NBC News admits that it selectively edited a clip of Attorney General William Barr in a recent 'Meet the Press' episode.
President Trump also responded to Todd's distortion of what Attorney General Barr said, tweeting:"Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd should be FIRED by 'Comcast' for this fraud. He knew exactly what he was doing. Public Airwaves=Fake News!"
Todd also apologized on air Tuesday, claiming he didn't edit the recording. It's nice that the show admitted fault—but this wasn't a simple error. Todd saw an opportunity to smear the attorney general, and he eagerly did so—without exercising the most basic journalistic practice of reading the full transcript.
Russert had also previously worked in politics, but he made a real effort to leave his past work behind him and take seriously fairness, objectivity and the truth. Todd has an opportunity next Sunday to apologize to the American people for lying to them—and to apologize to Attorney General Barr for defaming him.
