They’re covering their butts over at NBC because it is NOT discredited.

It is, in fact, very credited. And credible.

If Hillary gets called on it, and has to answer to it, and, indeed, has to lie about it, NBC looks stupid.

But beyond that, I went to Breitbart and apparently it’s also because Broaddrick’s lawyer threatened to sue:

“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.”

More form the Breitbart article I linked above (that site is always so slow to load!):


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.”

A spokesperson for NBC News did not return a Breitbart News request for comment.

That is actually good news.

NBC was caught spewing propaganda and was called to task on it.

This needs to happen more often. The MSM should be held responsible for the lies they propagate.

I'm glad people can hit back, and hard, with law suits.

The other MSM channels need to broadcast the news about NBC's deception, exposure, and culpability far and wide. (Something tells me they won't. They'll rally together to protect their own.)
