Tried to see if NBC did too, but didn't catch it while flipping around. But don't think they did.

Anyone know anything different.

I have to say this is so, so unethical and unprofessional that even their network news division is blacking out on this story.

Sorry, Brian Williams, you just lost some serious cred.

1. Assuming he had any---DU's own Nance Greggs did a great smackdown on him
entitled Brian vs.Vinny awhile back. Those more computer-savvy than me ( which would include the average 5 year old) can probably figure out how to find this.

3. So, so pathetic. Every other single network/cable station is covering it
that makes them look so, so bad.

Guess we always knew it, but obviously NBC has made it clear the bottom line trumps all.

5. Yeah so he could have plausible deniability by not having to be there
and having to choose to cover it or not cover it.

8. NBC asked their producers to "ignore" the Stewart/Cramer interview.
As long as 50% of the country gets the info, who cares? Faux is probably going pump the crap out of it to increase their own ratings, and it's going to get way more eyes than any of the MSM really wants.

They may belive they're using this to their advantage, but it's going to work out for US.
