Fake News So Bad Chris Matthews Is the Fact Checker? Host Debunks Reid

You know it’s bad when Chris Matthews is your fact checker. The MSNBC host on Tuesday inadvertently took on this role when his colleague Joy Reid claimed Donald Trump has been talking about the “brown scare at the border.” He hasn’t. Reid was awkwardly forced to admit she made up the quote, saying, “That’s not his exact text.”

Georgia Democratic Party Responds to Onion Article Making Fun of Stacey Abrams

5th February 2019

Read it.

The official Twitter account for the Georgia Democratic Party took the time to respond to a satirical website’s mockery of failed Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.

The Onion, a well-known satirical website, published an article on Tuesday titled “Guilt-Ridden Stacey Abrams Wondering When She Should Tell Democrats That She Lost Her Election.” The article pokes fun of the fact that Abrams, who lost her bid to become Georgia’s next governor, is still considered a rising star among the Democratic Party.

I’m waiting for her to complete her species-reassignment surgery.

Five Corrections to The New York Times

31st January 2019

David Reich pushes back against proglodyte hate-mongering.

As you know, in the fact-checking process I was sent more than 100 statements of which a very high proportion (more than half) were incorrect. For example, as I mentioned to you in my letter of January 7, 20 of 49 statements presented to me for review on January  2 were incorrect, and 27 of the 36 statements presented to me for review on January 5 were incorrect. The high rate of errors was concerning as it suggested that the narrative based on them might not be supported by a solid set of facts. While a substantial number of these incorrect statements were removed through your fact-checking process, some errors got through, and I am therefore now requesting formal corrections of the following 5 errors that meaningfully affect the article, so it is important to set the record straight on them. (I have also identified additional errors, but those are for the most part smaller, so I am not requesting corrections in those cases.)

Fox News’ Chris Wallace Hammers Pence: You Could Open The Government Tomorrow  So could Chuck & Nancy; why not ‘hammer’ them?

OPINION: Ocasio-Cortez And Trump Have More Similarities Than Meet The Eye  Well, they both have teeth.

LOL: No One’s Accepting National Review’s Newest Partial Apology So They Decide to Forgive Themselves Instead

22nd January 2019

Ace of Spades does not suffer fools gladly. (Or at all, really.)

National Review is tired of waiting for people to accept their begrudging, compelled apologies, so they’re accepting their own apology now.

You’re welcome.

Oh, and send them money.
