NBC Releases Guidelines Allegedly Prohibiting Reporters From Using The Term ‘Riot’ In Coverage Of Minnesota Riots

In a tweet regarding coverage of the riots, Craig Melvin, an MSNBC and Today Show anchor, claimed that the situation is fluid, so NBC will be referring to it as a protest, not a riot.

Because, you know, burning cities to the ground is not rioting if it helps their narrative.

According to the Daily Caller:

“NBC is prohibiting reporters from using the word ‘riot’ in its coverage of violent outbursts in Minnesota that have occurred in response to the killing of George Floyd.”
