NBC literally makes up a Trump quote saying Turkey's invasion is "not our problem," runs with it for a few days and issues a retraction on their twitter instead of on-air.

CORRECTION: A previous tweet misquoted President Trump saying Turkey's invasion into northern Syria “is not our problem.”
He said, “They have a problem at a border — it's not our border,” as well as “it’s not between Turkey and the US," according to White House transcript. pic.twitter.com/TH0SXOcj6s

Just like ABC got caught with the fake clip NBC got caught completely making up a quote here. Instead he said something completely different – that it’s ‘not our border.’ Instead of issuing a retraction everywhere they ran it they just did it on their twitter.

Top twitter response shown: “Classic strategy: Post the lies on page 1 and the correction on page 100”
