NBC News’ coverage of President Trump’s first State of the Union address got off to a rocky start when Savannah Guthrie and Tom Brokaw seemed to disrespect the president by spewing comments about the Russian probe as Trump was at the podium preparing to speak. “That is an extraordinary important part of what is going on in Washington, D.C.,” Brokaw said as Trump was starting to address the nation. Good grief.”Lester Holt anchored the network’s coverage that also featured Megyn Kelly, Chuck Todd, Andrea Mitchell, along with Guthrie and Brokaw. There was absolutely no reason to bring up the Mueller probe as Trump prepared to make, arguably, the most important speech of his presidency to this point. The State of the Union is historically supposed to unify the nation — but someone apparently forgot to tell NBC News that it claims to be a non-partisan news organization.
