MSNBC Reporter regarding Jordan's "weaponization" hearing: "he was able to score some points"

The reporter showed Dems moping the floor with Taibi, and mentioned that some on the right were "disappointed" with the "shitshow" (my words, NOT the reporters.)

She then said that "Jordan was able to score some points".

This is just another example of our "liberal" media treating EVERY ridiculous fart coming out of Retrumplican "face-anuses" in a serious manor.

I swear, Jordan and the Retrumplicans could hold a hearing on the earth being flat, and the media would report; "they were able to score some points".

All because the media doesn't want to be accused of being "biased".

Bullshit is BULLSHIT. except for when it's treated as anything other than BULLSHIT!

to remove a tweet.

Then Jordan produced an email from someone in the Biden Administration asking to "Flag" a tweet, which mentioned something about removing it.

There is some question about what does "Flag" mean, and if the Biden administration representative that sent the email actually asked Twitter to remove it, or for Twitter to following their tweet policies and determine if it should be removed.

Here is that exchange.
Everyone here can decide for themselves if Jordan scored any points.
Personally, I don't think the Biden official asked to have to tweet removed, but to have Twitter follow there process to see if the tweet violated any policy, to have the tweet removed.

It is the tweet below that has the follow statement:
Goldman exposes Jordan for presenting incomplete information during the hearing to create a narrative of Biden administration censorship

Andrea Mitchell sucks. Most of it sucks until about 4:00 pm when Nicole Wallace is on.

Ari Melba does okay sometimes.
Chris Hayes is mostly okay.
Rachel Maddow is great. Her replacement Tuesday - Wednesday sucks.
Lawrence O'Donnell is great.

It was not just the BS she was spouting, but her presentation of it was awful, as well. At times, she could barely get out a coherent sentence. Not sure where they found Jordan, but I hope they send her back from where she came.

she is a reporter for the Washington Post and only at times a contributor at MSNBC. She is on with Nicole Wallace quite a
bit and is usually pretty good.

(not that the M$M needed a lot of arm twisting). But that has really brought an end to journalism. It isn't their job anymore to tell us the truth, it is their job to provide a bullhorn for politicians that want to preach.

As the saying goes, "the media's job isn't to let the right tell us its raining the left tell us it is sunny, it is to open the fucking window and tell us what the weather actually is"

The point of much of GQP bloviating is simply to put a counter-narrative out there, to "flood the zone with shit" (per Steve Bannon).

Forming the committee, holding hearings forces the "Fair and Balanced" MSM press to cover it. It's a Congressional Hearing, and they have to treat it with a modicum of respect.

When your goal is simply to yell loud enough for people to pay attention to your lies, you score points.

Even a team that loses 12-1 scored a point.
