NBC brass and legal team don’t have the sense to be embarrassed that their reporters and on-air talent would say things on the air that could be used in a positive manner by Obama in an ad.
Or to be embarrased that their “talent” are so factually incorrect — “independent study?” It used to be that a news organization could take the 5 seconds needed to verify that the Romney campaign never called for a 5 trillion tax cut. Now they pretend there’s some “independent study” that says otherwise.
