Though NBC said it would not apologize for airing an interview with Kardashian mom Kris Jenner on Tuesday’s “Today” show during the moment of silence to honor victims of the Sept. 11 attacks, NBC News President Steve Capus sent a conciliatory note to affiliates, reports Bill Carter:
“Yesterday, we made an editorial call resulting in the Sept. 11 moment of silence not being seen. While we dedicated a substantial amount of airtime to anniversary events, we still touched a nerve with many of your viewers … and for that we apologize.”
Earlier this week, “Today” spokeswoman Megan Kopf told Carter the moment of silence “is not a tradition on our show.”
