Brian Williams Slighted Again: ABC Named Misinformer of the Year

Brian Williams wuz robbed!:

. . . Mark Halperin claimed that the "old media" -- broadcast news outlets and major newspapers -- were "biased against conservatives; there's no doubt about it." He stated, "I think we've got a chance in these last two weeks [before the then-upcoming midterm elections] to prove to conservatives that we understand their grievances. We're going to try to do better." But if "try[ing] to do better" to not appear "biased against conservatives" meant offering viewers conservative misinformation, Halperin shouldn't have worried; a review of dozens of items by Media Matters for America identifying and correcting conservative misinformation from ABC suggests that Halperin's network was "try[ing] to do better" throughout 2006. . . . These examples, and many more, earned ABC the distinction of being named Media Matters' Misinformer of the Year for 2006.

I'm sure Williams will be in the running for 2007.

    You can talk to most MSM members until your Democratic face is bluer than blue and they will not understand what is wrong with them.

    Is it possible that they all are on some kind debilitating Prozac?
