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:

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.

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?

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