MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow led her show Tuesday night with an explosive allegation: The administration of President Trump had intentionally buried a question asked of Russian President Vladimir Putin during last week’s news conference in Helsinki. Not an insignificant question, either. The one about whether or not Putin wanted Trump to win.

“We can report tonight that the White House video of that exchange has also skilfully cut out that question from the Reuters reporter as if it didn’t happen,” Maddow claimed.

Quote

Our transcript and the White House’s were apparently based on the feed that runs only in the right channel. A White House official told CNN’s Abby Phillip that its transcript “did not have Mason’s audio turned up in time,” referring to Reuters reporter Jeff Mason, who asked the question.

This is not a conspiracy from the White House. While the White House certainly has a track record of misrepresenting facts, this would have been a remarkably futile revision of reality to attempt. As it turns out, they didn’t.

What are your thoughts on UFOs?

So, what happened after the mistake was discovered?

The mistake was disseminated to right wing trolls in order to cite it out of context as evidence of equal dishonesty among liberal journalists.

Duh!

So multiple outlets, including MSNBC, reported on it based off the White House own release (without the question) and then acknowledged it changed later.

 

CONSPIRACY!

 

honest question, did you simply just turn to google and type “Rachel Maddow conspiracy” and copy paste the result? She went to Oxford you big dummy. She is easily one of the more qualified commentators on cable, and puts in more work than the entirety of Conservative media.

I don’t care if others made false the claim, without evidence, that the White House intentionally altered the recording. I also don’t care that about where she went to school. There are plenty of insane right wingers who graduated from elite schools. She doesn’t do any real investigative reporting. She’s a pundit, not a journalist, just like the talking heads on FNC.

Well, yeah. Everyone knows that.

It’s funny watching Fozzz describe Russia Today as objective journalism in one thread and then go on a jihad against Russia biggest critic in the MSM. 

One might think he was trolling.

Come on, dude, it's journalism that just happens to be funded by the Russian government. That doesn't mean it's not objective. Russia has a long history of being hands off when it comes to journalists.

"Kids belong to whole communities". I know some agree with this but this seems out there. This is one of the core tenets of Marxism.

Why the fuck are you posting an ad from 2016?  Dumb people on Twitter posting outrage porn from 6 years ago.  And the worst poster on Surly then necrobumping a thread to post it.  Post less.

So you woke up this morning and decided to be taken aback by a 5+ year old commercial with the message “it takes a village.”
Thank you Joe Biden for making life so much easier and care-free that people have to voluntarily rewatch old commercials to be scared.

They have always invented shit to be afraid of. War on Christmas!

Bravo posting before dawn is becoming something of a trend, huh?

time zones in Russia are different

 

Someone back in the day used to comment on how EMAW would always post at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning too.

Although I don't think Bravo is EMAW.  Or is he?

Spoiler

He's probably not.

I don't remember the old Kansas State fan EMAW ever taking pictures of himself flipping off his UT diploma.  Although it's not like a KSU fan couldn't find a fake UT diploma to flip off either.  Who knows?

Elon Musk has called MSNBC “the utter scum of the Earth.” He has said the channel “peddles puerile propaganda.” Just a few days ago he said, “MSNBC is going down.” And now he is posting memes about buying the channel.

Conventional wisdom holds that Musk — the world’s richest man and key Donald Trump ally — and his friends are just joking. But Musk’s posts are adding to the anxiety that MSNBC staffers are feeling about the reelection of Donald Trump and the recently announced spinoff of Comcast’s cable channels.

I spent Sunday on the phone with sources to gauge what might be going on. I learned that more than one benevolent billionaire with liberal bonafides has already reached out to acquaintances at MSNBC to express interest in buying the cable channel. The inbound interest was reassuring, one of the sources said, since it showed that oppositional figures like Musk (who famously bought Twitter to blow it up) would not be the only potential suitors.
