Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., appeared on NBC’s "Meet the Press" Sunday. He was speaking with NBC reporter Kristen Welker and pointed out that neither Biden nor Harris had met with the families of the fallen involved in the Arlington controversy. He said that Harris was in her mansion a mere ten minute drive away from the cemetery but chose not to attend as Trump had done.
Ever vigilant to support the liberal democrat ticket, Welker said this. "They did meet them during the dignified transfer. They were with them at the dignified transfer." That was a lie plain and simple, so even NBC was forced to have some consideration for the truth. Later in the day they put out this on X. "On our broadcast this morning, we incorrectly implied that both President Biden and Vice President Harris attended the dignified transfer of 13 American service members killed during the Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden was in attendance but Harris was not."
Now that is wrong on two levels. First, false reporting should be corrected on air and not by trying to slip a message in on X. Secondly, it was not "implied" that Harris was there; it was flatly stated. But you have to give NBC credit. They are clever in their manipulation of the American voter.
