Since when does the news show a full movie trailer and report it AS NEWS????

Umm, when it's a controversial film? Both with the content and distribution? When it wins the Cannes D'Or? (Silly award, yes, but still news) When it is produced by the world's most famous "documentarian"? (It is indeed propaganda, not a documentary.)

Did Brokaw beat other networks to the punch? Did he show Gibson's trailer - another controversial film? Or the "Day After Tomorrow" trailer? I'd want answers to these questions before I could claim bias.

Showing this film as "news" it nothing more than bias and you know it! There is nothing to be gained from showing the trailer. A mention of his "award", maybe. A mention of the movie itself, but to show the entire trailer? I think not!
