While ABC and CBS highlighted the knife in the attacker's hand, this is how NBC highlighted it. On the ground.

They cannot be this stupid, right? After CBS News was caught editing the bodycam footage of the police shooting of Adam Toledo in Chicago, which has also sparked outrage, NBC News decides to edit the 911 call concerning the officer-involved shooting in Ohio, where a 16-year-old was shot and killed after she tried to stab another person (via Columbus Dispatch):
In an unprecedented move, Columbus police showed body camera footage of the shooting of a 16-year-old girl by a Columbus police officer just hours after the incident on the Southeast Side.
The shooting, which happened about 20 minutes before a guilty verdict was announced in the trial of Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer who killed George Floyd, prompted hundreds to protest at the shooting site and Downtown.
The video shows an officer approaching a driveway with a group of young people standing there. In the video, it appears that the 16-year-old, identified now as Ma’Khia Bryant, who was moments later shot by police, pushes or swings at a person, who falls to the ground.
Bryant then appears to swing a knife at a girl who is on the hood of a car, and the officer fires his weapon what sounds like four times, striking Bryant, who died a short time later.
"It's a tragic day in the city of Columbus. It's a horrible, heartbreaking situation," Mayor Andrew J. Ginther. "We felt transparency in sharing this footage, as incomplete as it is at this time" was critical.
Yeah, this word “appears” keeps popping up. It’s just another exercise in the liberal media being unable or unwilling, to tell the truth. The video is quite clear [WARNING: graphic content]:
And the 911 caller is also very specific as to why she’s asking for police assistance prior to the shooting (via Fox News):
A 911 caller alerted police that someone was "trying to stab us" before the fatal officer-involved shooting of 16-year-old Ma'Khia Bryant, who appeared to attack two other females with a knife on Tuesday.
Police released new information about the case on Wednesday, including two 911 calls, the body-worn camera footage of three officers who responded to the call and the identity of the officer who pulled the trigger.
The first 911 call came in at 4:32 p.m. The caller, who has not been identified by police, said amid a commotion in the background, "[indistinguishable]...trying to fight us, trying to stab us, trying to put their hands on our grandma. Get here now."
And for some reason, NBC News decided to edit out the stabbing portion in that 911 call. Nicholas Fondacaro of Newsbusters caught the outlet red-handed. It would seem CBS News learned from their Toldeo screw up. And ABC News also highlighted how Ms. Brown was armed during this melee which led to her death:
In their report on the officer-involved shooting in Columbus, Ohio, NBC Nightly News deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out the part where the caller says a girl was "trying to stab us." They also don't show viewers the knife in the attacker's hand just before the shots. pic.twitter.com/r5uXD1qDb1— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) April 22, 2021
In stark contrast, CBS Evening News showed the important part of the 911 call. "These grown girls over here trying to fight us, trying to stab us," the caller says.
They also slow down the video and zoom in on the knife in the attacker's hand. pic.twitter.com/izvXaUH6Ki— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) April 22, 2021
For World News Tonight's part, ABC also shared the important part of the 911 call where the attempted stabbing was mentioned. They also stopped the video and highlighted the knife. pic.twitter.com/Ti9j4JNLaS— Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) April 22, 2021

