NBC News has been embroiled in controversy over recent stories involving Paul Pelosi, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman and WNBA star Brittney Griner.
NBC's Miguel Almaguer returned to the air on Monday after more than five weeks away, with no explanation from the network.
A month earlier, NBC News retracted a story that suggested Paul Pelosi may not have been in imminent danger when he was attacked at his home in San Francisco. The report was pulled after it began to go viral, particularly with regard to its claim that Pelosi answered the door for police and didn't immediately seek protection outside the home, despite the intruder still being inside.
Miguel Almaguer quietly returned to air on Monday after a mysterious multi-week absence following his explosive Paul Pelosi report being retracted without explanation. "We had a monitor set up so he could read my questions because he still has lingering auditory processing issues as a result of the stroke, which means he has a hard time understanding what he’s hearing." Burns said following their conversation.
Others defended Fetterman, such as Burns’ own NBC News colleague Stephanie Ruhle. At one point, Fetterman’s own wife called for a network apology and"consequences" for the NBC correspondent. and told Fox News Digital that some within NBC had been"pathetic" with their criticisms of Burns—clearly showing their bias toward Fetterman. A former NBC News producer added that they believed the criticism directed at Burns highlights hypocrisy at the network.
