according to Frank Luntz, Republican Pollster, General Bullshitter, and Well-Fed Asswipe.
The GOP aren't stupid--they aren't going to "go to" someone who doesn't think the way they do.
So forgive me if my view of BW hosting anything is "Fuck Brian Williams!"
GOP pollster Frank Luntz previously wrote that "Williams has emerged as the 'go-to network anchor' because of his brains and 'lack of detectable ideological bias.'" Williams is also a confessed admirer of Rush Limbaugh, saying: "I do listen to Rush. I listen to it from a radio in my office, or depending on my day, if I'm in the car, I will listen to Rush" and protesting that "I think Rush has actually yet to get the credit he is due." Williams invited Limbaugh on as a guest several times to the show he hosted prior to becoming anchor and royally referred to Limbaugh as "our friend Rush Limbaugh."
