Brian Williams who is replacing Tom Brokaw advocates for Rush Limbaugh!

[drummer55]

Can I just poke my eyes out with a fork now?!?!?!?!

I should be shocked that such a blatant partisan has been put in as the mouthpiece for NBC... but I think after the last year my shock meter is broke.

read on....

---------------------------------------------------

Brian Williams, who replaced Tom Brokaw as anchor and managing editor of NBC's Nightly News on December 2, 2004, said in an interview with C-SPAN founder, president, and CEO Brian Lamb: "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.

1. Repeat after me

Stenography Corp

CONSERVATIVE Media

And remember say it often and all the time

[drummer55]

15. LOL....yeah I know ...... but damn it just sucks. n/t

[coloradodem2005]

2. Gee. And we thought Brokaw was bad.

Maybe we need to force Brian Williams into retirement.

[rockedthevoteinMA]

3. He listens to him...

That's not the same. The thing with the journalism field is that you must be aware of what everyone is doing... left, right and center. (At least that's what my journalism professor told me.)

[drummer55]

5. no...what williams say and I quote

...and that "Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due"

that means he feels that rush deserves more credit for what he has done and is doing.

[Cha]

12. Thanks! I was just going to point

that out to the poster.

Shouldn't oxy-rush be in jail? Isn't that one little point that went right over brain-dead's head?

[Osamasux]

18. "Get the credit he is due?"....

What, they owe him time off his sentence for good behavior?

[Randers]

7. It sounds like he is doing more than "being aware"

I doubt he balances it out with listening to Democracy Now everyday.

[alittlelark]

11. uh, yeah....... whatever you say.

Awareness is different than 'brainwashing'. Those w/ weak psyches will succumb to Rush tripe.... those w/ a few brain cells to rub together will not even give him the time - instead they will read the highlights.

How susceptible is this 'talking head'?

4. Nothing new here!

I remember him starting out a report a few years back with something like, "Rush Limbaugh said today he was so angry he didn't want to report to work!"

[Cha]

14. Like anyone of substance gives

a shit!!

[6000eliot]

6. I thought so before

but now I'm convinced he is a dick wad.

[richmwill]

8. Could mean nothing...

I've been watching "700 Club" off and on throughout the years- hands down, funniest show on TV! Cracks me up every time! :)

[devilgrrl]

9. This is just another reason not to watch NBC News

Not that I watch them in the first place - thanks for the heads up, I'll stay as far away as possible.

[Cha]

10. I knew brainless williams was

BAD NEWS but I didn't know it was this BAD!


he always hawks for bush..and now rush, too! Please tell me this nightmare will be over SomeDay?!?

Maybe if his ratings go down?..Who is going to replace Dan Rather?

I don't think we'd hear Dan or even Peter spouting stupid inanities like this.

[Stephanie]

13. While I usually don't have the opportunity, I too think I shd listen to it

Just to see what their spin is. Brian Williams so far seems to me to be pretty fact-based and impartial. If he listens to rush I commend him for his stamina.

[Cha]

16. Everytime I've listened to

brian williams ..I can hear bush worship oozing out of his pores.

[Stephanie]

20. okay - I will take a closer listen

I admit to being rather half-assed in evaluating him, although I was encouraged by some of his reports early on.

[anaxarchos]

17. Limbaugh hasn't gotten the prison term he deserves either... n/t

[Vinnie From Indy]

19. His Most Telling Statement

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

I would tell Brian that the reason Rush's audience was in the wilderness for so long is because the last go around the world had with Fascism left a mighty bad taste in peoples mouths. Opposing points of view are not equal. Some are truly evil and should be labeled as such.

[Cha]

25. Yeah! Go Vinnie!

The Hatemongers from the wilderness..wah, wah, wah!

If brian doesn't realize there is something seriously wrong with limbaugh then what cred does he have?

[w4rma]

21. Might be able to get him to regret those words by lobbying him to listen

to AAR and Democracy Now as much as he listens to OxyRush. Listening to them should also be his "duty".

[Shopaholic]

22. Read the entire Media Matters piece about Brian Williams'

admiration for Rush. It will turn your stomach. :puke:

[w4rma]

24. Maybe he'll feel a need to pretend for the sake of an appearance of

"balance". Maybe he might start thinking for himself if he listens to a bit of non-OxyRush/non-fascist political opinion.
