It is our professional opinion that Brian Williams is a stone-cold fox who can do no wrong, but the site Crooks and Liars disagrees. In a recent post, they accuse him of slamming the New York Times for being shallow, and then hypocritically running a fluff piece that night about Miley Cyrus's photogate (a segment you can watch here).
So, is Williams throwing rocks from glass houses? Or is his show's coverage of Miley Cyrus totally different from the Times coverage of nudist colonies? More importantly, if we were both single, do you think he'd date us?

1. Brian Williams is a sweet, good hearted man. I used to work for NBC - 30 Rock, so the TV in my office was always tuned into the studio, even when itwas off-air. Brian always showed concern for those in his stories (off-air), spoke and listened to staff. no prima don here. He is also a seasoned anchor in one of the most largest news shows. That should not preclude him from making some remarks about another news media. He also is a businessman, who knows he has to cover the fluff, also, and he does so with a straight (although his mouth is rather coooked) face.

2. he's a total hypocrite ... although he is handsome ... he has to be handsome since he's nothing more than a news model ...

3. Achor or not, heartthrob or not, these men (and women) don't necessarily decide for themselves what stories are going to be reported. Whether or not we as consumers agree with the views being expressed by a reporter, does not make it right for us to assume that those are his/her personal views. He is just doing his JOB, and we have the option of changing the channel.
