The media misinformation machine was churning at record speed yesterday after the indictment against Donald Trump was unsealed and NBC News helped spread the lie that the charges include conspiracy. That “fake news” spread like wildfire only to leave many lefties feeling bluer than usual when they realized the reality is that no, there isn’t a conspiracy charge.
Speaking of spreading lies, MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow didn’t want to show Trump’s speech last night because “there’s a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things”:

A certain former CNN host who used to frequently interview Michael Avenatti also passed that along without any pangs of self-awareness whatsoever:
It's worth underscoring what @Maddow said on MSNBC tonight: "There is a cost to us as a news organization of knowingly broadcasting untrue things." There is a cost. pic.twitter.com/QvBQTlcJWL

It’s hilarious that Maddow and MSNBC, one of the biggest purveyors of “misinformation” since the advent of broadcast journalism, didn’t want to spread any lies.
Hahahahaha!!! This is peak irony. . . https://t.co/LlW8VIOy49

It really is.
Remember when @Maddow devoted a whole segment to proving Anthony Weiner was hacked? https://t.co/1Ff4KgFqg7

Not to mention the constant 24/7 “Russia collusion” hyperventilating? And so much more.
This kinda look like you @maddow https://t.co/ZR3LlcbP6z pic.twitter.com/dMqjfKfDMS

Yes. The Russiagate lie harmed our country more than anything else https://t.co/kSA1yHTKiv

Guy who was fired for knowingly broadcasting untrue things would like you to know there is a cost for knowingly broadcasting untrue things.
This clown tweeted this without the slightest hint of irony. Amazing. https://t.co/TI9wOaew5K

Remember Maddow’s big “Geraldo Rivera opens Capone’s vault” moment with Trump’s tax documents? The list of MSNBC BS goes on forever.
