‘The Thrust of this Article Is No Longer Correct’: NBC News Backs Down from Fake News Hit(TR)

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.

Don’t forget Shemp Smith, “judge” Nappie & Neil Cavuto over at Fox. They are still “on the job” trying to screw the President!

Basically . :)

The MSN knows they have lost control of the narrative.

The ‘editors involved’ were just following orders from NBC anyway. Their jobs have all become GET TRUMP at NBC.

Were the 'editors involved' not spewing anti Trump propaganda, they would not be employed for long.

Fake News goes on Page One above the fold.

Retractions get buried on page E-74 next to an ad for snow tires.

They’ve had decades of experience with this roll-and-shuffle.
