Scarborough Shocked by Snark Over 'Straight' Brian Williams—But Shoudn't Be
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Joe Scarborough is shocked by the outpouring of "sheer hatred, snarkiness and snideness" directed at Brian Williams.

On today's Morning Joe, Scarborough drew a contrast between himself, who as an opinion person has to expect much criticism, and Williams, who he claimed reported the news in a "straight" way. But as Newsbusters and our parent MRC has carefully documented, Williams has been anything but a "straight" reporter of the news. Like so many of his MSM brethren, Williams had a distinctly liberal slant.

Joe Scarborough can’t figure out why people are snarky about the downfall of a liberal media member like Brian Williams. Ping to Today show list.

Would reading the news in a “gay” way have had a different result?

Yeah, like they offered the same respect to Sarah Palin or any other conservative.

Scarborough is a typical media presstitute. He’ll be on any side that NBC tells him to as long as they cut him a check every week. No one watches this pitiful excuse for a channel except for the ObamaBots, a dwindling audience.

Joe, Why don’t you start looking for the “Snark” in Lewis Carrol’s book.

Does anyone really thing Williams will return to his seat in 6 months? NO, it’s the cowardly liberal way to fire someone.

I just heard that Brian Williams will be leaving NBC News to start a career as a fact checker for the Obama Administration.

There are so many from which to choose but, on this occasion I'm talking about Brian Williams. Just listening to him embellish his "war" stories makes my stomach churn a little.
