[See NewsBusters for more.] The New York Times dared to publish an unflattering fact-check of President Joe Biden’s economic talking points on Wednesday and MSNBC contributor and former Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill was infuriated about it. Reacting on Thursday’s Morning Joe, McCaskill did not care to rebut the substance of the article, but demanded that no newspaper fact-check Biden unless they first fact-check Donald Trump every single day on the front page. Ironically, this came immediately after co-host Joe Scarborough repeated some fake news of his own.
