MSNBC is an entire network filled with commentators, anchors and even some reporters that dislike Trump and his administration.
Apparently, that hate is so strong with some people over at MSNBC that they are willing to run unverified stories that only have one source.
That’s exactly what Lawrence O’Donnell did when he ran a story about President Trump and his banking history when he claimed that Trump was only able to get a loan from Deutsche Bank with a cosigner. And according to O’Donnell, that cosigner was a Russian oligarch.
Well, turns out that that probably wasn’t the case and the far left commentator admitted to an “error in judgment.”
He later apologized on his show, claiming that it wasn’t 100% accurate and it wasn’t ready for air.

President Trump responded Thursday morning about story.
Crazy Lawrence O’Donnell, who has been calling me wrong from even before I announced my run for the Presidency, even being previously forced by NBC to apologize, which he did while crying, for things he said about me & The Apprentice, was again forced to apologize, this time…..

….for the most ridiculous claim of all, that Russia, Russia, Russia, or Russian oligarchs, co-signed loan documents for me, a guarantee. Totally false, as is virtually everything else he, and much of the rest of the LameStream Media, has said about me for years. ALL APOLOGIZE!

The totally inaccurate reporting by Lawrence O’Donnell, for which he has been forced by NBC to apologize, is NO DIFFERENT than the horrible, corrupt and fraudulent Fake News that I (and many millions of GREAT supporters) have had to put up with for years. So bad for the USA!
