NBC NEWS? DARE NOT CALL IT JOURNALISM ANYMORE!

"— jennifer bendery (@jbendery) December 4, 2012
So... in the last hour, I watched Rachel Maddow, Al Sharpton and Lawrence O'Donnell all walk into the West Wing. MSNBC love fest?"

It is truly amazing how the suits at Comcast can allow the NBC NEWS brand to be further degraded and used by the Obama Administration as their blatant propaganda arm. Meanwhile NBC News President Steve Capus seems only to willing to put another nail into the coffin of what use to be known as journalism at NBC.  Today several of the NBC News division's on air talent had another private meeting with President Obama.  But, this is not the first time these lapdogs from NBC News have been been guests at the White House. In fact Rachel Maddow has been a "guest" there over a half dozen times. How many times have average middle class Americans been invited to the White House for a little one on one chat with Obama. I don't know about you but, I'm still waiting for my invitation.

NBC News after fatally shooting IMUS, gives Hui another shot.

Less than a week after NBC News executives like Steve Capus folded like a cheap suit and bowed to the pressure of a racial/political mob that included Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Al Roker, Keith Obermann and shot Don Imus in the head, The news organization is once again in the media spotlight for airing the diatribe and video of Cho Seung Hui the Virginia Tech shooter.

"The unexpected package from Cho Seung Hui that arrived at NBC News yesterday morning contained both a worldwide scoop and a journalistic dilemma."Howard Kurtz, Washington Post

Delemia indeed. After letting Hillary Clinton's political hitmen (Sharpton & Jackson) knock a Clinton critic IMUS off the air. I wonder why Cho Seung Hui would chose to send to NBC News his tapes, photos and writings? Was it because he thought so highly of NBC News or was because NBC was in the news the week before because of the disgraceful handling of the IMUS firing. There are some unanswered questions about this:

Of course, no one forced NBC to broadcast those words and pictures. Capus said network journalists debated for hours what they should make public. "There are some things we haven't shown and words we haven't released that are more appropriate to hold back," he said

Like maybe why Hui choose NBC over other the other mainstream media outlets to deliver his finally shot. Until the public gets to see the entire video and all the documents. NBC will be under a cloud of suspicion over what they released and showed on their network and MSNBC. It could be like the Imus firing NBC is not telling us the whole story.
