As Twitchy told you, MSNBC was all over the news that U.S. Ambassador to Panama John Feeley had resigned over Trump’s reported “shithole countries” remark. The problem was that Feeley resigned yesterday, before the remark was made public. Oops.
MSNBC segment producer Mary Emily O’Hara, who deserves a lot of credit for pushing that B.S. narrative, tried to walk it back after it had already spread far and wide. This was evidently the best she could come up with:

Misleading? Well, OK. That’s one way to put it …

So, it’s readers’ fault for being “confused” by her “misleading” tweet?
Oh, we are the ones that are "confused" over the "comments" part of your post?? Seriously, don't act like you weren't saying he resigned due to the comments made by Trump during the immigration meeting. Nice walk back.

Pathetic.

As several people pointed out, it broke yesterday. Which, coincidentally, is also when Mary apparently thinks all of us were born.
Misleading or untrue?

"Concerns the phrasing was misleading" is being rather charitable, no? pic.twitter.com/TAZ8m7hynF

The phrasing wasn’t just “misleading,” Mary. It was dishonest.
you said he resigned over Trump's comments. That isn't misleading, that is false. https://t.co/WJQ3YzjKZD

Phrasing? Misleading? You are full of it. That was full blown #FakeNews

If “misleading = lied” then yes your comments were very misleading.

LOL at "phrasing"! You lied and were caught. Do your job and quit making excuses for being dishonest.!

"over concerns the phrasing was misleading". No, you made it up trying to make news – you lied 100% and were caught. Fake news. Does @NBCNews even care about the truth anymore?

It’s not the date that was wrong, it was your entire premise. Do a full correction.

Concerns over phrasing?? LIAR-it was fabrication and you know it! #fakenews #nocredibility
