The media do some serious journalisming.

Kirsten Gillibrand drops out of the presidential race,

but says she's not going to, but says she will,

so she can take all the positions.

And AOC also announces that young people

are incredibly historically knowledgeable.

I bet you didn't know that.

I'm Ben Shapiro.

This is the Ben Shapiro show.

So remember that time, like 48 hours ago ago when the entire media were up in arms because President Trump keeps saying that they're fake news and the right won't trust them and why won't

you trust us? We are just trying to do our jobs. You're attacking the free press. And then they just

say stuff that's not true and it gets real awkward. Within the last

36 hours, Lawrence O'Donnell over at MSNBC, stated on Rachel Maddow's show that he had an

insider over at Deutsche Bank. And this insider over at Deutsche Bank had insidery information.

And that insidering information was that President Trump had Russian co-signers. And this trended on Twitter, Russian co-signers. President Trump was a traitor. He was going to prison. He had lied.

I'm just going to point out that a bevy of blue check marks ran with the story because they wanted it to be true. Here's Lawrence O'Donnell walking this thing back after just kind of spilling it out on Rachel Maddow. Last night on this show, I discussed information that wasn't

ready for reporting. I repeated statements, a single source told me about the president's

finances and loan documents with Deutsche Bank. I should not have said it on air or posted it on

Twitter. I was wrong to do so. This afternoon, attorneys

for the president sent us a letter asserting the story is false. They also demanded a retraction.

Tonight we are retracting the story. We don't know whether the information is inaccurate,

but the fact is we do know. It wasn't ready for broadcast. And for that,

I apologize. Okay, so basically what he's saying there is that it sounds like MSNBC and
