Bob Menendez’s daughter says MSNBC colleagues will cover story “aggressively” | The Guardian

Alicia Menendez hosts a weekend show on the liberal-leaning network. Speaking to the camera on Saturday night, she said: "I’m Alicia Menendez. Welcome to American Voices. We have a lot to get to tonight but I want to begin on a personal note.

“Last week a grand jury indicted US Senator Bob Menendez. This past week, dozens of members of his own party have demanded his resignation. I have been watching along with all of you as a citizen, and also as his daughter. I will not be reporting on the legal case. That said, my colleagues across MSNBC and NBC News have aggressively covered this story and will continue to do so, as they should.”

    I’m extremely proud of the quality, balanced journalism that [proper news brand name of local station] produces. But I’m concerned about the troubling trend of irresponsible, one sided news stories plaguing our country.
    The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. More alarming, national media outlets are publishing these same fake stories without checking facts first.
    Unfortunately, some members of the national media are using their platforms to push their own personal bias and agenda to control ‘exactly what people think’.

    This is extremely dangerous to our democracy… We understand Truth is neither politically ‘left or right.’ Our commitment to factual reporting is the foundation of our credibility, now more than ever.
