NBC News Reveals Kanye West Is A Correspondent

Television network NBC issued a statement today that rapper Kanye West, who appeared on a Hurricane Aid telethon Friday, was "issuing a factual report" and praised his "unorthodox style of reportage," saying it offered a "refreshingly factual perspective" on the news.

West, whose report was integrated into the telecast amid several mindless celebrity telepromter readings, had been investigating the story for many years.

CBS News praised the reporter's controversial report and noted "in a world where systems of reportage are repeatedly overruled by corporate interests, it is important to utilize new contexts for meaningful journalism to reach the public."
