NBC PULLED THEIR PELOSI ATTACKER STORY
THEN SUDDENLY GOES SILENT

A report that aired on 'Today' was pulled after it went viral on Twitter

Video of the retracted story available in the link.

The story tells that Paul Pelosi came to the door to greet the police who came, and then proceeded to walk away and back to his attacker, only to then be assaulted.  It wasn't declared an emergency, and it appeared he knew his assailant.  So why was this story retracted?

Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the 'high priority call,' they were seemingly unaware they've been called to the home of the Speaker of the House. After a 'knock and announce,' the front door was opened by Mr. Pelosi. The 82-year-old did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home but instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police. It's unclear if the 82-year-old was already injured or what his mental state was, say sources.

It was immediately removed, with NBC News issuing an editor's note claiming the publication did not meet NBC News's reporting standards.  However, this brings up the question as to what is their standards?
