Lawrence O’Donnell, reported some information based on an anonymous source on one of the NBC networks and over Twitter.
Oops, it turns out Larry was wrong and NBC didn’t apply it’s usual rigorous vetting of items based on anonymous sources.
No, there’s no bias in the media, it’s just a tiny little boo-boo.
FYI, the retraction reads that Larry made an “error in judgment”, which indicates that he chose to run with this even though he knew it wasn’t properly sourced.
I’m guessing this doesn’t meet the “fake news “ standard either.

Things would be so much easier if people read posts before they comment on them. Had only this post been read, I wouldn’t have had an idiotic comment.
To clear up some stupidity.
Twitter is one medium, not "the media"
Media, 1. the main means of mass communication (broadcasting, publishing, and the Internet) regarded collectively.
Media, noun. a plural of medium. (usually used with a plural verb) the means of communication, as radio and television, newspapers, magazines, and the Internet, that reach or influence people widely:
Media, 1. Communication channels through which news, entertainment, education, data, or promotional messages are disseminated. Media includes every broadcasting and narrowcasting medium such as newspapers, magazines, TV, radio, billboards, direct mail, telephone, fax, and internet.
This is why definitions are important.
Feo, when your idiocy extends to making pronouncements about what I "know" you have gone way over the line.
Your desperation is amusing.
I gotta start reading more of those feo comments I delete from my spam folder. Evidently they're hilarious in their idiocy!
Generally when they’re long or when they start by referencing Stan I delete them. If they’re short I skim them. This whole “I’m a clairvoyant and I know what you are thinking” thing is weirder than most, but most of them don’t relate to anything.
Deleted at Dan's once again for daring to speak the truth about Scripture and those who live according to its teachings.
Shocking. You know the only stuff that gets a pass over there is the bs.
