NBC Apologizes for Omitting ‘Under God’ From Pledge During U.S. Open Broadcast
FOX News
NBC issued an on-air apology Sunday for omitting the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance during its coverage of golf’s U.S. Open.
The words were edited out of a clip of children reciting the oath — a move immediately noted by viewers, who took to Twitter and various blogs to voice their anger, the Huffington Post reported.

In a statement during the broadcast, NBC commentator Dan Hicks said, “We began our coverage of this final round just about three hours ago and when we did it was our intent to begin the coverage of this U.S. Open Championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being held in our nation’s capital for the third time.

NBC commentator Dan Hicks said, “[snip] Regrettably, a portion of the Pledge of Allegiance that was in that feature was edited out. It was not done to upset anyone and we’d like to apologize to those of you who were offended by it.”

Fox News picks up the story of NBC omitting ‘under God’ during yesterday’s broadcast. MRC Vice President Dan Gainor says “what we’ve got is proof that we’re not dealing with liberal media, we’re dealing with godless liberal media.” He calls NBC’s apology ‘entirely bogus’

Wild Thing’s comment……..
Notice they didn’t say “accidently”. They said “regrettably”. And they only regret it because they didn’t expect folks to go ballistic on them.
They couldn’t even say “Under God” in their apology. It was just “a portion”.
It was not “omitted,” as in, “forgetting to include”. . .it was intentionally edited out. Someone decided it was unacceptable.
