MSNBC allows bullshit lies to swirl that the White House was linked to ACORN

RedState contributor Brian Faughnan suggested on MSNBC that White House political affairs director Patrick Gaspard was formerly a "senior" official at ACORN -- a charge that was discredited minutes later by the Politico's Ben Smith. During the segment, MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan did not challenge Faughnan's statement and did not point out to the audience that MSNBC had not verified that the charge was true.

This is why these opinionated shows are just that OPINIONS that are not FACT CHECKED and Dylan Ratigan in the end was played. h/t oliver willis
