The current media fact free circus over President Obama's prayer breakfast speech was a big topic on The Last Word. Most of the talking heads were making ridiculous claims about what Obama said in the speech, proving none of them had actually listened or read the speech. Joy Reid's statement was brilliant and to the point. She is the smartest person I have heard talk about the prayer breakfast speech.

Lawrence O'Donnell has completely humiliated himself on this subject. He reacted to a short sound bit without reading and comprehending the actual speech. He needs to stop imitating Faux News to justify his personal ignorance and religious bigotry. He failed to read the actual speech before opening his big mouth and proving his ignorance on this subject.

Way to go Joy Reid! She was absolutely brilliant and did an amazing job of exposing the incredible hypocrisy of the American media pundit class.
