Did you know that Brian Williams avoided stories that were critical of the Obama administration? So what vicious "rightwing" organization is making such a claim? Actually this was a charge coming from NBC News reporters themselves in an lengthy New York Magazine article about the troubles at NBC News.

The reporters complaining about Williams avoiding such stories are Michael Isikoff and Lisa Myers. Keep in mind that "divisive" here mean stories that don't put the Obama administration in a favorable light:

Brian Williams MUST remain in suspension purgatory for the high crime (among others) of foisting an embarrassing Peter Pan upon us.

Lisa Myers is great. She took on Clinton over Juanita Broderick.

Brian can practice doing The Limbo during his suspension.
Why not? He’s already used to crawling on his knees.

One of the best interviews of all time. It was only shown once and received little or no attention from the rest of the tv or paper media

Churchill said academic politics are so vicious because the stakes are so low.

I guess in the world of the presstitutes the politics are so vicious because the stakes are so high.

There isn’t a single person in that story that I would ever want to know.

And yet they just can’t seem to figure out why Fox News cleans their clocks every night of the week.

Don’t need a 105 IQ to read from a TelePrompter. You can do it with a 50 IQ. Just ask Obama.

I had always assumed Williams was too stupid to act as managing editor with control of all content. I figured several commie producers were telling him what to air to make the dems look good.

This is even scarier than I thought.

Mainstream media only does stories favorable to Obama? Shocking. Simply shocking.
