This is what happens when you give a progressive lesbian with a (useless) philosophy degree her own show on politics...
VIDEO- Sounds damning right? But it’s not.
According to the Wisconsin division of PolitiFact, Maddow didn’t read the fine print:
Earlier this month, PolitiFact — the fact-check website run by the St. Petersburgh Times — deemed claims Rachel Maddow made about Fox News “false.” Well, it seems Maddow is at again, and this time, PolitiFact is crying foul over bold claims made about Wisconsin’s budget numbers, mainly that there is no budget deficit.
On Thursday, Maddow spent a chunk of her show advancing the popular, liberal rumor that Wisconsin is not facing a budget deficit this year, but rather a budget surplus. The governor’s recent emergency budget bill — which strips unions of much bargaining power — is then simply an “assault” on hard-working people. Maddow, and others, point to an independent report authored by Robert Lang and Wisconsin’s nonpartisan Legislative Fiscal Bureau: READ MORE...
(Sorry if we ruined your appetite..)
NOTE- Maddow also lied about Police and Fireman supporting the republican governor. She has no evidence to support that claim and while some of the union bosses themselves may have backed the governor, or recommended it's members vote for the governor, not every fireman and cop voted for the republican governor.
"Despite what you may have heard about Wisconsin’s finances, the state is on track to have a budget surplus this year."
