NBC is reporting balanced news.

[Baitball Blogger]

After reporting about Trump's claim of DC crime, they provided stats that contradicted him.

They also showed through consumer index prices how everything is much more expensive.

[senseandsensibility]

1. Is the NBC nightly news?

Just curious. I also like their news website. It is much better than cnn.com.

[Baitball Blogger]

3. Yes.

[calimary]

2. I hope they all do.

Keep cutting through the lies and the slanted PR!

[rurallib]

6. I wonder how CBS is doing since they bent the knee and even fired Colbert

they seem to have a stake in making Trump AND all the MAGAts look good.

Edit to add - I haven't watched networks probably since maybe Jimmy Carter was president.

[MLWR]

14. I can only tell you

That Walter Cronkite and Edward R. Murrow are spinning in their respective graves. CBS stays far away from anything that could be interpreted in any way as controversial.

[Baitball Blogger]

22. I wouldn't be able to tell you.

We stopped watching CBS News.

[mdbl]

23. I stopped watching anything Paramount

Including Pluto.

[Katinfl]

4. That's good to know.

Have not watched network news in years because I get it all online. I often wonder what the general public is hearing so this gives me some hope.

[B.See]

5. Small comfort... now that the damage's done.

[ShazzieB]

11. Better than not reporting on it at all.

When the media acts like everything is peachy keen and perfectly normal, it feels like a slap in the face to me, like a great big FU on top of everything we're already going through. At least NBC is pointing out that he's wrong and telling it like it is.

And think of how pissed he'll be. He can't stand to have his lies contradicted , and he's going to HATE this!

[B.See]

12. yeah.. better late than never, I guess.

[LiberalLovinLug]

7. A NEWS CORP IS ACTUALLY REPORTING FACTUAL NEWS?!!!!!!!

Even if disturbs the orange man child? That's just cray cray

[Billsdaughter]

8. My local news

Did the same with graphics and references.

A tiny bit of hope.

[live love laugh]

9. TODAY?! Wowww. Give them some type of award or something

Oh wait … didn’t sister company msNBC also gut Rachel Maddow’s staff and fire Joy Reid?

[Greybnk48]

10. Our local NBC news out of Green Bay just did the same thing.

They first presented why the troops were called out in DC, to combat a big uptick in crime. Then they reported that records show that the crime rate in DC is actually down quite a bit and has been for a while.

I loved it!

[NH Ethylene]

13. ABC News also mentioned the crime rates had gone down

More than once in their segment on the National Guard going to DC.

[TomSlick]

15. A firm grip on the obvious.

It's unfortunate how rare that is these days.

[FakeNoose]

16. I think they are really trying - maybe it's the MSNBC effect

I don't know, maybe some of the smarter people at MSNBC are having an effect on the main network.
They don't have to play footsie with Chump the way CBS did. I'm sure that's part of it.

I try to watch the NBC Nightly News every day, if I can. My cable plays their show on repeats, so I can catch it later.

[Martin68]

19. Or maybe they are beginning to realize that it's what the market wants. There are a lot of people who are wise to the

ways of media that is all out for MAGAts. Not everybody has been corrupted by Dumbo and his clown posse.

[SouthBayDem]

20. MSNBC got spun off

[Martin68]

17. The Washington Post and NYT have been reporting the same.

[Rebl2]

18. They also

showed a clip of him saying he was going to Russia Friday on the Today Show.

[Dem4life1970]

21. Here's the deal for Main Stream Media...

...if you want to survive in the Post-Trump World, which IS coming, probably sooner rather than later, start reporting like the Meidas Touch Network does. If not, you will continue to see your
audience shrink, and demographics will eventually catch up with you.

[uponit7771]

26. RIGHT!! Being neutral with the face eating aliens (DC MAGA) is the wrong thing to do

[PortTack]

24. Where's the coverage of the nation wide "music festivals?"

[uponit7771]

25. That's a bad thing, there's no "balance" reporting with MAGA face eating aliens. They should always report on them ...

... like DC MAGA are the bad guys.

Reporting facts is not balanced it's just their job

27. I wouldn't know about NBC news until 4 PM,

I watch freespeechtv.org for my morning news, Wednesday is Malcolm Nance Day, he was on fire as usual.

Many here on DU would not like everything he and Stephanie said this morning, had to do with fighting fire with fire.

I start watching MSNBC at 4 PM when Nicolle comes on. Many here at DU would not agree with what her guests said yesterday, about how Democratic voters are ahead of Congressional Democrats regarding understanding the dangers our democracy is facing and how to fight back. The panel did say that Congressional Democrats have time to catch up. Marc Elias said that Republicans are going to use AI to draw up voting maps and in those maps Democrats will not be able to win.

I like Symonne at 7, but usually don't watch, I like Rachel one day a week, I like Lawrence but am usually headed for bed.

MSNBC fired my 2 favorite cable news anchors, Dylan Ratigan and Keith Olbermann. Hated it when they fired Mehdi.

Should have given Katie Phang Ari Melber's slot.

With that said, I never watch the other networks, never. Yesterday was the first day in a while that Nicolle did not lead with Epstein.

[calimary]

29. I'm another one who hated seeing Olbermann got the axe.

He was “must see TV” as far as I’m STILL concerned. For me, anyway, other anchors have connected that way since.

[Scubamatt]

28. Be Careful, NBC . . .

You might start doing real journalism before you know it!

[FoxNewsSucks]

30. So it finally happened . . .

[TrollBuster9090]

31. CORRECTION: NBC is reporting FACTS. (Fixed It For Ya.) It's The OTHER Sham Networks That Are Pretending To Be

... 'balanced.'

"Trump says crime is out of control in D.C., while Democrats say it's at a 30 year low." That's the kind of 'fair and balanced' horseshit that I'd expect to hear, oozing out of Jake Tapper's putrid pie hole.

When you report facts, that's not called balanced news. It's just called 'NEWS."
