In NBC Nightly News’s coverage of President Obama’s Tuesday meeting with French President Hollande, the newscast complained that Turkey’s decision to shoot down a Russian fighter jet had “managed to overshadow” the “crucial meeting at the White House” and further “derailed” an attempt to forge a more cohesive coalition to fight ISIS with Russia.
Anchor Lester Holt explained at the top of the segment that “the incident with that Russian jet managed to overshadow a crucial meeting at the White House today” as Hollande arrived in Washington “before going onto Moscow to push for a united response against ISIS for the attacks in Paris.”
