WashPost: NBC’s Stephanie Ruhle Filmed Promo Spots for Bank She Covers as Journalist
16th October 2020
Integrity is apparently a myth with the journalists at NBC News. The network’s insufferable Business Correspondent Stephanie Ruhle was just exposed for filming promotional videos for a bank she covers.
The Washington Post, which broke the story, wrote that Ruhle “doesn’t promote banks when she’s anchoring for the cable network. But on the Internet, it may be a different story.” In a September 22 clip produced and sponsored by JPMorgan Chase, Ruhle said: “‘Hey, this is Stephanie Ruhle, and I’m looking forward to my conversation with Chase, where we talk about life’s unpredictable moments and how important it is to save and plan for them.’” The Post concluded that “Ruhle isn’t a paid endorser for Chase, but her association with the bank raises questions about potential conflicts of interest.”