Oh, and Adam Toledo was armed with a handgun when he was shot. Is it disturbing that he was only 13 years old? Yes, but this is the brutal nature of policing at times. This Ohio shooting saw an armed woman attacking someone else with a knife and the officer had seconds to react. The 911 call says there were armed suspects in this brawl. Why would NBC News edit this if not to spread misinformation and a narrative that only bolsters liberal America’s unhinged obsession with defunding the police? This is deliberate, a throwback to when they edited the 911 call made by George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case.
They did it during the Trayvon Martin case as well. They deliberately OMITTED a critical portion of George Zimmerman's 911 conversation to suggest that he wanted to kill Trayvon because he was a black man! Evil bastards !!
Here it is to remind everyone how this news network HASN'T CHANGED:
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/nbc-news-trayvon-martin-george-zimmerman-911-call_n_1401167
[EXCERPT]
NBC News is admitting that it made an “error” editing a recording of George Zimmerman’s 911 call moments before he shot Trayvon Martin.
“Today” aired an edited version of Zimmerman’s call to the police in a segment about Martin. The show’s audio made it sound as though Zimmerman had volunteered that Martin was “black.” In actuality, the 911 officer asked if the “suspicious person” he was calling about was “black, white or Hispanic.”
NBC News launched an internal investigation into the story. On Tuesday, the network expressed “regret” for the omission, and apologized to its viewers.
“During our investigation it became evident that there was an error made in the production process that we deeply regret,” NBC News said in a statement to the Hollywood Reporter. “We will be taking the necessary steps to prevent this from happening in the future and apologize to our viewers.”
Which is why for years the media can’t be trusted.
They do it because it works. Americans are stupid.
in the end, it’s going to be ‘street justice’ that holds these cancerous MSM outfits accountable. They’ve literally ruined our nation.
They don’t want to “report” the news. They are not even about “news” anymore. They are 100% on-board with the leftist goal of “remaking America”.
It is a goal oriented business. Just listen to the CNN tapes from Project Veritas. They do not want to “report” the news, they want to manufacture the news and create the narrative.
Less than a day later, bodycam footage revealed that Bryant was clearly wielding a knife - and about to stab the other black teen when she was shot.
NBC News, however, continued peddling the 'unarmed' lie with a deceptive edit of the 911 call to remove a reference to the attempted stabbing, as well as the video - which NBC stops right before it's apparent the teen is holding a knife.
In stark contrast, CBS Evening News showed the important part of the 911 call. "These grown girls over here trying to fight us, trying to stab us," the caller says.
They also slow down the video and zoom in on the knife in the attacker's hand. pic.twitter.com/izvXaUH6Ki
Here's what NBC News DID NOT show:CONCLUSION: NBC NEWS IS TRYING TO INFLAME RACIAL TENSION !!
Have to keep up the tradition of honest news at NBC, eh?
Bump
Of course they can.
Why? Because the people that watch them either don’t care, fully support what they’re doing or are too effin’ dumb to realize the problems this causes.
No different than that absolute moron that interviewed one of the lawyers that represented President Trump, where she asked if it was that big of a deal that Siskin, et al fabricated evidence. She doesn’t care, as long as the result is what they want. The “end justifies the means”.
Let’s see how she would feel if she were the defendant and prosecutors fabricated evidence on her.
Exactly. This made me remember they did much the same with Zimmerman. They even went so far as to fudge out his head wounds.
Does anyone have footage of ANY media ( mainstream or alternative ) interviewing the INTENDED STABBING VICTIM?
I’d like to hear her side of the story.
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.
Caught Red-Handed: NBC News Busted Again for Editing Out a Crucial Detail in the 911 Call of the Ohio Shooting

btt
The "reason" is, IMO, that they are trying to incite a riot.
And isn't this a crime?
It should be noted as well, that CBS "news" allegedly threatened to reveal the names and addresses of the Chauvin jury members?
Isn't threatening a jury also a crime?
And further evidence of media bias being believed, and causing serious problems, is demonstrated in a video, of an interview of some young black people, who TRULY think there is genocide happening in this country, and that thousands and thousands of blacks are being murdered by police every year. (The number of black people killed by police last year was 18.)
The main stream media is the enemy of the people.
Their "fake news" deletions and distortions of facts, have cost many lives, and billions of dollars in damage, over the past decades, but, they say they are providing valuable, unbiased news, (giving both sides in disputes between individuals, and presenting all facts), for the benefit of the public.
Perhaps Journalistic Malpractice needs to become a real thing?
If big media were to be held to the journalistic standards of factual, truthful, reporting, (that they claim they present to the people, when covering stories), perhaps this nation would be much better off?
Just my two cents.
