Political Scrabble

NBC News is scoffing at the letters "ILIE" next to President Bush in a video clip. However, the Media Research Center points out NBC News spent two days on a similar coincidental configuration of letters in a Bush ad in 2000.

Actually, I think it was a slow news day for the MRC. Someone was watching Tom Brokaw WAY too closely to find this. Sorry, Bryon, this isn't liberal bias. Weird things happen. Was it deliberate? I doubt it. Should NBC News get badgered about it as much as they badgered the Bush campaign? Absolutely. It will make them think twice about creating news instead of reporting it.
