Miguel Almaguer learned the hard way that when you do actual journalism and tell the truth about the Paul Pelosi attack, you pay the price. NBC actually suspended Almaguer about a month after he reported what really happened with Paul Pelosi, the SFPD and David Depape. First NBC deleted the story claiming the story didn’t meet their “journalistic standards.” Since when did NBC ever have any standards, other than double standards?
NBC still hasn’t revealed what exactly about this story was wrong or inaccurate, but they decided to suspend Miguel Almaguer for it.
An NBC “Today” show correspondent has been suspended as the network conducts an investigation into his now-retracted story about the attack on Paul Pelosi.
Journalist Miguel Almaguer has reported that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband didn’t let on that he was in danger when cops showed up at his San Francisco home right before he was assaulted with a hammer.
The correspondent has been suspended for the erroneous story, the Daily Beast’s Confider newsletter reported.
The now-deleted clip said Paul Pelosi, 82, answered the door for cops who responded to a 911 call, but that they were “seemingly unaware they had been called to the home of the speaker of the House.”
Pelosi didn’t “declare an emergency” or try to leave, but instead walked several feet back into the foyer toward David DePape, who had broken into the home and was carrying a hammer, sources told NBC.
