NBC's William's says must listen to Rush-gets praise from Luntz as "unbias

Brian Williams: Republicans' "go-to network anchor"?

Paul Bedard's "Washington Whispers" column in the February 14 edition of U.S. News & World Report noted that Brian Williams -- who replaced Tom Brokaw as anchor and managing editor of NBC's Nightly News on December 2, 2004 -- received accolades from discredited Republican pollster Frank Luntz in a memo to Republican Congressional leadership. In the memo, Bedard reported, Luntz wrote that "Williams has emerged as the 'go-to network anchor' because of his brains and 'lack of detectable ideological bias.'"

2. Yes
I have noticed this. Williams is much worse than Brokaw was.

"lack of detectable ideological bias" means he lines up with Luntz's idology so there is no bias. I can't stand the codespeak.
