A Friday morning NBC News segment on the attack of Paul Pelosi from reporter Miguel Almaguer was taken down and an editor’s note apologizing for the story not meeting “NBC News reporting standards” was added to the online article.
“This piece has been removed from publication because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards,” the note reads on the article about Pelosi’s release from the hospital on Thursday night.
A person with knowledge of the situation told TheWrap, “The decision was made to remove the segment after it was determined, shortly after it aired, that the main source for the information was unreliable regarding the question of the circumstances that the police encountered when they arrived at the house, specifically what the police saw and how far the attacker was from the door.”
