Brian Williams has be scrutinized for a alleged liberal bias. Critics Use past examples and statements to validate their point. After the attacks on 911, Williams stated that America’s “military swagger” was a reason for the attack. Well 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.”

In defense of charges of bais, Williams says that, "[ NBC News] have inordinate number of editors. Every word I write, before it goes on air, goes though all kinds of traps and filters, and its read by all kind of different people who point out bias."
