Rich Noyes, Director of Research at the Media Research Center and Senior Editor of NewsBusters, appeared at about 5:37pm EST Thursday afternoon on
The Big Story with John Gibson
on the Fox News Channel. He addressed the liberal bias at NBC News and how, after a ratings slide that has left
NBC Nightly News
in second place behind ABC's
World News
, NBC is replacing the Executive Producer of the newscast, the
New York Times reported
.
Rich raised how ABC's World News , but not the NBC Nightly News , aired a story important to pro-lifers about the survival of the earliest-born ever premature baby, coverage detailed in this NewsBusters item . Gibson asked about the role of controversy over William Arkin , the NBC News military analyst who called troops in Iraq a “mercenary force” and scolded them for daring to criticize Americans for saying they support the troops but not the mission.
