Introducing a one-sided report on Monday's NBC Today that featured no criticism of President Obama, co-host Savannah Guthrie proclaimed: "Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has arrived ahead of a controversial speech to Congress tomorrow. And that visit at the invitation of Republicans is threatening to further strain the Obama administration's relations with Israel."
Correspondent Andrea Mitchell emphasized how unwelcome Netanyhu was for the White House: "Arriving in Washington without fanfare late Sunday, Israel's prime minister is at the center of a political firestorm. Shunned by the President, Vice President, and Secretary of State for coming to lobby Congress against a nuclear deal with Iran without prior notice to the White House, only two weeks before Israel's election."
The office of House Speaker John Boehner disputes the assertion that prior notice was not given to the White House: "On the morning of January 21, after notifying the administration, the Speaker issued the invitation to the Prime Minister and announced it to the public....The Prime Minister graciously accepted the invitation and asked to speak on March 3, when he will already be in Washington for the AIPAC conference."
Mitchell didn't bother to mention that explanation from the Speaker's office.
Not a single soundbite was included of any Republican supporting Netanyahu or a clip of Netanyahu himself criticizing Obama's Iran negotiations.
As if Mitchell's hit piece on the Israeli leader wasn't enough, weatherman Al Roker seized an opportunity to take another cheap shot at Netanyahu during the weather forecast minutes later: "This is Washington, D.C. Look at the White House, notice something in front of it. We've got this camera that always shows it. Icicles. I mean, this is really crazy stuff. Man, you would think Benjamin Netanyahu got there early."

Like Rush always says, you can tell who the Libs are afraid of by who they attack. Bibi could make Obama look the like bozo he is.
The Won’s media watchdogs have barked. They should remember what Barry does to dogs.
Yeah, I can't stand it when they refer to him as a meteorologist. He is a weatherman, basically a talking suit. He got his degree in communications.
The racist Al Roker gives his racist support to the racist POTUS, what a surprise.
‘Wake Up With Al’? I’d rather wake up face down in a puddle of my own vomit. Racist anti-semetic punk.
What time is he supposed to speak to Congress? I need to plan my lunch time so I can listen.
N.B.C. = Nothing But Crap
The White House News Networks are in full tantrum today.
I thought Benjamin Netanyahu gave an excellent speech at AIPAC yesterday. He’s saving his best for today, so I’m really looking forward to hearing him again. Unfortunately, before Obama leaves office, Netanyahu will have the opportunity to say “I told you so.”
Roker’s comments are pretty funny referencing the chilly relationship with Obama. Not sure that’s all that controversial.
Al “shitma pants at a white hosue dinner” Roker....
has about as much significance as a mumbling homeless person sleeping on a exhaust fan outside penn station looking for a handout ..... and the pravda media has even less cred.. the libtards are derangeed at the outcome of the recent elections and are totally irrational in their blind support for the traitor in the white house.. our benedict arnold
NBC sucks
Haven’t watched that garbage in years, since the days of Perky Katie.
