You know you’ve screwed up when your fellow ideologues feel moved to correct you.
NewsBusters’ Mark Finkelstein, in writing about a discussion on “Morning Joe” of the Delaware Senate debate between Democrat Chris Coons and Republican Christine O’Donnell, asserted that MSNBC’s Norah O’Donnell “referred to the Delaware Senate candidate as a ‘freak show.'”
Except that she didn’t. And issuing the correction was none other than Glenn Beck’s website, The Blaze:
However, the comment may not be that clear cut. It appears the Norah initially described the entire race as a freak show. However, her comments and reaction afterward raise questions as to whether the statement might have been directed at Christine in particular.
Oops! Then again, this is a guy who thinks every checkered scarf is a show of Palestinian support, so Finkelstein seems quite accustoming to seeing things nobody else does.
