Why the panic to edit or remove it, is it a ‘truth hurts’ issue or a ‘slander’ issue?
It’s both. However, NBC did not have to edit it nearly as much as they did, in order to protect themselves from being sued for slander.
Good question, unfortunately I do not have the answer. I suspect it trampled on the wrong toes though, whose I am not sure of. George Soros’s toes?
GE owns NBC. GE is going hat in hand to Congress asking for bail out money (even though it has a healthy balance sheet) because it wants its lending division declared a bank.
