Another liberal, another lie, another routine retraction, another complete absence of accountability.
Say, I heard (from a single source I can't identify, not verified) that MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell will quietly receive a raise and a bonus in the next few weeks as a result of his lie smearing Trump.
NEW YORK (AP) — MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell on Wednesday retracted his story about supposed Russian ties to President Donald Trump's finances and apologized for reporting it — just as Trump's lawyer demanded.
O'Donnell said, however, he still doesn't know whether or not the story is true.
His public pull-back unfolded quickly in the opening minute of "The Last Word," where 24 hours earlier the cable news host said that a source had told him that Deutsche Bank documents showed that Russian oligarchs had co-signed a loan application for Trump.
O'Donnell reported the story, based on a single source he did not identify, even as he couched it with the qualifier "if true" and admitted it had not been verified by NBC News.
O'Donnell quickly tweeted that he made an "error in judgment" reporting the story.
They try to make themselves seem "noble" by fessing up to their lies, but the damage has already been done. People are running with the initial story. The retraction, which only took up a minute of airtime while the initial went on for many times that, not so much, which makes such recklessness all the more despicable. But you can't expect anything else from the Trump-hating, unhinged media that sees its primary function as hurting the president first, fact checking second.
When is Twitter and Youtube going to ban this conspiracy theorist?
