As I have written in previous posts, NBC and its cable network MSNBC continue to pretend that certain news event simply didn’t happen if they are likely to make the Obama administration look bad. Such has been the case with Benghazi, the IRS scandal and most recently the surfacing of embarrassing tapes showing the egotistic ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber revealing how the public was seen as stupid.

NBC didn’t disappoint the liberals this past week. Kelly O’Donnell warmly labeled Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as “the liberal wing’s newest star” when she spoke on the Senate floor in opposition to the funding bill. The same O’Donnell criticized Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) for “(holding up) all of Congress’ work to make his point,” while making her point that he had only been in the Senate for “just eight months.”
“How are we better than our enemies morally,” editorialized NBC’s Brian Williams during an interview with former CIA Director Michael Hayden while reporting on Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s attack on the CIA’s detention and interrogation program. “What if you, God forbid, members of your family, had to undergo some of treatments we are reading about in this report?” he shamefully asked Hayden.
Meanwhile, we say good bye to two of the left-leaning networks’ more prominent reporters. Ann Compton, who announced her retirement from ABC News several months ago, made news this week with her comments about President Obama’s “profanity-laced” off the record press meetings during a C-Span interview. Click her to see it.
As moderator of a 2012 presidential debate, CNN’s Candy Crowley revealed her bias when she interrupted Mitt Romney to support President Obama’s position that he had invoked the term terrorism. (aei.org)
CNN’s Candy Crowley should have been shown the door after her shameful “assist” to President Obama on invoking terrorism during the debate with Mitt Romney she moderated. Her bias was so blatant that she should have been asked to leave then. In an internal memo, CNN’s Jeff Zucker merely said, “Candy Crowley is leaving CNN after three decades with the network.”
As Hillary Clinton might put it, “fired or retiring, what difference does it make?”
