This may not come as a shocker, but MSNBC host Rachel Maddow made a false claim about Fox News a couple months ago. So false, in fact, that one fact-check website just concluded “we couldn’t find a single case” of what she said being true. For someone who likes to hate Fox, that’s big.
Although I expect nuttiness from MSNBC, butI am becoming more and more embarrased by our media outlets. They are either dumb as a stump or are purposely distorting the news for politics. I go with the latter. I think all these stories about news outlets rither reporting false information or fake stories explains what has been talked about behind closed doors in the WH.
Yes, as a matter of fact, this is some of the proof right here. What do ya think?
You can find one instance in a couple of months? Especially when your article states that FOX talked extensively about the New Black Panther party, who for what I can sort out, (I'd never even heard of them before) has about the same membership (maybe less) and influence as the KKK? It sounds like FOX was covering them heavily, but Maddow got the context wrong. I'm not a big fan of MSNBC, but if this the only proof you have? If so, that's a big reach.

Oh brother. You apologists are amazing with your support for stupidity. No wonder you guys elected and like Obama.

I don't even watch Rachael Maddow, but I'm big on common sense. You're throwing out one example from a couple of months ago that came from one pundit, who got the story partly right, and partly wrong, as what I think you see as proof that a news outlet lies all the time? If I have it wrong, please explain it to me, because I'm not getting it. I'm not being combative--you've just lost me.
