The hosts criticize NBC News 36 for its coverage of a July 4th Independence Day celebration at the Texas State Capitol. They allege that reporter Rich Parsons and producer Richard Collison deceptively edited footage of a mental patient burning a U.S. flag to make it appear associated with their own protest, which involved shredding a United Nations flag.

Steve Lane and Rusty Fields host "The Freedom Report," discussing an Independence Day rally at the Texas State Capitol. They accuse NBC News 36 (KXAN) and reporter Rich Parsons of deceptive editing by lumping their UN flag-shredding event with a separate incident involving a mental patient burning an American flag. The hosts argue this was a deliberate attempt to make the freedom movement appear anti-American.
