"... Did NBC News make a deal with
Trump’s campaign to make sure that didn’t happen – to NOT materially
fact-check him on-the-air during the disastrous Kristen Welker
interview? Is NBC News conducting internal investigations, or does it
plan to? I do not know for certain the answers to these questions
today. I
do know they are among many questions being asked inside NBC today, in
part because of ONE tweet, and in part because of the awful realization
that some sort of illicit pre-arrangement is an almost
better explanation than that Welker, and Meet The Press, and NBC News,
abrogated virtually every one of its journalistic responsibilities in a
Chris Licht-level dumpster fire that has left the long time viability of
Welker, and her Executive Producer, and the nearly 76 year old program
itself, up in the air..." (our emphasis) -- Keith Olbermann, questioning whether NBC News rules were violated in Kristen Welker's getting her inaugural "Meet the Press" "Press the Meat" interview with the pathological liar Malignant Loser. That program has been damaged goods since the days of Timmeh Russert, so expectations were exceedingly low to begin with; Welker managed to take them to new depths.
