One of the issues with the Paul Pelosi case is the constantly changing reports that appear in the media. For instance, in one report, the station KTVU stated that the attacker was wearing his underwear. However, they then pulled the report back and didn’t explain why they did it or what the attacker was wearing. The police have not released any footage of the incident. However, they have stated that the Capitol Police video captured what happened at the house. Since Nancy Pelosi was in Washington, D.C. at the time of the incident, no one was monitoring it.
Instead of asking the questions that the media should be asking, the Washington Post claims that the people who are asking for the video are actually trying to create “conspiracy”. This is not the kind of news that the media should be reporting.
Another report from NBC claims that Paul didn’t try to leave the house after opening the door, but instead walked toward the suspect, David DePape. According to the report, Pelosi didn’t “declare an emergency” and didn’t try to leave the house. The report was based on “sources who were familiar with matter”. It wasn’t clear if Pelosi was mentally ill or if he had already been hurt.

After the report about the incident was released, NBC decided to pull the report back and stated ““The piece should not have aired because it did not meet NBC News reporting standards.”

Why did you run the story in the first place? After two reports were pulled back, we have to ask ourselves if this is just bad reporting or if the people are just asking questions because they don’t like what’s being said. The problem is not with the people, but with how the story has been presented.
According to the court documents, which were released by the New York Post, the police were in the foyer when Nancy greeted them. The paper also asked why the police weren’t releasing the body cam and other footage which would not want to “extend the consipiracy theories.”
The preceding is a summary of an article that originally appeared on Red State.
