NBC News has finally, a full day after being called out for printing the fake news, admitted that its article published on Christmas alleging President Donald Trump snubbed the troops during the holidays this year is incorrect.
NBC has altered its headline and story, changing their meaning to remove the original anti-Trump thrust, and added an extended editor’s note beyond the original editor’s note appended when it was first discovered to be an inaccurate piece. The new editor’s note admits in no uncertain terms that NBC News printed fake news, and that it was only leaving the article up in the interest of transparency despite the fact that “the thrust of this article is no longer correct” according to NBC News’s own editors.
....
NBC News continues to, despite claims of being interested in transparency via its editor’s note, resist journalistic integrity and accountability on this front, and will not through a spokeswoman name the editor or editors involved in the publication of this fake news hit on Trump. NBC News also, through a spokeswoman, will not answer if there will be any accountability at all when it comes to the reporter on the byline of the article or the editors involved in publishing the fake news attacking the president.

boy 0bama went to Hawaii every year for a vacation and just happened to see a few troops while there... BIG difference
REALLY PISSED ME OFF..HIS NAME FAILS ME AT THIS TIME? BUT HE IS ON OFTEN AND HAS A SMUG ASS SMILE AND ATTITUDE...
FROM NOW ON WHEN I SEE HIS HATEFUL FACE, OFF THAT NETWORK WILL GO...AS SOON AS HE DID COMMENT I MOVED OVER TO FOX BUSINESS.
I just thought that it might be possible that President Trump has out-flanked the various media. A serious dollar value of folks are getting their news from President Trump.
The fake media needs to be verified very microscopically. Those whose lives are dependent upon Media must do all they can to preserve Media. Which brings to mind the idea of a FreeRepublic.com with the capacity to form a network of any number of similar thinking people...or groups.
The 1st Amendment is very "Press" friendly. Good. The Media are not exempt from Libel...therefore, holding the Media responsible for libel when committed might squeeze out a little truth from those who deliver the "news".
Thank you for pointing that out. You beat me!
Now days Christmas ends on the first day of Christmas— of the old Christian Christmas.
Christmas always used to begin, universally, on Christmas Eve decorating the tree, the season of Christmas began on Christmas Day, lasting for The Twelve Days of Christmas.
As you said, truly, Christian Christmas feast days were adhered to by all.
I need to research when and why the modernist cultural shift changed out even the memory of all that Christmas tradition. Wiped out, generally, today.
Was that the black, mexican/Irish guy Juan Williams?
But today the produced more fake news. They said guns killed police. Omitting the “FACT” that proportioned these weapons.
If you can’t believe NBC’s “thrust”, then NBC you cannot “trust”. PERIOD, and you can keep your doctor!
#8. Re “thrust” if taught in journalism class. Nope, it’s found in the “Bill Clinton Oval Office Manual for Intern Seduction”. Footnotes include references to John and Ted Kennedy, Chris Dodd, Gary Hart, Elliot Spitzer and the dynamic dual team of “Strzoking/Page”.
Re “news organizations” and “trust”. Drop a couple of letters and “thrust turns to “trust” and then “rust”.
American mainstream media is in, I hope, its’ final death-throes because they have, on purpose, lost sight of the “thrust” of honest and accurate reporting, have lost the “trust” of sane American people, and are as corrosively “rusting” and poisonous as a Tetanus Carrying Tin Can.
The MSM, like the NY Times and its “Old Gray Lady” image, has turned into :Old Gray news whores” instead of “guardians of the truth, accuracy, integrity and democracy.”
“Like the sands of time, they will crumble and blow away”, and America will be a safer, more sane and just nation for it.
[I think I’ll go out and burn my old Press Card for New Year’s. I’ve got a burning desire to help start cleaning up the media, again, as we tried to do when we formed Accuracy in Media in 1969.
“Once more into the breech”.]
Maybe because the secular world only cares about the secular aspect of the Christmas season,that being the shopping.
How about for punishment NBC and all branches and affiliates go dark for two days.
“No longer correct?” It was NEVER CORRECT!
“We cannot plausibly deny the negative spin of our article on Trump, even though we still very much want to.”
We don’t need an answer as to who ordered the fake news...
THEY ALL DO FAKE NEWS...
and the suits just keep making the mistake of underestimating our great President Trump. (I love typing “President Trump,” it is soothing.
nope not Juan..
but he too is an ass wipe in my eyes...
Fake news is again confirmed to be fake news. Will they ever even attempt to clean up their act?
““the thrust of this article is no longer correct””
uh, it was NEVER correct: it was ALWAYS false ...
So they got caught is such a huge bald faced lie they could not deny it.
“The liars got caught again” should have been the headline.
His name is Charles Lane and I had rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard!
