A Quick Take on Brian Williams
Did anyone else catch NBC's Brian Williams on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart?
He blasted the troops, police and firefighters in New Orleans who are trying to restore/preserve order and peace to a city with the recent memories of deadly looting and violent crime. Sorry if they are running a little low on patience, especially for the media circus swirling around them as they try and do their jobs. Remember these are the guys the media blasted Bush for not having down there.
And he kept on about how many "automatic weapons" the police and troops have on them. At one point he said and I paraphrase, "right now there are more automatic weapons in the city of New Orleans than any other place on Earth."
The thing is he was going on about "automatic weapons" like troops and police having guns is a bad thing. Has he forgot about the mayhem that just erupted there and the scattered outbreaks that could easily reoccur?
And then at the tail end of the interview (of which I only saw the last half) Stewart asked if the federal government (read: George W. Bush) is taking too much of the heat for Katrina and if not enough heat is being put on the local and state governments. Brian's reply was hilarious, "I don't do opinions."
Yeah right, what a hack! After the tirade he just finished up as well as his theoretical question (read: statement) comparing American colonial patriots favorably to terrorists in Iraq I think we know that Brian isn't afraid of "doing an opinion." And I think we all know which side of the aisle his not-so-subtle opinions will be falling on. Anyone naive enough to think that the liberal media was starting to straighten it out after the retirement of the Big 3 should really reconsider. It looks like they aren't going to change a thing.
