===The MSNBC – White House connection===
During coverage of the Gulf Oil Spill, Democrat party [[apparatchik]] Mika Brzezinski, who is also an anchor of the MSNBC show ''[[Morning Joe]]'', worked with the White House to distribute propaganda falsely claiming that Obama was doing an effective job managing the problem. Brzezinski, who is the daughter of NSA Zbigniew Brzezinski from the failed Carter administration, admitted on the air that "I have a file that I've been working on with the White House."<ref>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2010/06/21/mika-admits-im-working-white-house-oil-spill-talking-points#ixzz2PpmYB7O3</ref>

In July 2020 MSNBC producer Ariana Pekary quit, calling the network fake news and a cancer that risks human lives, even in the middle of a pandemic. Pekary said President Trump became the primary focus of the [[coronavirus]] coverage instead of “science itself.” “As new details have become available about antibodies, a vaccine, or how COVID actually spreads, producers still want to focus on the politics. Important facts or studies get buried,” she wrote in her resignation letter.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/08/04/msnbc-producer-calls-network-a-cancer-after-quitting-job/</ref>

Inflammatory remarks he made in 2009 before becoming an MSNBC personality began circulating online again, when he compared non-Muslims to "animals" and linked homosexuals to "pedophiles" and "sexual deviants." New York Post reporter Jon Levine said it's "hard to imagine MSNBC allowing someone on television who said similar things about a different religion."
"Look, Americans get very upset when our nation is accused of war crimes, but I'm sorry to break this to you, our nation has done some pretty awful things abroad, and we have to be able to talk about them," Hasan wrote at the time.

During the 2019 uproar over Omar's antisemitic rhetoric, Hasan downplayed the controversy, saying the Democratic lawmaker "maybe unwittingly echoed tropes" but directed most of his ire at then-President Trump and Republicans as well as the media's coverage of her comments.
Hasan did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

===Erred "knowledge" on the Middle East===
In 2015, MSNBC's showed its lack of basic knowledge, when it aired a silly propaganda "map" of a supposed ‘land loss’ for Arab-[[Palestinian]]s. Obviously, it shows no such thing. Not to mention, the first ever "palestinian" Arab control in history was not before 1995. Reminder, in 1946, the land was still controlled by the [[British]] .<ref>Ian Tuttle, [https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/msnbc-israel-map-palestinian-land-loss/ MSNBC Airs Propaganda Map of Palestinian ‘Land Loss’
[], NRO, October 19, 2015 .<blockquote>
Apparently unsatisfied with merely skewed coverage, MSNBC went for out-and-out propaganda during last Thursday’s Live with Kate Snow, airing a map of Palestinians’ “loss of land” since 1946:
Obviously, it shows no such thing. But the image accompanied an interview with Martin Fletcher, MSNBC’s Middle East “expert,” who, naturally, waxed mournful.</blockquote></ref>
