It has been over a month since the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was attacked, spawning establishment media outrage over right-wing rhetoric, yet it still isn’t clear exactly what happened. If anything, establishment media have been making it harder to understand what happened.
According to Fox News media reporter Brian Flood, NBC News correspondent Miguel Almaguer has not appeared on the network since covering the story on Nov. 4. Almaguer reported that Paul Pelosi had opened the door for law enforcement but did not attempt to escape or tell responding police officers that he was in danger. Instead, he walked away from officers and toward the alleged assailant, who then hit Pelosi with a hammer.
Almaguer has since vanished from the network’s airwaves, and he hasn’t tweeted since Nov. 3. NBC erased video of the report from its website and Twitter feed. No explanation was given other than that “the piece should not have aired because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards,” and no explanation has been given for Almaguer’s prolonged absence.
