[See NewsBusters for more.] The journalists at NBC on Tuesday pounced on Donald Trump’s speech to the United Nations, immediately branding it a “19th century,” “wrong in tone” address that caters only to the interests of America. Additionally, six of the ten minutes devoted to the live, post-speech reaction were actually focused on Ukraine and impeachment. As soon as the address was over, Andrea Mitchell attacked: “This was his America first speech, bragging about the military power of the United States, about our economy.... It's understandable in his context. He's running for re-election and running for re-election with a United Nations speech that was completely wrong in tone for this world body.”
