The Media Research Center announced the Slam Uncle Sam award winner to Brian Williams of NBC Nightly News for these comments:
Quote: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.
What has American media come to? This is ridiculous and Williams knows that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is a terrorist by anyone's standards and comparing the US government to the British government back during the time of the revolution is a shameful thing to do on the nightly news.
