if you call yourself a professional with integrity.

If you're just a mediocre hack trying to brown nose your way up the ladder, then yeah, I guess this is de riguer.

There is no excuse to alter anything with in the bite except for recording equipment malfunction that would change the context of what is being said. There was none of that. Editing what was said did exactly that--he was changing the context of what was being said, and THAT is why the producer was rightfully fired. What he/she did was lie to the viewer by making that change.

too many other outlets had the full recording in its unedited entirety and it would be a matter of time before NBC got called on the carpet for altering the contents. Fux noose does it all the time and no one with a scintilla of good sense believes that they report the truth.
