Rachel Maddow and the research team at MSNBC can't tell a real story from a fake one.
Once again Rache and the uber-intelligent ivy league educated liberals at MSNBC fall for a fake story online and report it as truth.
What is REALLY amusing is that Rachel Maddow makes an idiot of herself while mocking conservatives.
"
The Internet's finest satirists hooked a big fish in the media world last night. In an embarrassing segment on her MSNBC show, Rachel Maddow slammed conservatives for attacking President Obama's Egypt policies. Her targets included Kentucky Senator Rand Paul, former ambassador to the UN John Bolton and Stephenson Billings at ChristWire.org. Only problem is Stephenson Billings is not a real person. He's a fictional byproduct of a website that also warns readers that the Xbox Kinect is a terrorist training tool and the Japanese have created scary robot babies which "threaten humanity."
The article that caught Maddow's eye called for an "American-led invasion" into Egypt and begged former Alaska governor Sarah Palin to lead the war cry.
"The escalating crisis in Egypt could become a defining moment for Sarah Palin," Billings wrote. "Governor Palin needs to speak out publicly and forcibly for an American-led invasion to protect our interests in North Africa."
In the following clip (which MSNBC scrubbed from its website) Maddow falls for the article hook, line and sinker:"
Look for another lame non-apology, apology from Rachel Maddow on yet another outlandishly irresponsible propaganda...ahem, reporting.
Now that Olby is fired, Rachel is fighting for the position of biggest idiot at MSNBC (and that's saying something!)
Also interesting that there are no respected fact-checking organizations that finds these matters to have been accurately reported by Fox.
I think all organizations have reported on things that were debunked quickly. They see a story printed, wonder how they missed it, and quickly print it themselves before they realize it was a fake. Rachel Maddow is simply one of the worst when it comes to admitting her mistakes. She not only sees a headline and runs before fact-checking it, she makes up her own headlines, which is in an entirely different world and something I DON'T see from places that are far more balanced, yes Fox being far more balanced than her. I've said it before, there's a difference between a talk show host giving his or her opinions, and talk show hosts who pretend that they're the actual news. She definitely falls into the latter categories.
Considering the sources you've provided, you're also demonstrating others that continuously fall into the latter. A democratic underground forum as a source? That's where much of the fake news being reported comes from to begin with. Media Matters, another forum written by activists with an agenda who tell their OPINION. If a reporter was to use them as sources, well then that ...

If a reporter was to use them as sources, well then that reporter would be doing the very thing we both are saying is wrong, yet that's who you're using. Geez, Media Matters' global warming stories are enough proof that they're an opinion based political activist site. "We say this is the way things are because we say this is the way things are"....not good. So Fox reports a false story from scientists because an activist says the scientists are wrong. A story uses credible experts, a forum has people making claims.
It is hilarious that you invoke rachel and then, in the very next sentence, use the term "journalistic integrity". That's like referencing poop in context with gourmet dining.
This is the liberal motto.
Good one.
