FYI everyone please watch the entire segment. #LawrenceODonnell seriously GOES OFF! on the #media / #press / #journalists / #CableNewsNetworks / #NewsOutlets etc for their utterly #irresponsible & #imbalanced coverage / questioning of #Trump vs #Biden & the #BidenAdministration.

He was brilliant.

More of this please.

“All of the networks knew [the speech] was coming, they knew what time it was coming, they knew how to cover it live & they didn’t after giving Donald #Trump more than an hour of live coverage on all of their networks. It’s 2016 all over again,” he said.

#LawrenceODonnell added that he would “correct that mistake” by airing #Harris’ appearance in Michigan in full.

Lawrence: 'Stupidest' candidate Trump did not answer reporters' questions

YouTube

“Donald Trump is not smart enough to answer questions. Anyone who then tells you that #KamalaHarris has to answer questions from reporters because Donald #Trump already answered questions from reporters is #lying to themselves & to you & you must not allow them to do it” #LawrenceODonnell said.

O’Donnell also called out #CableNewsNetworks for not covering #Harris’ speech in #Michigan live as they did w/Trump’s presser.

#LawrenceODonnell read #Trump’s exact answer to the yes or no question, adding, “The words Donald Trump spoke to those reporters in response to that clear, simple & important yes or no question were an insult to everyone in that room, & they took the insult. Nothing in those words was an answer, nothing.”

O’Donnell then highlighted #Trump’s inability to answer reporters’ questions at the press conference. The newscaster highlighted a question from #NBCNews reporter #GarrettHaake, who asked Trump if he would direct the #FDA to revoke access to #mifepristone.

#LawrenceODonnell noted that “every network has the capacity, especially w/these wide screens we now have at home, to run a live scroll at the side of the screen” to #FactCheck #Trump in real time.

The #MSNBC anchor used as an example when Trump said #KamalaHarris wasn’t smart enough to run a press conference, the network could’ve noted her academic accomplishments.

“It would be hard to find a sentence in what Donald Trump said today that did not include AT LEAST one lie,” #LawrenceODonnell said on his show. “Some of the networks tried to play catchup w/ #FactChecking after Donald #Trump finished speaking but, that of course, is way too late & utterly useless. No network even attempted to check every lie Donald Trump told.” [I gave up after the effort induced a migraine]

Thank you #LawrenceODonnell

Lawrence O’Donnell had #TheLastWord on Thurs night on #MSNBC. The news anchor called out the #media, including his network, for covering #Trump‘s press conference in full & ignoring #KamalaHarris.

O’Donnell took to his late-night show to blast the media for not #FactChecking Trump, who held a “press event” in his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida, saying, “It was 2016 all over again.”

The Statement on Christian Nationalism & the Gospel

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM is a set of governing principles rooted in Scripture’s teaching on Christ’s rule as supreme Lord and King of all creation, Who has ordained civil magistrates with delegated authority to be under Him, over the people, to order their ordained jurisdiction by punishing evil and promoting good for His own glory and the common good of the nation.

CN & the Gospel

1st thought: Cool!

The #gamification of fact checking might be a nice check and balance.

Might even bring a renewed focus on a methodological rigor and basic research. #academia #PeerReview

2nd thought:

‘Checks and balances’ aren’t really working out so well for democracy.
