MSNBC needs to do its homeworks
Earlier today I watched MSNBC with a report about the switching of governorships - the real story, they said.

They had a map of about six states in the mountain region that were all red and now most are blue. Now, I don't know all the governors of all fifty states; I probably know only 10, or so. But I do know that even before last week, New Mexico was blue, with governor Richardson.

So what were they smoking?

Did anyone else catch this?

1. They fired a whole bunch of people recently
probably all fact checkers. They're just repeating the slick propaganda coming out of the RNC now.

2. They know Richardson pretty well. Are you certain you were looking at NM?
and not UT or CO?



All those squareish states are easily confused on the "fill in the blank map" geography test!

5. Yes. Their map was that of the US
with mountain states and their names highlighted. And I did see NM - which is what caught my attention.

Since their stories keep repeating, will have to watch for them later this afternoon. After all, the report was preceding with "the real story of the elections."

3. Didn't see it, but they should learn that Faux is not a reliable source
Neither is Drudge.
