More Proof of Media Bias: NBC Reporter Accuses Sessions Instead of Lynch, Deletes Tweet Instead of Correcting It

It is “Comey Day” and the mainstream media can’t get enough of it.

And oh, how their bias is showing.

Exhibit 1:

That is a BIG OOPS. What Bill Neely meant to say was “Ex FBI Chief Comey says former US Attorney Gen. LORETTA LYNCH instructed him to call CLINTON EMAIL INVESTIGATION a “matter”, not an investigation.”

Instead of correcting the Tweet, Neely deleted it. No explanation. No correction. No retraction.

People on Twitter noticed Neely’s original Tweet and that he deleted it, and called him out:

@BillNeelyNBC #FakeNews tweeted out his sincerest desires that is be Sessions not Lynch but he sobered up deleted & tweeted the #Truth pic.twitter.com/N07dBX6Hi5

@BillNeelyNBC Why have you not reported on any of the questions about Clinton? You omitted half the hearing. makes you a yellow journalist

"Ace" NBC correspondent, Bill Neely, confuses Sessions & Lynch in tweet. Is he stupid, biased or both?

— hugh coffman (@humickey) June 8, 2017

So @BillNeelyNBC deleted tweet. But thought it was important only if it was damaging to Sessions. So no new tweet re it was Lynch.

@BillNeelyNBC is clearly a hack. You haven't said a thing about Lynch

@BillNeelyNBC Where is the tweet about Loretta Lynch telling COmey not to call HRC investigation an investigation?

Jonathan Weisman did Tweet about Lynch after deleting his Tweet about Sessions – but did not mention his “error”..

James Comey on Obama Atty. Gen. Lynch telling him email probe was to be called a matter, not an investigation: pic.twitter.com/l7fsfbipLs

— Jonathan Weisman (@jonathanweisman) June 8, 2017

That's not a correction – he deleted the original tweet and never acknowledged his initial comment was false. @HeyTammyBruce

Then this happened…

Why not reprint it with the correct edit, bruh?

These “errors” *cough* demonstrate the importance of fact-checking and getting things right the first time, but…some Twitter users pointed out that the damage is already done…

Perfect example of pushing lies and hope it sticks as truth to the uninformed. Some reporters can be good magicians and can do tricks

— Patador (@mansanasdev) June 8, 2017

it's their MO nowadays. Put something false up…get a huge reaction to it, THEN put up actual truth.

— Peggy Combe (@PeggyCombe) June 8, 2017

you know why it isn't a mistake? of course almost identical tweets and they didn't just say Sessions, they used Russia

— JadedByPolitics (@JadedByPolitics) June 8, 2017

The reporters know you cannot unring a bell! True or not once it's said the useful idiots repeat it until it's believed.

— Jonnee Appleseed (@appleseedhere) June 8, 2017

It's not a mistake, it's MSM flash mob mentality. Post lies and then poof!, they're gone. But only AFTER the damage is done.

NewsBusters caught it and took the screenshot above, and pointed out that another NBC reporter  – Andrea Mitchell – DID Tweet about what Comey actually said regarding Lynch:

#Comey says at one point former AG Lynch asked him not to call Clinton email probe "investigation" but "a matter" partly why he went public

— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) June 8, 2017

Here is what Comey actually said:
