Thinkprogress:
Right wing media figures have been charging that the media is “biased” because the three major network news anchors accompanied Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) on his current trip overseas and ignored Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ). But, as ThinkProgress noted yesterday, Newsweek has reported that McCain “chose not to take reporters” with him to Europe, thus making the Right’s charges baseless. Yesterday during an interview on the UK’s Channel 4 News, NBC News anchor Brian Williams confirmed Newsweek’s report:
WILLIAMS: When Sen Obama comes to Europe and the Middle East — and in effect the pejorative is summons — the presenters or anchors from the so called big three over the air broadcast networks in the States and offers interview deals with a varying degree of exclusivity and they all agree to go …There has been no, I must say, similar offer from the McCain campaign with which we are in touch with constantly.

Brian is kicking butt now as he speaks the truth about the White House. Yes Connie did it and I hope Obama remembers that when she ask for a job.
Brian is in Iran and will interview my friend the President of Iran on Monday. Ok I like the guy because he's educated and his country is in the bible with so much history. No I don't agree with him on some issues but I wouldn't treat him like the US did when he came as a guest either. You now Putin is still the best but educated people are interesting because you can learn something you didn't know. Look Bush is still reading My Pet Goat so he can't read. McCain can't remember who he is half of the time so he's a waste of time. Now Bill Clinton has always been my choice to discuss politics and law. But if it's just law I'll take Fitz and Randall as my choice. It's always interesting to talk to educated people so you can continue to learn.
