    NBC, MSNBC, and Brian Williams have always been corrupt, both venal and superficial.

    They waged war on the Democrats for years, promoting the GOP, especially John McCain. In the 1990's they promoted the Republican line about wonderful Reagan, despite 30 corruption convictions of his minions for offenses while in office, and corrupt Clinton, despite no such convictions. They then moved on to trashing Al Gore and beatifying McCain. When the country turned against Bush, Williams, Matthews, and NBC slowly began pandering for the Democrats, at least Obama, as actively as they had for the GOP. But make no mistake, their embrace of the generals shows they are only concerned with money and power, and they will turn on the Democrats and Obama if their bosses demand it. They are revolting.
