NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams thinks Limbaugh should get more credit
January 24, 2005 4:50 pm ET
Brian Williams, who replaced Tom Brokaw as anchor and managing editor of NBC's Nightly News on December 2, 2004, said in an interview with C-SPAN founder, president, and CEO Brian Lamb: "it's my duty to listen to {nationally syndicated radio host} Rush" Limbaugh and that "Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due."
From the December 26, 2004, interview:
WILLIAMS: I do listen to Rush. I listen to it from a radio in my office, or depending on my day, if I'm in the car, I will listen to Rush. And he will tell you I've been listening for years. I think it's my duty to listen to Rush. I think Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due, because his audience for so many years felt they were in the wilderness of this country. No one was talking to them.

Rush said to millions of Americans, you have a home. Come with me. For three hours a day you can listen and hear the like-minded calling in from across the country, and I'll read to you things perhaps you didn't see that are out there. I think Rush gave birth to the FOX News Channel. I think Rush helped to give birth to a movement. I think he played his part in the Contract with America. So I hope he gets his due as a broadcaster.
Here are some examples of Limbaugh's commentary, for which Williams apparently thinks Limbaugh has "yet to get the credit he is due." He has:
Brand new but this could get interesting.

4. Brian Williams is a pretty-boy idiot who has no clue what a
journalist does. He gets paid to read whatever comes up on the tele prompter, and that's the extent of what he does.
Is this DUmmy supporting Brian Williams for president?

Why not? He supported Obama.

Like the Communist Democrats and Obama, Rush lives in the MSM minds 24/7......rent free.

Maybe Brian wants a job at FOX now.

Kind of like a community organizer that reads from a teleprompter as well. Your argument is DUmb primitive. :tongue:
