On Thursday, May 3, the
Peacuck Network (NBC) made a colossal error in its reporting.
Tom Winter, whose bio
on Twitter states he is an NBC “investigations reporter” focusing on police,
courts, corruption, cyber security and counterterrorism, reported
at 12:59 PM the wiretapping of President Trump’s longtime personal attorney
Michael Cohen.
The supposed “bombshell”
sent the cockroaches at other cable news networks into overdrive repeating the
same lie.
NBC attributed its
original story to two anonymous sources with knowledge of the legal proceedings
against Cohen. Winter said the sources have a track record of providing
reliable information.
When three unidentified
senior US officials disputed the story, saying the phones were monitored by a
pen register which keeps a log of phone numbers on both ends of the
conversation but does not hear the audio, NBC scurried to issue a correction online
at 5:27 PM followed by an on-air correction with “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd on
MSNBC’s “Meet the Press Daily”.
It was smart not to let
disgraced liar, Brian Williams, anywhere near the “correction” given his propensity
for adroit
lies such as being shot down by RPG fire in Iraq, meeting Pope John Paul,
being embedded with Navy Seal Team 6, being in Berlin on the day the wall came
down and his encounters of suicide, floating bodies, armed gangs and dysentery during
Hurricane Katrina.
