NBC News is a division of NBCUniversal, owned by the publicly traded conglomerate Comcast, and is funded through advertising, affiliate fees, and streaming revenue. It is generally regarded as a mainstream, center-left-leaning U.S. news organization. In 2026 its coverage of the Trump administration has been largely critical, and NBC-affiliated journalists have faced White House access restrictions amid tension between the administration and several major outlets.
