Boston Bombing Survivor to NBC: “You Disrespected the Survivors of the Bombing.”

NBC really is hitting new lows lately.

A survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing stormed out of a scheduled interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” in tears on Friday.

Adrianne Haslet-Davis, a dancer who lost part of one leg during the attack, said NBC promised not to name alleged bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan Tsarnaev in her presence but did not follow through on the request.

Under the impression that NBC had agreed to both requests, Haslet-Davis said she was shocked when staffers told her just before airtime that there was no guarantee the Chechneyan brothers would not be mentioned by name, and she abruptly left the studio in tears, the Times reported.

“Your decision to back out on the promise that you made and the horrific way you brought that decision to my attention just minutes prior to taping was not only a cowardice move but a dishonorable one as well,” Haslet-Davis wrote on her website.

NBC released a statement Friday saying network officials “regret any distress caused by this miscommunication.”

While NBC did not have to agree to her request, agreeing and then backing out at the last minute on the assumption that she would not leave is a despicable move that television news shows pull all too often on their guests.

    More people should call the activist media on their garbage. When you get hit with a preprepared ambush in contradiction to assurances, get up and walk, whether or not you are a member of the public, like Miss Haslet-Davis, or a public figure.
    The leftard media specializes in ambushes and rudeness and they need to start being called on it by their targets getting up and walking out, either before they start, leaving dead air, or on air and making the reasons clear.

      Better yet have a guest of your own ready via cellphone….let the viewers know you were had (of course you must be live) and then invite the heavy hitter in on your own.

    Let’s face it. America is becoming as fruit tutti as any other Western country. One day the USA will elect a transgendered freak as President. I guarantee it.

    NBC ABC CBS are all controlled by the Pilgrim Society which controls the CFR and every think tank. They all knew that 9/11 was on the way. Especially Diane Sawyer. That morning she was just a bit too calm and composed.

      I think you know all about the secret Martian invasion. I can tell. You’re just too glib.

    Too bad she was too polite to spit at them.
