Miguel Almaguer suspended by NBC over "inaccurate" report about Paul Pelosi hammer attack

He got the hammer from talking about the hammer!

Gay men are always sacrificed and thrown under the bus

He was wrong, next time he should focus on facts, instead of OMG I WANT TO BE THE FIRST.

THE TRUTH

The NY Post reader comments are a hilarious troll cesspool

why don't you permit the cops to finalize the investigation before you run your fucking mouth

He needed some kind of punishment. MSM has massive power. With that comes great responsibilities. They are only supposed to tell the truth. Nothing new to add? Then add nothing. Don't take a day trip to the Tabloidville for more to talk about. If he does it again, he must be fired. He should be at FOX. They have a station in Tabloidville.

Amazing how the official story was so artificial at first, and now it's the only thing available online. Everything mainstream has been deleted and only right wing fringes have the original reports intact.

So this is the new Hunter Biden's laptop?

R9 much creepier in my opinion. They covered this up while we were all watching and paying attention and nobody said anything or tried to stop it. Now reporters are being punished for giving honest reports, like this is China. Fucking wild.

Muriel banned a guy who was all over the original threads on this claiming that Paul Pelosi is well known in the Castro for picking up men and bring them home, and that he's well liked and no one has a problem with him.

Oh, r10.

The problem with the government interfering and trying to protect politicians and their relatives is now any actions like this are suspect.

Was NBC visited or pressured to suspend him? Nancy is bragging her husband's attack saved democracy.

R13 Democracy definitely did not get saved, and the general public paid little attention to this story.

Muriel!!! Trash Trolls are over here. It's time for you to take them out!!!

Thank you.

R15 Muriel should ban you, just for the peace and quiet it would bring.

Go on, Mur...

R13 [Quote]Was NBC visited or pressured to suspend him?

It could not be more obvious.

The US is becoming a communist and totalitarian state. The freest country in the world is not free anymore.

What do you care, r18. You're not American.

Might affect foreign relations a little.

That is what I thought. STFU and mind your own shithole country.

So making up outrageous stories for general titilation supports democracy?

Fuck Rupert Murdoch's NYPost!

What do you care about American democracy? Mind your own shithole.

R22 Exactly zero people were titillated by the Berkeley gigolo underpants assassin.

Miguel is going to be like DL fave Matt Gutman and get suspended all the time.

Looks like the same MAGA fuck who just posted a thread that incorrectly said the Democrats failed in California is going to pollute DL with their psychotic shit today.

Miguel should sashay over to Fixxed News. In between dropping innuendo and gossip, he can listen to his colleagues call him an illegal who needs to be deported.

R28 He doesn't need to since you just did.

I just did what?

Miguel Almaguer has been in the business for 25 years. He's been with NBC since 2009. He's won awards for journalism. I just highly doubt he was suddenly irresponsible here.

Why SUSPEND a seasoned journalist with an impeccable record if there were supposedly problems with the story? Correct them and move on.

Why such a harsh punishment?

Interesting that he's been off social media since then. Total silence from him.

This whole story is fishy.

It amazes me how some of you just knee-jerk accept the "official" word on things.

He passed off a QAnon conspiracy theory as news. Any reporter would be punished in the same way.

Of course, Q loons think that the "harsh punishment" means that there's a conspiracy to keep the truth from being revealed.

Here is what happened. An assassination was attempted on our Speaker. Weird chatter as Paul tried to get help and get out of the situation.

Immediately, you fucking ***losers*** bumped this into Hunter’s laptop, and I’m talking within the first twelve hours, you just KNEW what happened, and before 24 hours were up, you decided it was a cover-up. You are sooooooo goddamn stupid that it leaves one breathless.

This reporter tried to ride your fucking stupid Paul conspiracy. THEN, once the Pelosi family recovered from the shock, her team spread the word to NOT fuck with Nancy by spreading lies over her wounded spouse. Nancy promises to have your balls bronzed if you do. The media gradually (or quickly?) got in line with not spreading the story. That’s it! The end!

Here is why you are so fucking annoying. None of us give a fucking fuck if Paul sucks cock. How does that affect my fucking life?!?!???? How would Paul be affecting my taxes or my security, hmmmmmm?????

You dumb-ass cunts. You can ONLY think in terms of a conspiracy, which means you are PROGRAMMED, fucking hello?!???? You also out yourselves as stupid because no OG DLers believe this shite! So glad this *asshole shitty journalist* was fired, fuck ALL media for profiting off of OUR PAIN!!!! We will no longer tolerate it and are going to fight back.

I encourage the rest of you to block this thread, just to be cunts to the clowns who choose to come to a GAY FORUM but are Nazis. Only in America.

All hail Queen Nancy!!!!!! She is our GODDESS!

Yeah, r27, OP is a Trump fan, DeSantis fan, anti-trans troll, Q loon, one of those choads who kept saying the "don't say gay" bill had nothing to do with gays, the whole nine yards.

You haven't said anything with that screed. Also, you need your medication adjusted.

I have stopped watching news programs because the programs are hot air and gossip.

I can read ridiculous gossip on this website and be entertained more rather than watch "the news" spread lies.

So, let's review.

After decades of Republicans painting Nancy Pelosi as the reincarnation of Satan, after the Jan 6th rioters rampaged through the Capitol screaming "where's Nancy?", after online Q loons accused her of drinking dead baby blood, some nut actually tried to kill her using the same language.

Naturally, it's a DNC set up.

R35? Go throw yourself off a bridge so the adults can chat. Scram!

If your advice is that valuable,use it on yourself r38.

You. Go. First.

This is appalling.

He made a bad report and didn’t vet it. This is a huge no-no.

He did vet it, and his report was identical to all of the initial reports prior to the SFPD shutting down communication with journalists and altering their story.

R41 Maybe Miguel Almaguer, a consummate professional, did vet it but reporting it was the big "no-no".

His silence on the topic is indeed weird. Incorrect news are not a probkem in the day and age of Twitter - you correct them. There are many many examples. He pretty much stuck to what was known and suspected at the tune. You have to fill airtime and you also do this by speculation. A TV journalist's job is more than just read Reuters to the audience, and even they can be mistaken. And before you can say it doesn't happen... I know it does. I was acquainted with someone who worked for Reuters who got fired over skipping parts of a press conference and relying on the handout that the press crews were given instead. The problem: The politician did a flip in the last minute on the topic - which also happens a lot, especially when you cover talks about workers unions and matters where the outcome isn't set in stone in general - and our haughty colleague who alsways was the first at the buffet got the sack.

I am surprised by this and hope he is able to return. He seems like a decent guy and reporter - no flash or over-the-top reporting witnessed here.

Did he mention the cameras used to monitor the Pelosi home were not being monitored by capitol police. .

If ya gonna flap ya big mouth, don't leave out any details.
