“According to the press conference I just heard, they praised NBC for acting so quickly — and the *emphasized* this word — NBC *immediately* contacted authorities. That’s exactly what was said — and emphasized — at the news conference.”
Well sorry. It’s a 24/7 news period, there is a 3-4 hour gap between when Capus got it and when it was turned over. *NBC News Pres. Capus stated this to Matthews on Hardball at 7pm after the Bryan Williams Evening News.
I think what Capus meant was there was a 3-4 hour period between when they received it and when they released it to the press in general. He said they called the authorities in immediately, but that they didn’t release the info to the public/general press until the 4:30 presser.
You said — “Well sorry. It’s a 24/7 news period, there is a 3-4 hour gap between when Capus got it and when it was turned over.”
It was reported *immediately*. But the authorities had to come out there to get it. And I would imagine that not just *anyone* could get it. So, they would have had to go through a chain of command, then dispatch someone over there and pick it up.
There would be a difference in when it got into the authorities hands, versus, when it was *reported*. And so, it was *reported* immediately — according to the news conference.
