NBC news forgot (?!!) to mention NSA spying on Dr. Martin Luther King

Sure, Brain Williams (the typo stays) mentioned a few people you never heard of, and Muhammad Ali, but failed to mention Dr. King ?!!! Weird, since King was at least in the top 2 names you'd know on the list. Oh, and the only one who was assassinated...and if they were tracking him why didn't they PROTECT him? WTF is going on here?

To protect him, they might have had to come out from the shadows, and if they came out from the shadows, some lone nut mighta sneaked through them. NBC is just pertectin' history.

Don't know about the NSA but Hoover blackmailed RFK for the wiretap approvals.
