Brian Williams and the media are in a bubble...
Edited on Wed Dec-14-05 10:40 AM by kentuck
Brian Williams asked George Bush if he was "in a bubble"? Bush could have turned the tables on him if he had simply responded, "No, are you?" Because in actuality, they were both in a bubble. Otherwise, Bush could not have heard the questions that Williams asked.

The media has been in a bubble since day one of this Administration. The NYTimes and Washington Post bought and sold all the propaganda from this White House. They never researched anything. They never questioned the lies that were told by the boy in the bubble. It's a little late for them to accuse someone else of being alone in the bubble. They are both looking at reflections of little rainbows as they prance around in their own little world.

1. Williams is a pompous ass
I can't stand any of them in the MSM with the exception of Oberman.

3. This is the same Brian Williams that was so upset.......
so horrified by what he saw 3 months ago in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina that he supposedly floated the idea of keeping an NBC Bureau open in New Orleans.

I guess the horror of Katrina wears off.

snipets of Dimson and shame on Brian Williams for his gushing over "unprecidented access". Well no fucking wonder - Williams treated POTUS like "king of the world".

6. "Do you have a credible source?" that is what MSM should be asked
when they start with the "The White House says..." or "The Bush administration says..."

Is there actually anything that they haven't directly lied about? Anything they haven't gotten caught lying about???

Okay the do not call list...hold it didn't the telemarketing industry try to get them to not sign that....


Anyway-Williams is bad that is for sure but he has not yet reached douchebag status. That is rarified air.
