NBC - AIM AIMS AT NBC SUBS

The conservative watchdog Accuracy in Media has demanded that NBC News apologize for airing misleading images of a Russian mini-sub, which it said had planted the Russian flag on the seabed under the North Pole. In fact, it has been revealed, the network's Nightly News program and other news programs aired footage of a sub taken during the search for the Titanic in the North Atlantic that it had received from the Reuter News Agency. "It is inexcusable that a reputable news organization like NBC would stonewall our request for a correction of the record," said AIM editor Cliff Kincaid. "Reuters corrected its error in this case, and it is high time for NBC to do the same." AIM has repeatedly accused NBC News of displaying anti-American bias in its coverage.
