This Week in Media Bias History: Which NBC Host Called the NRA ‘Pigs?'

January 27th, 2018 12:15 PM

You may think that our latest edition of This Week in Media Bias History contains examples TOO CRAZY to be real. Sadly, they were actually uttered by journalists. In 2015, ex-Today show host Bryant Gumbel called the NRA “pigs” and a “curse upon the American landscape.” But the most memorable event in this week’s media bias history came as we observed the 30th anniversary of Dan Rather’s fake news ambush of George H.W. Bush. 

Below are Rich Noyes’s collected tweets from the fourth week of This Day in Media Bias History. To get the latest daily examples, be sure and follow Noyes on Twitter. (To see the first week's recap, go here. The second is here. Week three is here.)
