NBC Blasts Netanyahu Ahead of His 'Controversial Speech' to Congress (Weather man Roker takes shot)
NewsBusters ^ | March 2, 2015 | 12:00 PM EST | By Kyle Drennen

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."

Al Roker may very well be one of the top ten most stupid people who have ever lived.

A real non-braniac.

Really would not expect anything less from the anti-semite Nazi left of America.

There are some truly repugnant people in this country.

Al believes in global warming and hes wrong. And he is wrong on Bibi trying to defend his nation from a possible nuke attack from Iran down the road
Shame on them

Used to anti-semite was a bad thing but now, with our Muslim Prez, it's apparently a badge of honor.

Sieg Heil!

The leftists are ranting about Bibi’s talk tomorrow for the last few weeks, and the fact that it will continue all the way to the actual speech is only indicative of a DESIRE to destroy the US-Israeli relationship. At this point, with Bibi already in the District of Corruption, he is not going to take heed of this criticism and just pick up and leave, cancelling his speech. That being the case, the ONLY reason to continue the anti-Bibi rant is to kill the relationship, and then blame Israel/Bibi on Iranian nukes (all the while negotiating how to HELP them get nukes). The negotiations from the Ø regime is focused on giving the Iranians Safe Harbor to their goals.

Savannah Guthrie says that “Netanyahu arrived AHEAD of a controversial speech..”

Now that is great writing, isn’t it? Did she expect him to “arrive BEHIND” a controversial speech?

The only “behind” here is Guthrie.

NBC - Nothing But Communism; Nothing But Crap; The No Brains Channel

Andrea Mitchell - giving trolls a bad name for decades.

Al Roker - Lost his brain when he lost his weight. Roker The Joker. Why anyone pays any serious attention to him is beyond rational thinking.

Years ago, when I watched The Today Show, there was an episode on interpretation of dreams. Katie, Matt and I think Ann Curry all had their dreams interpreted. It was a long segment and just plain stupid and weird - we all dream- who gives a crap on what your wine soaked mind remembers. Millionaire’s dreams are different than mine, but, whatever. Anyway, the next day there was a HUGE apology from Katie because crybaby Al wasn’t included and his feelings got hurt - wah. A fricking full grown man being sad because he didnt get on the stupid train with the rest of them. So then they followed up with Al getting his stupid dream interpreted. I never watched it again. He just looks like a thumb. But, that was the episode that cemented him onto the team instead of just being the weatherman.

It is really an awful thing.

Never in my life has a Jewish person ever done anything to me, never even so much as a harsh word.

I can’t say the same of Obama’s ilk.

This world stinks of the 1930’s.
