NBC: Nothing But Criminals

Posted on | December 26, 2012 | 15 Comments

America’s least-trustworthy news organization and its most dishonest “journalist” have gotten themselves caught red-handed:

The Washington Metropolitan Police Department is investigating whether any  city laws were violated when NBC’s David Gregory displayed what appeared to be a  30-round gun magazine on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday . . .
“The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating this matter,” said  police officer and spokesman Araz Alali in an interview Tuesday. . . .
“There are D.C. code violations, D.C. code restrictions on guns, ammunition. We are investigating this matter. Beyond the scope of that, I can’t comment any further,” he said.
On Sunday, in an interview with the National Rifle Association’s head, Wayne LaPierre, Gregory displayed what appeared to be a 30-bullet gun magazine. He pushed LaPierre on the question of whether fewer children would have died during the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre this month had the gunman had access to fewer bullets.

 NBC is stonewalling Professor William Jacobson:

My multiple attempts last Sunday to obtain a response from NBC News as to whether the magazine was real were met with stone cold silence.  None of the three senior communications executives with responsibility for Meet the Press responded.

Video of the Meet the Press segment in which David Gregory says “here is a magazine for ammunition that carries 30 bullets”:

Meet the Press is recorded in D.C., where possession of a 30-round magazine is a crime. If David Gregory was telling the truth — if that was indeed an actual high-capacity magazine — then he and NBC News broke the law. Alternatively, if Gregory was lying and the “magazine” was just a phony prop, then NBC News deliberately deceived viewers.

Clearly, David Gregory must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, and NBC should be declared a terrorist organization by the Department of Homeland Security, so that everyone associated with the network is subjected to hands-on searches by TSA agents at airports.

OK, maybe that’s going a little overboard. But clearly NBC News as an organization is hostile to Americans’ constitutional rights.
