[See NewsBusters for more.] Even for MSNBC, Wednesday’s coverage of William Barr’s testimony to Congress was particularly unhinged. For a second time, Brian Williams and Nicolle Wallace interrupted to offer their spin. This time, Wallace quoted the word “shit” from testimony and then chided Senator Lindsey Graham for using the word “fuck.” But first, Williams, who is an expert himself on lying, explained that MSNBC simply had to correct the untruthful things being said by the Attorney General: “Our intention always is to bring as much of this uninterrupted to you as possible.... But so much has been said here and placed on the record by the Attorney General that starting with Nicolle Wallace we want to correct some of the record.”
