A day after falsely reporting that one of the suspects in the Paris attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo had been killed and two others arrested, NBC News tonight finally addressed its dramatic error on-air – though once again the network didn’t take responsibility itself. “Starting overnight and into today, we’ve been correcting something we first reported here,” said anchor Brian Williams near the beginning of the East Coast broadcast of the NBC Nightly News. “We were told by not just one but two senior U.S. intelligence officials that this manhunt had ended last night with all three suspects either dead or captured. And while these sources have been reliable in our previous reporting, the intel they passed along to us last night turned out not to be correct.”
