Peter Alexander and Lester Holt are both known Trump supporters/hacks

So, of course, they would be rushing to defend their Hero, Trump. Also, those 2 are destroying the legacy that icons like Katie Couric and Tom Brokaw tried to leave for NBC News.

Anyway, here's the proof:

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/09/20/494791154/oops-trump-calls-nbc-news-anchor-and-fellow-gop-er-lester-holt-a-democrat

REGISTERED REPUBLICAN SINCE 2003!

Also, I recorded NBC's primetime coverage of the 1st Trump hearing. It was clear then without even needing to see the NPR article for proof that Lester Holter is a Trump hack.

Also, remember LH fawning over Trump in that first interview after the firing of James Comey?

I suggest boycotting NBC News in the future, which is separate from MSNBC, it should be noted. MSNBC, of course, is totally different.

Which of course doesn't make him a dump hack, or even prove that he is a repub today.

2018: Changed registeration from R to Independent.
2019: Walter Cronkite Award for Excellence in Journalism.

What exactly makes you think Holt is a "Trump hack"?
What did Holt say to make you think he fawned over trump in the post-Comey interview?

I rarely see NBC, do you have proof that Peter Alexander is a trump support/hack?

My 91 year old mother in law used to watch NBC news and stopped and switched to ABC with David Muir. She also noticed the rightward switch and Lester doing Fox talking points.

Lester is no impartial tv anchor he has a right wing agenda.
