NBC Portrays Army Parade as a 'North Korea and Russia' Like Spectacle

All three of the main broadcast networks suggested that President Trump’s decision to put on a Saturday parade for the Army’s 250th birthday was a waste of money, but only Friday’s NBC Nightly News went so far as to compare it to “North Korea and Russia.”

Kelly O’Donnell reported that the parade would include “7,000 soldiers, 150 Army vehicles, and more than 60 aircraft expected to draw thousands of visitors, and the potential for protests.”

She also focused on the security preparations, “Barriers are a big part of protection here. From concrete bollards to anti-scale fencing, 18.5 miles of this is going up around key parts of the city.”
