NBC Nightly News Puts "ILIE" in Graphic Next to Bush's Face
NBC's "RATS"? Four years ago, the NBC Nightly News took seriously the appearance of the letters "RATS," in a single frame of an enlargement of part of the word "BUREAUCRATS," in an anti-Gore ad from the Bush campaign. The September 12, 2000 NBC Nightly News carried two full stories on the controversy. Jump ahead four years, and on Monday night the NBC Nightly News displayed the letters "ILIE" for 16 seconds next to President George W. Bush's face in a "Decision 2004" graphic beside anchor Tom Brokaw as he introduced a story by David Gregory. The letters came from the word "FAMILIES" in a sign on the far side of Bush, which read: "TAX RELIEF FOR AMERICAN WORKING FAMILIES."

  No, silly...NBC was merely trying to emphasize George's respect for erstwhile tennis player Andrew Ilie, who turned pro in '94 and plays right-handed, I believe.  Heck, in '94 I was still living on Laurel St. but would move within two years after having upgraded to Job 2.0.  Besides, I really never liked tennis all that much, anyway...

Yet another reason why I shouldn't drink water while reading posts. ;D

that's nothing... check out this picture that ran the day after the debates.

I notice nobody on the Right wants to talk about Faux News' Carl Cameron, his fake news story, and his conficts of interest.  Instead we have nonsense about the word "lies" in "families" juxtaposed to Bush's picture on NBC.

well, it's not like he ran a story about documents that later turned out to be fake.  That would be much worse than just making crap up right?

Just one thought: why is there a problem with GWB and "ILIE" next to him?  OF COURSE he lies, however honest a politician may try to be (and I really don't think Dubya has tried that hard), he'll have told the occasional porkie.

So surely the picture is merely accurate news reporting, right?

This is just too silly.  I don't know why we bother.  My estimation of GWB is about the same as my estimation of Lil' Georgie.
