Talking head Lawrence O’Donnell spews disinformation to network audience
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell on Thursday provided a perfect example of how mainstream media pundits propagandize their audience with gaslighting and constant lies about anyone to the right of Mao Tse Tung.
Discussing the politically motivated NYC lawsuit against Donald Trump over an alleged “hush money” payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels, O’Donnell ignored basic facts being reported by several outlets in order to lie to his viewers.
MSNBC just massively called out Jesse Waters, Fox News And Donald Trump for lying about the jury.
I don’t understand how things like this cannot result in Donald Trump being thrown in jail. Fox News should also face repercussions. It’s one thing for the media to report on… pic.twitter.com/9NUUFmvYaO

O’Donnell told his viewers, “Jesse Watters said, ‘They are trying to rig the jury.’ That is a lie. Jesse Watters said, ‘They are catching undercover liberal activists.’ That is a lie. There has not been a single liberal activist or conservative activist revealed in the jury selection process. Not one. And, Jesse Watters said, ‘They are lying to the judge.’ That is a lie. That is a pure Bill O’Reilly, Jesse Watters-style lie invented from absolutely nothing.”
He went on to point out that just eighteen minutes after Watters “extemporaneously delivered that lie on the Fox Lying channel,” Donald Trump echoed the comment on his Truth Social platform.
The triggered MSNBC host claimed Trump’s social media post will present legal trouble for the embattled presidential frontrunner.
The propaganda disseminated by O’Donnell did not reveal HIS OWN OUTLET had already reported on the reality of the situation, which proves Watters did not lie.
The same day as O’Donnell’s unhinged rant, MSNBC reporter Vaughn Hillyard explained a juror who was already approved by the court had been dismissed after the District Attorney’s office learned the person was arrested for “taking down a political poster.”
“This came to light after this individual had testified as part of their questionnaire that they had never had a prior arrest…” O’Donnell’s co-worker stated.

Just to be clear, being arrested for defacing political fliers could definitely be defined as political activism.
It’s also well-documented that the individual DID LIE to the judge about the incident contrary to O’Donnell’s claim that no juror ever lied to the court.
The New York Times reported Thursday, “A prosecutor, Joshua Steinglass, said that juror #4 or someone with their name seems to have been arrested in the 1990s in Westchester for tearing down political advertisements. After some additional research, he says, they also found that the juror’s wife was previously involved in a corruption inquiry and cooperated with the D.A.’s office. This means that the juror, if they’ve identified the right person, lied in response to one of the questions on the questionnaire, Steinglass says.”
Despite O’Donnell’s entire rant being fraudulent, other left-wing outlets ran with the notion he “scorched” Watters and further promoted the false claims.

This kind of blatant lying and holding back key information from viewers is a textbook example of how the modern establishment media operates.
Thankfully, more and more Americans are catching on to the propaganda.
Lawrence Odonnell claims no jurors in the Trump NY case have lied to the judge. That is just “made up out of whole cloth”.
