Could it be that the notional "liberal media bias" was bought off?

You realize that you just referenced something from "The Nation" don't you?

Yes, I did. But it's quoting Williams... if you get evidence that Williams is denying he said it, let me know.

Whether he can honestly deny it or not, he'd be a fool to do so publicly. After all, right now it is only on "The Nation" which is an obvious hack news outlet. If he publicly denies it, then it goes to the front page of more reputible news outlets. No, he'll never deny it, even if he could.

That's the beauty of yellow journalism; which, I assume you know full well, Keebler.

Just out of curiosity.. The Nation is certainly a deeply liberal magazine... but on what grounds do you label it hack news?

Simply on the basis that they are deeply liberal in thier basis, design, and intent. Which is similar to why I consider FOX news to be a "hack" entity.

Fair enough. At least you apply the standard equally.
