Brian Williams, NY Times editor ridiculed for getting Bloomberg math breakdown very, very wrong
If someone had simply stopped and double-checked some math, they might have saved MSNBC's Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay some embarrassment and an apology Thursday night.
Instead, both Williams and Gay marveled on air in reaction to a Twitter user's post about Mike Bloomberg's campaign spending.
Trouble is, the post had gotten the math all wrong, yet neither Williams nor Gay seemed to notice.

Anyone can make a mistake, but this is a real whopper! And two people at once, neither of them figured it out. And it seems like Williams saw this before, so it's not like it was just put before him. That and the fact that it never occurred to them that giving $1 million to EVERY American didn't seem quite right. Well, we know Williams has a little problem with reality. But, wow.

They corrected themselves at the end of the segment, but Fox News didn't mention that part.

Whatever. The fact that there were two people and neither had a clue is the amazing part.
And how are you enjoying Trump's "amazing" knowledge about the Coronavirus?

"The 11th Hour" eventually pointed out the mistake on social media.
“Tonight on the air we quoted a tweet that relied on bad math. We corrected the error after the next commercial break and have removed it from later editions of tonight’s program. We apologize for the error,” the verified Twittter account for Williams’ show wrote after the gaffe.
Another excellent example of why I am most skeptical of the statements of the MSM.
