White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has been caught saying untrue things many times, but she’s often relied on a convenient excuse. “We give the best information that we have at the time,” has long been a go-to line for Donald Trump’s chief spokesperson.

The subtext, which has never been especially subtle, has always been that Sanders doesn’t necessarily lie, so much as she’s lied to. When the White House press secretary passes along information that proves to be false, it’s not her fault if she’s merely a conduit for others’ falsehoods ...

Credibility is a difficult thing to earn, but it’s an even more difficult thing to recover once it’s gone.

1. Wait!

When was there ever any crediblity?

There was none with Trump before he announced his run, there was none during the campaign and there has been none since he took office. The media just soaked up one bizarre statement after another hoping for headlines and viewers to sell advertising. He played them and they willfully went along, most particularly ALL the 24/7 Breathless, Breaking Cable Noise Infotainment.

I don’t consider MSNBC to be a credible news source for anything.
