Flashback 2006: NBC’s Brian Williams Points Finger At President Bush
As NewsBusters previously reported, NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams on Thursday, reacting with predictably similar disgust as the rest of the media to the picture of Arizona Governor Jan Brewer pointing her finger at Barack Obama, asked viewers, “Who have you ever seen talking to the president like this?”
Maybe he should have looked in the archives of interviews he did with George W. Bush wherein he was guilty of making the exact same supposedly offensive hand gesture at the President of the United States
Apparently Williams doesn’t either, for here’s part of his highly outraged report from Thursday:
Wild Thing’s comment…..
Hahha the media is so phoney. They do it and to them it is OK, but if a Republican does it then it is oh soooo horrible. hahhahaa
The other thing too, Jan Brewer’s State of AZ. is being sued by Obama for wanting to follow our immigration laws…I think she has a right to point a finger at the freak Obama.
I was not thrilled with the George Bush presidency. However, I greatly admired him as an honorable man who loved America. The MSM attacked his integrity and dignity for four years. The media people who attacked Bush are some of the scum of the earth. The news media exempts itself from scrutiny. That is a shame because the media has as much in fluence on our daily lives as elected officials do. I consider the MSM as the (unelected) fourth branch of govt.
I heard, I think it was, Sean Hannity say we should dig into the background of MSM journalists and broadcast it for all to hear. Just think if where they grew up, how they grew up, and what they did came to light? I wonder how they would like it?
Tom, I feel the same way. The things I liked about Bush I truly loved and respect. The things that upset me I see even more now how Obama is using those things Bush did to make matters worse. augh.
Bob, good point and they would scream the loudest.
