“Lester Holt needs to go on the air tonight, John, and apologize on behalf of NBC News, on the NBC Nightly News – because tensions are far too high in this country right now, the stakes are far too high.
Craig Bannister "NBC’s Lester Holt needs to go on the air immediately and apologize for the way he reported on Ohio Police Officer Nicholas Reardon’s deadly shooting of a knife-wielding Black 16 year-old, Ma’khia Bryant, Media and Political Columnist Joe Concha says.
"As NewsBusters reports, NBC News edited out a crucial part of the 911 call Officer Reardon was responding to and characterized Bryant’s possession of a knife, visible in body camera footage, as merely a contention by police.
"In an appearance on Fox News on Thursday, Concha told Host John Roberts that Holt must publicly apologize for the omission - and for conflating Bryant’s death with that of Black Minnesotan George Floyd. In light of the racial tensions already aflame in the country, lives and businesses could be lost, if Holt doesn’t immediately go on the air and set the record straight, Concha said." . . .
