[See NewsBusters for more.] MSNBC journalists on Wednesday breathlessly broke in with the liberal network’s idea of “breaking news.” Reporting on a heckler yelling at Ted Cruz in New York, a network graphic alerted, “Breaking News: Protester: Cruz Is ‘Right-Wing Bigot.’” That’s breaking news? Someone, somewhere, screaming something? Reporter Vaughn Hillyard hyped this somehow important story, narrating the man’s complaints: “He was calling him a racist bigot. He was calling him a right-wing bigot that has no place in the Bronx. The man started yelling that this is an immigrant community.” Hillyard explained that the individual asserted the Bronx is a “low-income community.”
