NBC reporter Kristen Welker appeared stunned when asked at the Republican National Convention why the network downplayed the gunshots at a Trump rally as simply 'popping noises.'
The network has been facing backlash since its breaking news story and posts about the shooting in Pennsylvania said the former president was rushed off the stage 'after popping noises' were heard.
Its New York-affiliated station even seemed to describe the gunfire as 'loud crackling noises.'

Another BLOCKHEAD
I heard this and was disgusted and tried to avoid that room that had NBC on. It was appalling considering all we were hearing on Fox.
Not only are they afraid of guns, they are scared to death to describe the sounds guns make.
CNN Fake News reported Trump fell down. They were hoping he was like President Retard and lied
She was just going with the flow. We are starting to hear a disfiguring facial wound as a result of an attempted murder referred to as a “graze” now.
“mostly peaceful assassination attempt”
Good, nail this people, keep up the pressure. From the article:
‘Would anybody out of NBC like to say anything about your faulty reporting?’ Hernandez asks as crew members walk past her.
‘Not at all? Ok.
‘So that’s your mainstream media ladies and gentlemen. And we have CNN here, we have MSNBC, we have NBC. So this week, I’m really going to try to ask all of these media members what their response is to their networks and this faulty reporting,’ she concludes her video.
Kristen, Charlie don’t surf.
Some are saying his ear was “nicked” he lost 25% of his ear, that is not “nicked”. I read he “cowered”, not thrown down to the ground. These POS reporters.
Lets hope she’s able to corral someone from the Commie News Network and their headline that President Trump “fell”
I read “cowered”
Bang Bang, my baby shot me down.
NBC is part of the propaganda arm of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
They follow the orders of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
Order #1 - Always protect the Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
There were popping noises around the motorcade and suddenly Kennedy fell over, spilling his brains on his wife. Police are trying to understand why this happened. More coming up, on News at Eleven.
I remember watching FOX news the morning of 9/11. The first reports were that a small plane had crashed into the WTC. Similar to reports of popping noises, this even after Trump had gotten up with blood on his ear.I understand news agencies not wanting to report something that is unsubstantiated. I was filling my coffee cup and had head turned but when I heard the “pops” I knew it was shots fired, unmistakable to me.
Lol!
While this shouldn’t be surprising, gotcha hallway journalism is lame imho, people are busy and don’t have time to deal with strangers.
Like. the Beaver County Sniper Team
Samantha forgot to get dressed
I can imagine person who has never heard gunshots describe the sound as “pop, pop, pop.” The sound depends upon the caliber, the location of the person, and environment, i.e., indoors, outdoors, surrounded by tall buildings, open fields, mountains, etc.
This really much to do about nothing within the scheme of thing. I am much more concerned about the SS incompetence — assuming it was incompetence.
