In their report on the officer-involved shooting in Columbus, Ohio, NBC Nightly News deceptively edited the 911 call to leave out the part where the caller says a girl was "trying to stab us." They also don& #39;t show viewers the knife in the attacker& #39;s hand just before the shots.

In stark contrast, CBS Evening News showed the important part of the 911 call. "These grown girls over here trying to fight us, trying to stab us," the caller says.
They also slow down the video and zoom in on the knife in the attacker& #39;s hand.

For World News Tonight& #39;s part, ABC also shared the important part of the 911 call where the attempted stabbing was mentioned. They also stopped the video and highlighted the knife.

While ABC and CBS highlighted the knife in the attacker& #39;s hand, this is how NBC highlighted it. On the ground.

Based on my reporting from last night, @FoxNews& #39;s The @FaulknerFocus highlights the deceptive editing and dubious editorial choices of @NBCNightlyNews when reporting on the Columbus police shooting. NBC edited the 911 audio and didn& #39;t show the knife in the attacker& #39;s hand.
