A tough week for NBC!
Silvio Canto, Jr.It was a bad week for NBC
So let's recall NBC's very bad week.
First, Lawrence O'Donnell got ahead of his source and presented a lie to a national audience. He said his source had told him that a Russian bigwig had cosigned a Trump loan at a German bank. Within 24 hours, that story and that source were out running for their lives. Why? The source had not seen any of the documents. It was your classic "we want Trump to fail" so we will just repeat whatever anyone tells us as long it makes the president look bad.
Second, the media ran with another one about President Trump denying citizenship to children of U.S. military personnel. It was huge, and several Spanish-speaking news services called me for an opinion. I told them to research the story further, because it did not make any sense.
Not much later, someone at NBC had to do another correction:
Correction: Experts who have looked at new USCIS policy say it applies if a service member adopts a child overseas, but children born to service members on deployment would still automatically get citizenship.....
