Appearing on the 11 a.m. ET hour of MSNBC on Thursday, California Democratic Congressman Ted Lieu laughably told viewers of the left-wing network: “The best way to oppose fake news is for people to watch outlets like MSNBC, where you report real news all the time.”

The comment was prompted by anchor Ali Velshi asking Lieu about a resolution he recently co-sponsored in Congress entitled: “Opposing fake news and alternative facts.” The reporter wondered: “I don’t know if it’s going to go anywhere, but it's really interesting. You're opposing fake news and alternative facts. How do you conceive of that working?”
