NBC News anchor Andrea Mitchell is facing sharp criticism online after she appeared to credit President Joe Biden for the recently signed Gaza peace agreement, despite widespread recognition that the accord was brokered by former President Donald Trump and international partners in Cairo.
During a live broadcast on Monday, Mitchell referred to the deal as “a testament to President Biden’s continued leadership in promoting stability in the Middle East,” sparking immediate backlash from viewers, political analysts, and social media users who accused the veteran journalist of misrepresenting the facts.
The historic peace document, signed at a summit in Egypt, brought together Israeli and Palestinian representatives for the first time in years, marking what officials called “the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in the region in decades.” Trump, who attended the summit, described it as “a moment 3,000 years in the making.”
“Giving Biden credit for Trump’s agreement isn’t just inaccurate ,it’s a complete rewrite of recent history,” said Dr. Karen Whitmore, a media ethics professor at Georgetown University. “Viewers expect factual reporting, not political spin.”
Conservative commentators quickly seized on the remarks, flooding social media with clips of Mitchell’s broadcast. Hashtags such as #MediaBias and #GazaPeaceDeal trended across X (formerly Twitter), with users demanding corrections from NBC.
NBC News has not yet issued an official statement or correction regarding Mitchell’s comments. However, network insiders told Innovation Times that editorial teams were reviewing the segment in question.
The controversy underscores growing tensions between mainstream media outlets and audiences over the accuracy and impartiality of political coverage. With the 2026 midterm elections approaching, analysts say moments like these could further erode public trust in traditional news organizations.
