The Modern Media Miasma of Misinformation

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough, like the other right-awing talking heads, is accustomed to peddling bullshit propaganda. He's just not accustomed to getting called on it.

Comparing Obama's response to Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 to Reagan's reaction to KAL Flight 007, shot down by the USSR in 1983, Scarborough repeatedly insisted that “[Reagan] immediately canceled his vacation.”

If Mika Brzezinski had not INSISTED on correcting Scarborough with the facts, Scarborough would have gotten away with rewriting history yet again, pushing the mass audience a little deeper into the corporate media miasma of misinformation.

And this is the “liberal” corporate news media channel, remember? The one that peddles lies to kiss Reagan's ancient ass.
