NBC host Brian Williams mixed up Kenya and Nigeria this week when covering the story of the missing Nigerian schoolgirls.
The Nightly News anchor stated in
his broadcast that "the kidnapping of 276 girls in Kenya". He later
compounded the error, saying "we've learned that eight more female
students have been abducted today in Kenya."By the end of the broadcast he was correctly referring to Nigeria.
An NBC statement after the broadcast read: "Brian realized his error right away, corrected it two minutes later and for all subsequent feeds. He wrote the item in question in the rush before airtime - it was an error borne of haste and he felt terrible about it."
Boko Haram abducted
about girls from a school in Nigeria's north-eastern Borno state.
According to reports 50 girls escaped, but the radical group is
threatening to sell 200 odd girls who they still have.
