A local TV station in Montana apologized for not airing audio of Greg Gianforte's alleged assault

Janie Osborne/Getty ImagesA local television station in Montana on Friday apologized for not airing audio of Republican congressman-elect Greg Gianforte’s alleged assault on a reporter for The Guardian, Ben Jacobs. “We clearly made a mistake, it was unintentional and we apologize,” Tamy Wagner, the general manager of Missoula NBC affiliate KECI, said in a statement to TPM. The Huffington Post was first to note that KECI did not air the audio recording published by The Guardian, even as it went viral Wednesday night and figured prominently in many news outlets’ reports. In the recording, Jacobs can be heard asking a man who is apparently Gianforte for his thoughts on the Congressional Budget Office score of the House GOP bill to repeal Obamacare.
