NBC Ignores GOP Winning Another Senate Seat, Discusses World’s Largest Corn Maze Instead

Video cross-posted here at NewsBusters. Early Wednesday morning, Republican Dan Sullivan officially became the Alaska’s next Senator, defeating incumbent Senator Mark Begich (D-AK) more than a week after Election Day. With the victory, the GOP now has 53 Senate seats and could pick up a 54th seat if Congressman Bill Cassidy (R-LA) defeats incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) in December’s runoff election. Despite the GOP increasing its control on the Senate, NBC’s Today ignored the story altogether during its Wednesday morning broadcast and instead discussed the world’s largest corn maze.
