In this link, where Rachel Maddow talks about or more descriptively asks questions about value of understanding the motivation of various people who have committed attacks, she does not do what the OP claims. She mentions the claimed motivation of the Boston attackers. Clearly she could have also included references to white supremacist attacks or Nazi groups attacks. She did include whether it matters if the attackers were motivated by anti-gay hatred. Her question is is there any strategic importance to the motivation.

I think in these two cases the left would have been yelling until their vocal cords were broken about how the motive did mean something. But when its Muslim it suddenly is not meaningful.

What is it about the left that they so desperately try to protect the Radial Muslims?
When "racism" is the reason, then it's VERY important. But when Islam is, not so much.

Remote broken?

Maddow is nuts and just a step behind Chrissy and what's his name.....the guy who hired her and got fired. Keith Whatever.
So in other words, you can't back up your claim, so you're going to cry on the internet?

Her typical ratings are higher than CNN but less than FOX. In the 25-40, she's not much behind Hannity.

No crying here. Laughing my butt off 'til tears run down my face. I suppose the empty headed residents might mistake that for crying.

I challenge anyone to quote a Maddow statement that was not factual.

That was easy...

You do realize that an OPED is something that is written out and the entire thing would not be sprawled across a TV screen so that the viewers could read it, right ?

that is the point that zoomed right over your head. And you still havent provided a link.

The very first one on the page

is hilarious, especially when you click on the link and watch the video. She never claimed their was a budget surplus, she claimed the Walker administration said there was a surplus, which was TRUE !!!!!

They didnt even refute her claim, they just basically say, "Maddow's claim was made 5 months ago and today, Gov Walker agreed to say it was a 137 million dollar deficit. "

so Maddow is lying only because the article was written after Walker finally acknowledged the budget short fall 5 months later.

next time try Factcheck.org, not politifact. less bias, more truthful.

Any links to the "media" information you're referring to? Thanks.
