merrie says:

However, the t-shirt, above all, has the appearance of impropriety for a network that claims to report news and not just opinion and commentary. The implication of selling a “YES WE DID” t-shirt is that NBC was an active participant in helping the campaign as much as anyone who worked on the campaign staff, or, in the least, was an active supporter of Obama’s run.

WHAT ever happened to two sides of the story.

NBC should either be run out of town on a rail, which we all know won't happen........or brought up on charges of impropriety......... this is disgusting..
