From the Notable Quotables Award for worst reporting comes this first place winner from Brian Williams NBC NEWS ANCHOR. [Personally I would hand him a traitor award instead.] Notice how he is putting the first American presidents on the same level as the current Iranian president. This is the kind of moral relativism that should be condemned in the strongest terms possible. As long as people like Mr. Williams anchor nightly news bulletins, America is going to have a much more difficult task defeating radical Islamic based terror – especially if those news anchors are making excuses for the president of Iran. Anyway the text from Notable Quotables:

Andrea Mitchell: "It is an iconic picture: American hostages, hands bound and blindfolded, being paraded outside the U.S. embassy in Tehran by their captors. But has one of those student radicals now become Iran’s newly elected President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad?…Tonight, U.S. intelligence officials say that they will continue to study this, but may never have definitive proof of what the role was of Iran’s new president, Brian." Brian Williams: "Andrea, what would it all matter if proven true? Someone brought up today the first several U.S. Presidents were certainly revolutionaries and might have been called terrorists at the time by the British Crown, after all." Mitchell: "Indeed, Brian." — NBC Nightly News, June 30. [91 points] |
