These people play a significant role in framing policy on ‘free’ healthcare and ‘free’ college. Some media and television veterans, like former Fox Newser and current Sinclair host Eric Bolling, pointed out that MSNBC’s producers were also at fault for creating a whole full-screen graphic of an unverified assessment from a third party and letting Williams and Gay discuss it without ever checking the math. Of course, they got ridiculed online, but not just by amused viewers.
New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay and MSNBC anchor Brian Williams were mocked Friday for a not-so-great demonstration of their math skills on the air Thursday night when neither realized that $500 million divided among 327 million people would not give each person $1 million. The Wrap reported in March of 2020:īrian Williams, NY Times’ Mara Gay Dragged for Bad On-Air Math About Bloomberg Campaign Spending Before coming to The Times in 2018, she was a City Hall reporter at The Wall Street. This is the same person who thought Bloomberg's $500 million in campaign spending could have been divided into a million dollars for every American. Mara Gay is a member of the New York Times editorial board, focusing on New York State and local affairs. The attacks on her today are ill-informed and grounded in bad-faith.īy the way, does the name Mara Gay sound familiar? It should if you follow politics. Her argument was that Trump and many of his supporters have politicized the American flag. New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay's comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context. Prominent Black voices hit NYT’s Mara Gay for playing ‘race card’ amid backlash over American flag comments 3 min read. The New York Times ran to Mara’s defense over this, claiming that people took her comments out of context. NYT/MSNBC’s In Long Island last weekend, I saw “dozens of American flags,” which was “just disturbing” /RhGdqqJope Her argument was that Trump and many of his supporters. When did Long Island become a conservative hotbed? Isn’t it safe to assume that some of those people on Long Island who fly American flags are Democrats? New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay’s comments on MSNBC have been irresponsibly taken out of context, the newspaper tweeted. I saw, you know, dozens and dozens of pickup trucks with explicatives against Joe Biden on the back of them, Trump flags, and in some cases just dozens of American flags, which is also just disturbing … Essentially the message was clear. “I was on Long Island this weekend visiting a really dear friend, and I was really disturbed. “I think that as long as they see Americanness as the same as one with Whiteness, this is going to continue,” Gay said, turning to race and adding that “Americanness” and “Whiteness” needed to be separated. So now he's only left with some rather vacuous defenses.The left-wing editorial board member for The New York Times was also distressed by what she called expletives on the trucks against President Biden, describing the flag-flying Trump supporters as sending a clear message: “This is my country … not your country. What's material is what Sussmann's intent was, and his intent has already been demonstrated by the evidence in the testimony. What the campaign intended is irrelevant.
I mean, Mook helped a little bit marginally by saying, well, we the campaign didn't put up Sussmann going to the FBI, to lie to them. That only helps you a little bit because the downside of hurting you tremendously is quite severe.
It's fundamental in trying cases, never call a witness to the stand. And it seemed so incredibly foolish for the defense of all people to have called Mook to the witness stand.
