hurt Williams. He's not exactly likable and it will give the "viewing public" something to do, despise a blow dried, overpaid right wing shill. GE is going to be really sorry for the crap they've foisted on America. Here's what liars they are. I listed to Franken today and he had a Mr. Desalley on, a long time, close personal friend of Johnny Carson. Al did a great interview and asked him what he thought Carson's politics were. He said, "flaming liberal" and talked about how much Carson enjoyed politics. Fast forward to Larry King (only watching for Carson). They have Bob Wright on, NBC (GE) President and friend of Carson. King asks the same question, Wright pauses, then says "moderate, right down the middle" and that Carson wasn't partisan. I really don't care but I'm sure Wright is lying. NBC stinks from the top down right to the new spokes model, Brian Williams.
