What's Going On At NBC News?

Can someone tell me what the heck is going on at NBC News? Slowly, but steadily, their 6:30 newscast seems to be moving more and more to the center. Maybe it's just me, but their evening news seems to be much more........ ACCURATE! And fair. The love affair between the "almighty one" and NBC News seems to be dwindling. Honestly! Political reporter Chuck Todd has been particularly tough on Obama and his rush to get the health care bill through Congress. I have been watching the "Nightly News" now for two straight weeks (no, I'm not a pain killers) and to my surprise, there has been no bloviating about what a fantastic job the President is doing. In fact, after Obama's laughable press conference last week, Todd was actually critical of Obama, correctly pointing out the the "Chosen One" did nothing to further his health care agenda. HUH? He even noted how Obama botched the last question of the night by demeaning the Cambridge, MA police force by calling them stupid. AND, there has been no extended coverage of the number of soldiers killed in Afganistan during July. Furthermore, and I swear I'm not making this up, they have been extremely fair to Sarah Palin. Has Brian Williams finally gotten a handle on the left-wingers running wild in the newsroom? So somebody please tell me, am I just finally turning into the left-wing radical that's inside all of us, or am I onto something??? Please, watch the NBC Nightly News this week, and let me know what you think. P.S. This in no way refers to MSNBC. The only thing that would cause THAT "network" to be fair would be a labotomy.
