MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace Refuses To Air Trump's Immigration Remarks Live

https://www.politicususa.com/2018/11/01/nicolle-wallace-preemptively-fact-checks-trump-immigration-remarks.html

Jason Easley at PoliticusUSA

"SNIP....

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace wouldn’t air Trump’s remarks on immigration from the White House until she preemptively fact-checked them.

Wallace explained on her show Deadline: White House, “Donald Trump is making remarks in the Roosevelt room this hour. Five days before the midterm elections and a day after admitting to ABC news that he tells the truth only when he can. Today’s remarks come after weeks of engaging in a deliberate strategy of stoking fear about the humanitarian crisis in Central America. A slow-moving caravan of asylum seekers and migrants. They also come after — come days after a war of words with house speaker Paul Ryan about birthright citizenship. Donald Trump’s divisive speech has been cited as contributing to the climate in which the synagogue shooter targeted Jewish Americans and the pipe bomber targeted trump’s critics. Because he’s used immigration in blatantly political ways and in an abundance of caution, we’ve decided to monitor those remarks, fact-check them against his rhetoric and record on immigration and bring you the important news from them.”

Rest of the media: Is that so hard to do? The rationale for ignoring Trump's rantings live is right there. He lies, he admits he lies, and he tells the truth only if he's cornered like a rat. If the White House cuts off your access, what have you lost access to? A pack of lies? Oh, boo hoo, you might have to give up airing lies in the morning. That would be a blow!

The only people swinging at that MAGA bullshit with bare knuckles are former republicans like Nicole Wallace, Steve Schmitt, Anna Navarror, George Will, Jenifer Rubin, ect. They aren't fucking around, they are trying to draw blood with every punch.

That people like Schmidt, Wallace, Rubin, Will, Navarro, et al, realize, and admit how they help give Trumpism life and pledge to treat democrats as fellow Americans and patriots that they just have some important, but minor political difference with.

...as she tossed away tweets from Trump and press conference statements from Sarah. Said she wasn't going to read them out loud any more.

So, okay, sometimes she has to do it -- but the lady is very selective, and she fact-checks. And today she really broke free and led the way.

Tons of posters today griped about CNN -- I think they should all take a little time and write to CNN pointing out that if Nicolle can do it, so can they. Plus a second note to MSNBC giving heartfelt thanks for what Nicolle just did.

Thought that was interesting, that she actually said it was an explicit policy. I think she takes after RM on this -- Rachel says "don't pay attention to what they say, pay attention to what they do" and she doesn't air 45's remarks except as read from transcripts.

and now they are finally having an attack of news responsibility? Too little, too late. Everything he does now is for reelection, he should be ignored and put in the comic section of the newspaper.

Networks commonly have a several second delay so swearing or inappropriate language can be edited. Why can’t we put Trump on delay and run chirons underneath that refute his lies?
