NBC taps left-wing journalist Yamiche Alcindor to cover Trump in return to White House press corps
Fox News
Yamiche Alcindor is returning to the White House press corps for NBC News despite her contentious history with the President-elect and his previous administration.
Alcindor was accused of glaring liberal bias as a PBS White House correspondent and New York Times reporter during President-elect Donald Trump's first term, where she regularly sparred with the president in contentious public exchanges. Yael Halon is a reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to yael.halon@fox.com.
She was first named White House correspondent of PBS "NewsHour" in 2018. NBC News hired her to be their Washington correspondent in 2021, but Alcindor's history of alarmist, anti-GOP commentary persisted with her new roles.
Months before joining NBC News, Alcindor made headlines when she revealed she considered it her duty to use journalism to bend the "moral arc toward justice."
