BUSTED! NBC News accused of protecting alleged pedophile ring

• https://thehornnews.com

NBC News aired a "Dateline" special Sunday night detailing the USA Gymnastics pedophilia scandal involving team doctor Larry Nassar, who has been sentenced to 40-175 years in prison.

Former Olympic gymnast Aly Raisman was interviewed for the special, "Silent No More" — but after the episode aired she was not happy. Raisman took to Twitter to slam NBC for omitting a key component to her interview, claiming she'd be silenced to protect one of the accused.

In her "Dateline" interview, Raisman claimed that USA Gymnastics and Steve Penny, chief executive of sports federation, had no interest in addressing the allegations raised against Nassar. Raisman suggested there was more to the story… but NBC edited out her full comments. Critics speculated the network's move was intended to protect their expensive Olympic coverage rights.

 

"Hour prime time for investigative piece, no interview/scrutiny of current/recent execs of USAG, the org responsible for the sport & much of this mess! Why? I named someone currently in power at USAG that I reported Nassar to, it was omitted. Why? Still many unanswered questions," she tweeted.

It is still unclear which executives Raisman was referring to in her tweet.

Many Twitter users replied to Raisman's tweet with outrage of NBC News' inaccurate reporting. Some users even speculated if they did not air the full interview out of their own personal interests —
