Nope. Used to work for NBC. This is a story one of the affiliates did that will get BIG notice and (most important to NBC) the network will have to spend minimal dough to air it. The network then will, of course, take full credit for it. Regardless of how it seems sometimes, networks are less about agenda and more about ratings when an affiliate hands them a story on a silver platter.
One local story, one time, no follow-up is about what we expect from the MSM
