Update Heading?

I was wondering if I should reword the opening lines of this article to reflect that NBC is a far-left fake news organization? Just like "The Gateway Pundit" is known for publishing "falsehoods, hoaxes, and conspiracy theories," so has NBC. Who could forget the time NBC used "doctored" photographs to fool people into thinking the measles outbreak of a few years back was a lot worse than it actually was? Surely lying on air is not a good thing, right? Shouldn't this article actually report these falsehoods? Wikipedia IS impartial.... right?HaarFager (talk) 12:09, 9 July 2025 (UTC)

I agree with this. Yusuf Michael (talk) 06:23, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

NBC is hardly equivalent to The Gateway Pundit. Gateway Pundit is so unreliable that it was deprecated by Wikipedia in 2019 after a RfC. Everything you put on Wikipedia has to be verifiable. If you cannot find evidence of verifiability, you won't get such an edit made. Try putting out an RfC to your fellow editors to gauge opinion. Bill Heller (talk) 10:08, 28 December 2025 (UTC)

Logo

The logo discussion should mention the Nebraska Public Media (current name, not the name then) suit as discussed on the Wikipedia page for Nebraska Public Media. Kdammers (talk) 18:48, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

NBC is Obviously a Liberal News Network

Why does the Fox News lead say that it's a "conservative" news company while NBC does not? This is preposterous. Yusuf Michael (talk) 06:23, 27 December 2025 (UTC)

Because NBC isn't conservative? ~2026-11803-6 (talk) 05:26, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

Addressing how the full name is used

@Rasptae You keep removing "the" from the lead when NBC's full name is used in a sentence. It is incorrect. "The" is how it's addressed:

• NBCUniversal itself calls it "the National Broadcasting Company" when used in a sentence: https://www.nbcuniversal.com/history/1920
• An article from WIRED also addresses it the same way: https://www.wired.com/2010/09/0909rca-creates-nbc/
• The Library of Congress does so as well: https://guides.loc.gov/nbc

No one calls it "National Broadcasting Company" without the "the", it's not up to you to call it "redundant" because you feel that way because every source will include "the" when the full name is used. Please take a look at History of NBC, NBC Radio Network and Blue Network to see the company's full name addressed correctly. Limmidy (talk) 20:13, 30 December 2025 (UTC)

@Limmidy, thanks for your thorough research on the topic and clarifying it for me

An article "the" is used with any names which contain such terms as "Company", "Corporation", or "System" (ABC, BBC, or CBS). But it seems this rule should've been applied to other entities as well, for example, CNN or CNBC, isn't it so?

P.S. Don't you find odd that NBCUniversal itself calls it "Corporation" instead of "Company" in the introductory line of the article you've provided me with ("The Birth of the National Broadcasting Corporation")? Rasptae (talk) 15:43, 31 December 2025 (UTC)

There isn't a "rule" because each company is different. As for CNN and CNBC, they technically should have "the" in the lead, so not sure why it's not there because I clearly see it being used later in the article.

As for NBCUniversal using "Corporation", not that odd - the image under it clearly shows "Company". Limmidy (talk) 17:02, 31 December 2025 (UTC)
