The Brian Williams interview? I believe Bush retracted his statement that he didn't follow the news as "needling" reporters in that interview. He said he got up with the morning papers, news mags, and journals, but lightly watched TV news.
Far be it from me to praise Bush, but that's the course of action I like to follow.
Otherwise, you're right. It was poor journalism. When I first saw Brian Williams on CNBC, all I could think was that he was a Republican stooge. Then he made some noises about growing up in a blue collar liberal household, but this wet kiss makes me wonder.
