This isn't "bias" per se, but just another reminder that people who work for MSM outlets are, generally, profoundly unimpressive and incompetent people.

And when someone screws up, they are supposed to come clean, right? Apologize?

Yeah. That happened.

While this was a pretty big screw up by some underpaid intern, it was still a screw up that was apologized for.

So how much was the intern paid? What should they have been paid? If they were paid more, would they not have screwed up?

No they would have been paid more if they were more competent. But hey, we all gotta start somewhere.

Considering I am not in charge of payroll at MSNBC, maybe you should direct your stupid questions to them.

Not even sure you understand how internships work. Not surprising, that.

How much were Trump's "top people" getting paid to keep looking for Obama's secret Kenyan birth certificate for six years straight?

Probably less than them.

You made the claim the person who screwed up was just some underpaid intern as, I guess, some form of excuse.

So pony up the details.

I asked some questions regarding a claim the screw up referenced in the OP was the result of some underpaid intern.

If you don't want to answer those questions, fine.

Actually, if you think about this in just a fair and unbiased way, it's really surprising this doesn't happen more often. The cable news channels are always rushing, trying to put out the latest news 24/7. They are rushing to put together what to say and what graphics to show, what guests to have and exactly how much can be said between commercials without sections being cut off etc. I'm not saying it's the hardest job on earth, but it's surprising that you only see mistakes like this every once in a while. We have 3 main cable news channels, 5 or 6 if you count the CNBC and Fox Business off shoots, and they all have a few accidents like this.

When I first got out of college and started working at an engineering firm and started going out to chemical plants for field work I expected nothing but the most intelligent professionals acting like mature adults at all times. In reality you get a lot of very intelligent professional people, some very smart but very odd people, some idiots that are hired because they couldn't find anyone else and will be laid off as soon as things slow down, some people that are very intelligent on one or two topics but are unable to do anything else etc. That's just reality.

Dig up your own details, lazy ass.

In the same spirit of your post, the question i have is how often do these outlets get the story wrong and are forced to go back and retract what they published/broadcasted?
Who are the worst offenders?
What is the context of the errors?
I think a comprhensive study answering those questions could go a long way determing the cedability of each outlet.

Considering how much info they are constantly pumping out, they get very little wrong.

I don't know how a study would help anything. It would be hard or impossible to keep track of and to figure out the standards for what's wrong or the context, and even if you did a great study, people wouldn't listen to it. It would be like a fact checking website. Even the good ones aren't trusted by those that put partisan politics above truth and facts.

Corrections are news to Righties because White Wing TV never apologizes for their mistakes. In fact, mistakes are made on purpose, since the Propaganda Outlets bank on dummies believing their misinformation.

No cable news outlet has been sued by its own reporters for forcing them to lie, except Fox.
