Following the receipt of a retraction demand, NBC News has quietly edited the Internet edition of a segment that aired on the highly-rated “Today Show” in which anchor Andrea Mitchell claimed Juanita Broaddrick’s rape accusation against Bill Clinton had been “discredited.”
After receiving the legal letter, penned by Broaddrick’s attorney and son, Kevin L. Hickey, NBC removed the word “discredited” from the network’s Internet version of Mitchell’s video report, Broaddrick and Hickey told this reporter. However, NBC did not make any indication of the edit in the video or on the webpage that hosts it.
Nor did NBC fulfill Broaddrick’s request, which she says was communicated in the letter, for an apology from Mitchell on the “Today Show” as well as an acknowledgement on the show and on NBC’s website that there is no information that Broaddrick’s story has been discredited. Instead, a staffer from NBC informed Hickey that the “discredited” statement had been removed, Broaddrick and Hickey said.
“It is incredibly disappointing that NBC and Andrea Mitchell will not publicly apologize for this egregious error, especially considering that NBC has retroactively edited the online version of the story and taken out the word ‘discredited,’” Hickey told Breitbart News.
“Why not now go the extra step, the morally right step, and publicly acknowledge the mistake and publicly apologize?” he said.
“My mom’s credibility was just fine for Lisa Myers and NBC when the story was initially aired. Nothing has changed. Yet NBC apparently thinks it is okay to disparage a victim like this and then do nothing to rectify the situation.”

Why does NBC still have a license to broadcast?
Bwahahahahahaha!!!!
NBC...Andrea Mitchell....”why not do the morally right step?”
Bwahahahahaha!
MSM crackup of the day. I can’t breathe....
Andrea Mitchell’s style of “journalism” would have worked quite well in Nazi Germany.
Exactly! And why does CBS? Do forged documents mean nothing?
That after Lisa Meyers investigation and report concluding Juanita Broadrick was credible, even in information Meyers dug up that was obscure or that Broadrick couldn’t have known, the media did nothing more than attempt to pretend it didn’t exist was astounding.
A collective, synchronized, “squirrel” head-turn.
When NBC screwed over Zimmerman with their edited “He’s BLACK..!” 911 tape, didn’t he make a lot of money..?
Money is good.
Juanita should have good, also.
LOTS of good.
Why did NBC reportedly pay Chelsea Clinton $600,000 a year?
I guess we could legitimately say NBC has just been discredited - except that would be old news.
The corruption of the leftist media and the leftists in general will continue to build on itself until the very weak foundation it’s built on crumbles beneath it taking it all down it one fell swoop.
I look forward to that day and will celebrate every year on that date to the demise of the dem party and the complete exposure of its corruption to the core.

She even looks the part. An SS skull and crossbones hat would fit her nicely.
The same judge that tried to get him convicted tossed out his lawsuit against NBC
Protection money.
“Nice network you got there, pal, be a shame...”
LMAO
NBC = Never Berate Clinton
NBC and Andrea ... have you no shame?
“Andrea Mitchell” could be used as a byword for what you scrape off the bottom of your boot.
So much for the victims’’ “right to be believed”.
