Earlier today Sam spotlighted NBC News' "Meet the Press," which yesterday peddled more "fake news" when host Kristen Welker said that Kamala Harris attended the dignified transfer service for the 13 service members who were killed as a result of Biden/Harris' botched and disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.
It was yet another example of reporting "mistakes" that all just happen to fall in a direction that favors the Democrats. I rarely if ever see a mainstream media "error" that falls in favor of the Republican side, and has anybody ever seen a legacy media "mistake" that helps Trump?
This is what was said:

The legacy media has a default "protect the precious" setting (the "precious" being Democrats and their preferred narrative) and that clearly kicked in when Welker was making the above comments.
After getting called out, what is basically a lie intended to cover for Harris turned into something that was "incorrectly implied":
On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden was in attendance but Harris was not.

I'm guessing there will be NO on-air apology or correction -- at least I'd be surprised if there were.
I couldn't help but laugh at NBC News' "incorrectly implied" claim. Not to mention that, yes, Biden was there but I'm sure Welker didn't remind everybody that according to the families in attendance, Joe checked his watch several times.
No, @kwelkernbc did not "IMPLY" that both Biden and Harris were at the dignified transfer. She said that explicitly. She said "they did meet with them at the dignified transfer." STOP LYING YOU SICK PEOPLE. And stop doing Democrat propaganda.

You lied to cover for Kamala...

Nothing out of the ordinary for you.
How about a very public & heartfelt apology to the families live and on air. That would, however, require a conscience. But screw them, you’re trying to prop up a democrat, amirite?

As usual, the "error" is seen by a lot more people than the half-assed "correction," and these super-serious "journalists" are fine with that.
The media's "all hands on deck" alarm to help carry Harris and Walz across the finish line by any means necessary is sounding loudly and the re-writing of history is just beginning.
