Television networks chose to air footage of police officers beating Tyre Nichols and a hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, but with copious warnings.
Most networks decided to air the Nichols videos shortly after they were released — some before they had reviewed it themselves — and always with copious on-air and verbal warnings for viewers.
“Brace yourself and please just be warned that the video is violent, apparently,” said MSNBC host Joy Reid. “I have not seen it yet, either.” Even Nichols’s mother, RowVaughn Wells, warned the public before the video’s release. “Any of you that have children, please don’t let them see it,” she said during a news briefing.Social media platforms also enforced their own guidelines as users uploaded the video. Viewers trying to watch an NBC News video of the beating on YouTube were told that “the following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences.
The video was so brutal that a Fox News host apologized to viewers for not properly warning them before showing it. “The producers are apologizing to me, but I want to apologize to you,” Harris Faulkner said Friday afternoon. “We had no idea what that was going to look like, and that should have had a graphic warning before we showed it and then on-screen.”When Fox re-aired the footage, Faulkner gave a “little lead-up” to the video this time. “This is graphic, and this is jarring,” she said.
