They just parrot what they hear and believe it. It's pretty damn scary.

Though I have to say that MSNBC is doing a pretty good job of calling them out. We expect it from Chris, Rachel, Lawrence and Joy, but Brian Williams has been quite outspoken lately and I was impressed with how quick Ari was to come back with the facts - though I don't know why he bothered having this joker on in the first place...
