NBC News caused a firestorm on social media after it retracted its explosive reporting on last week's attack of Paul Pelosi.

On Friday's installment of "Today," NBC News national correspondent Miguel Almaguer went viral for stunning revelations of what apparently transpired when police arrived to Pelosi's San Francisco home.

"Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the 'high priority call,' they were seemingly unaware they've been called to the home of the Speaker of the House," Almaguer told viewers. "After a 'knock and announce,' the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. The 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police. It's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was, say sources."

"According to court documents, when the officer asked what was going on, defendant smiled and said 'everything's good' but instantaneously a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David DePape strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. After tackling the suspect, officers rushed to Mr. Pelosi who was lying in a pool of blood," Almaguer continued.

Almaguer concluded his report by telling "Today" co-host Craig Melvin "we still don't know exactly what unfolded between Mr. Pelosi and the suspect for the 30 minutes they were alone inside that house before police arrive. Officials who are investigating this matter would not go into further details about these new details."


If there was something incorrect in the story, why not have Almaguer explain what and retract the mistaken parts? Why dissappear Almaguer instead, knowing that is raising more questions than a simple retraction?

The SFPD were there. They have been there for decades keeping the pelosi closet door shut.

Paul was lying in a pool of blood, and then briefly woke up, told cops dePape said "where's nancy?" And then went back unconscious in the ambulance to surgery. That is the source of "where's nancy?" Nevermind what paul's toxicology report said... Coke and alcohol.
 
NBC News has silenced its reporter who raised some questions regarding the Paul Pelosi incident. NBC News is only responding that the story “does not meet standards”. What standards and what are the criteria?

The standards - backing up wray and garland's deliberately false charge of kidnapping


That was reporting truth, and truth never meets NBC "standards"
 
Perhaps coyote can tell us what really happened before she censors this thread and all others

Our govt & MSM have their story designed to gaslight the public on 1 side, with the truth on the other side.

Those 2 sides are strangers, they haven't met in years.

Operation Mockingbird never ended, it went dark.

I rather liked Casey. When he was a patient in the hospital where I worked, he gave all shifts HUGE boxes of Dilettante chocolates! Night shift is better with expensive chocolate.

[ Facts never necessary. And so few like to do research to find out the why someone was suspended. Bad mouth Democrats is the first instinct ]

  • Miguel Almaguer, 45, a correspondent with NBC's Today show has been suspended after he reported inaccurate information on Paul Pelosi's attack
  • Almaguer compiled a report suggesting Nancy Pelosi's husband was not in any danger when police arrived at the couple's San Francisco home
  • He also went on to state how Pelosi walked back towards his attacker
  • The report, which aired November 4, was later found to be inaccurate as it contradicted claims made by both prosecutors and police

Everything today appears to be about the hurt over Kari's loss.

What are the verified facts surrounding an incident that is still being uncovered? More concerning, who determined and verified Aguilar’s content to be inaccurate? Worse, when was the last time a reporter was suspended or punished for inaccuracy? If that is the case, most of the journalism pool would be suspended.

All you did was parrot NBC’s response with authoritative bullet points that do nothing but open up more questions; particularly of NBC.

What’s next for Aguilar; re-education camp? Incentive for himself and family to tow the company line?
