This is the kind of thing that makes this editor just throw up his hands and give up. We’re just Twitchy … we’re not “real news” like MSNBC with pro anchors like Andrea Mitchell and layers and layers of fact-checkers. We did notice last week when Mitchell asked Vice President Kamala Harris about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis saying “that slavery and the aftermath … should not be taught to …schoolchildren.” Of course, Harris didn’t push back on that lie but just rolled with it.

As Twitchy reported earlier, DeSantis press secretary Bryan Griffin let MSNBC and NBC News know that they’d be getting nothing from his office until Mitchell corrected her blatant lie. Well, several days later, Mitchell has “clarified” that she was “imprecise” with her language.

Just unbelievable. It took them four days and you know she was forced to say something.

But journalists insist they should be a protected class.
