NBC Avoids Crediting Marco Rubio With Saving Nancy Reagan From Fall

While both ABC's Good Morning America and CBS's Early Show on Tuesday gave due credit to Senator Marco Rubio for catching former First Lady Nancy Reagan as she tripped at Reagan Library event, NBC's Today strangely avoided making any mention of the Florida Republican being present, even as video footage clearly showed him holding Reagan's arm.

In a news brief on Today, Natalie Morales reported: "And a scary moment for former First Lady Nancy Reagan, who tripped over a post used for crowd control during an event last night at the Ronald Reagan Library. As you see there, even as she was escorted to her seat. The 90-year-old Mrs. Reagan was not hurt." Co-host Ann Curry followed by noting how, "It's good somebody was there to make sure she was caught," but still skipped the fact that Rubio was that "somebody."
Remind me again why NBC is biased against Republicans.
FoxNews had this on last night, and they credited Rubio
