Listen to the pledge of allegiance that runs alongside the patriotic images, and later to the one that overlays video of previous U.S. Open winners:
……
Later in the telecast, host Dan Hicks read the following statement during coverage: “It was our intent to begin our coverage of this U.S. Open championship with a feature that captured the patriotism of our national championship being here in our nation’s capital for the third time. 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.” >>>
NBC’s non-apology apology is not good enough. I want to know what their reasoning was behind their ill formed choice. That the US Open is being hosted at the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, in the shadow of our nations capital, makes their selective editing all the more egregious.
Jay Busbee (whom I link to above) links from Free Republic…thanks!
Definitely not an error of omission … had to be an error of commission, requiring further explanation. Which NBC exec knew what, and when did they know it?

“Because the Only Good Progressive is a Failed Progressive”
This non-apology won’t wash. How silly of you to have presented such a blatantly edited reading of the Pledge of Allegiance.
Sorry, NBC, but you have offended me yet again.
Perhaps they would have allowed “one caliphate under Allah”. Or is that promised for next year ?
I haven’t had a working TV for five years (by choice), so I missed this and don’t watch most sports programs in any case, but viewers by the millions should protest to NBC and the PGA.
What cowards and traitors ! Another case of “tyranny by the minority”.
Their so called apology is nothing but garbage. They knew exactally what they were doing! I am sure when it was aired BO was pleased. I am disquested with the laft getting by with so much. I am past ready for 2012!
We are ready for 2012, to vote out as many Democrats as possible. It must be obvious to everyone who cares that the major TV networks are so leftisit ideologically, they are going to edit and omit what they want ended. Not only are they leftists and propaganda machines for the Democrat party and the unions, they are godless as well. My question: what can we do to edit the TV networks. I haven’t watched NBC television dramas and sit coms for years, but what else can we do to make them feel some pain? If there is ever a day of reckoning for what they are doing to this nation, I hope the major networks are included.
Pat,
You can call & write their sponsors and tell them you won’t ever be buying any of their products until they never give another advertising dollar to any of NBC’s America or God hating networks pure & simple.
Since General Electric is the parent company of NBC and the CEO works for Obama, I would start by boycotting all General Electric goods and services.
That’s the only way to make them feel our collective disgust.
The majority of Americans have suffered because their traditions, moral views and historic truths have been modified, warped, deleted and misconstrued in the name of “political correctness”. This majority is waking up and starting to fight back. The spineless judges and politicians who are either “LaLa Land Leftists” or fanatical Jihadists themselves (or cater to them) will come crashing down with far more pain and humiliation than they ever inflicted. Even persons who, perhaps out of pure misunderstanding or lack of knowledge, have also subscribed to these ideas, will suffer just as the majority of Americans have been made to suffer. These persons always appear to be winning at first; however, their thinking has been proven over and over to be wrong. Wait and see!
