look carefully at what NBC is saying:
“We have launched an internal investigation into the editorial process surrounding this particular story.”
...investigating the editorial process that underlies all our reporting, including this particular story???
...investigating the editorial process that permeates our way of doing business, but got away from us this time???
...investigating the editorial process that resulted in a story that drastically miss-represented the real facts???
no
we're gunna self investigate this one story and get back to you
translation = we're gunna spend some inhouse time figuring out how we DIDN'T slip this one by you...fix that so we won't be so blatant in the future...and concoct a story that let's this blatant attempt to manipulate the narrative slip by too...it's what we do
I am retired and hold two earned degrees in Journalism. Back when I was in college in the 1965-1969 time frame the focus on news reporting was very intense on reporting only the facts and to leave your opinion on the editorial page. We have fallen a great way from those days.
