Brian Williams has been scrutinized for a alleged liberal bias. Critics use past examples and statements to validate their point.<ref>http://www.mrc.org/Profiles/Williams/Williams_date.asp</ref>  After the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, Williams stated that America’s “military swagger” was a reason for the attacks. Also, while covering operation [[Enduring Freedom]], he remarked on the United States' bombing campaign, comparing it to the United States' bombing of Japan. The comparison brought criticism from Secretary of Defense [[Donald Rumsfeld]], who said,  “I heard various commentators expansively comparing what's taking place in Iraq today to some of the more famous bombing campaigns of World War II. There is no comparison. The weapons that are being used today have a degree of precision that no one ever dream of in a prior conflict.” <ref>http://www.mediaresearch.org/realitycheck/2004/fax20041130.asp</ref>

Williams showed his support for liberal president [[Bill Clinton]], when he said in a interview that, "[Clinton is] perhaps the most intellectually and physically active person to have held the job in decades. I've also said that if Americans were paying Presidents by the thought, we're getting a bargain in this guy because, my God, he's just always moving, his brain's moving, he hardly sleeps.”<ref>http://www.mediaresearch.org/realitycheck/2004/fax20041130.asp</ref>

He also expressed his thoughts of conservative values after a January 2000 [[Republican]] debate. Saying, “It’s red meat for conservatives, the positions rather strident tonight: anti-gay, pro-Jesus, and anti-abortion and no gray matter in between.”<ref>http://www.mediaresearch.org/realitycheck/2004/fax20041130.asp</ref>
