I'll give CNN credit for this

[senseandsensibility]

They are keeping Daniel Dale busy fact checking tfg's big lie fest last night. He's been on a few times since last night. Haven't seen much fact checking on MSNBC.

1. Because, unlike CNN, MSNBC didn't air his announcement live and they haven't covered it...

...nearly as in-depth as CNN has.

I much prefer MSNBC's approach to CNN's.

2. I hear ya

but the coverage they are giving it does not include fact checking and seems to be kind of wishy washy. It was "low key" is not nearly critical enough. And actually, it wasn't low key.

3. Factchecking him would still be giving him a platform to spread his lies.

Simply ignoring them altogether is the play here. I haven't been watching every second of MSNBC last night and today, but from what I did see, they weren't even airing any of his comments. They just were talking about how he announced that he would be running for president in 2024. In this situation, you don't need to factcheck what you don't give air to to begin with.

4. Here, I'll fact check:

Lies: 100%
Truth: 0%

Contacting CNN where to send my check.

5. To Be Fair...

...he didn't lie about who he is.
So, it wasn't 100% lies. 99.99% probably.

6. They also spent

a good part of it with the volume muted and they talked over it, some of that talk was not even about Trump! Can you imagine?

I had it on out of morbid curiosity.

I far prefer CNN to MSNBC. Their opinions do not influence me.

8. Interesting.

CNN is better at breaking news IMO and also covers more of a variety of stories. But I really hate the panels they have on during the day.

9. Same here but I hardly watch any

of it anywhere. I like to catch the headlines and maybe a little story but once it wanders off into opinion I turn it off.

7. It Would Take Up Less Air Time if Dale Reported Out the Truthful Statements n/t
