Fake News: NBCNews.com Labels Democratic Senator Menendez as a Republican

On Wednesday, NBCNews.com published an Associated Press dispatch on the bribery trial of Democratic Senator Bob Menendez (N.J.), but there was one huge problem in that Menendez was labeled a Republican. Translation? NBC News saw no reason to engage in basic proofreading or got caught red-handed in the act of liberal bias.

The unauthored post sat for well over two hours before being changed. NBCNews.com offered a correction at the bottom of the story: “CORRECTION (Sept. 6, 2017, 5:35 p.m.): An earlier version of this article misstated the party affiliation of Menendez. He is a Democrat, not a Republican.”

Seeing as how NBC’s Today wasn’t interested in the trial, it wasn’t shocking that they’d punt coverage to AP wire stories. Again, it’s still troubling that this liberal network didn’t engage in any serious proofreading.

While I NEVER watch ANY of these libtards, I did see that clip, and yes, that wench DID double down on stupid. I would not have been quite as diplomatic as Sarah was. I would have said, " you people are classic examples of the bald faced liars we have come to expect out of the mainstream media. There really isn't any reason to discuss ANYTHING with you."
She missed the chance to tell the other wenches, that they call us racists, sexists, bigots, Nazis, Hitlers, homophobes, Islamophobes, and then wonder why we despise them. To H with those rat bast---s.

“NYT Writes 1300 Words About Dem Senator’s Corruption Trial Without Mentioning He’s A Democrat”

Truly enlightening in how they think about criminal corruption they can’t associate it with their own party only with the other party.

Normally you can tell in a news paper artical about corruption which party the politician is from. If they mention the party s/he is a republican, if they don’t mention it s/he is a democrat. Its so predictable.

But NBC takes the cake soo pre-occuplyed in their underlining hate filled thoughts they actually miss-label him as a republican when hes a democrat. No wonder democrats think they can get away with anything, they usually can.

UPDATE:

Some people might think that since this was an AP article posted by NBC News, and therefore NBC News may not have done this deliberately.

Well....

From the Daily Caller..

"The article appears to be a wire from the Associated Press, but the original piece on AP’s website does not feature the mistake, suggesting it was added in by NBC."

This isn’t fake news. This is manufactured news. It’s cooked news.

nice proofreading there, NBC.

Every time Trump makes a misspelling on a tweet, the FakeNews media are all over it.

If they really thought he was a Republican, it would’ve been in the headline.

They buried a lie deep in the article so if anyone WAS reading they would be mis-informed and hate those Republicans with their “culture of corruption that rises to the top ranks of the party”.

I don’t buy that it was a “simple accident”.

Here is Whoopi Goldberg on “The Shrew/View” harping about how the Apollo 11 moon landing was fake (on the 40th anniversary of the landing). Babawawa tries to counter but drifts off. Joy Behar steps up to back Whoopi claiming a large number of “Brits” don’t believe Americans ever landed on the moon.

And she believes she is some kind of arbiter of fake news?
