BUSTED! Rachel Maddow Caught Pushing Fake News About Trump & Tesla

If Rachel Maddow says it, assume it’s false until proven otherwise. That’s a rule of thumb that would have saved left-wing media from their latest embarrassing meltdown.
Last week, MSNBC, The New York Times, and other liberal propaganda outlets pushed a totally false story claiming President Donald Trump was handing Elon Musk’s Tesla a $400 million contract for “armored Teslas.” Maddow, in her typical breathless hysteria, even suggested the deal was “illegal” or “profoundly corrupt.”
The only problem? It wasn’t true. At all.
The rumor appears to have started from a random left-wing site called DropSite, and, like good little journalists, MSNBC and the Times ran with it—without fact-checking. Meanwhile, Musk himself seemed bewildered by the claim, writing, “I’m pretty sure Tesla isn’t getting $400M. No one mentioned it to me, at least.”
And then came the real kicker: The interest in armored Cybertrucks didn’t even come from Trump’s White House. It came from Joe Biden’s administration. The State Department confirmed the idea was floated in 2024 as part of Biden’s push for government agencies to buy electric vehicles. The Trump team, meanwhile, stated the deal wasn’t even active.
MSNBC and The New York Times have limitless resources to verify stories before they spread them, but they didn’t bother. Why? Because the truth wouldn’t have fed their anti-Trump narrative.
If they had an ounce of journalistic integrity, they’d issue corrections. But we all know better than to hold our breath.

Maddox is one of the worst examples of fake news which is why their ratings continue to go down & will continue to do so. BUt, they learn nothing just as the demos still do NOT know why they lost the 2024 election.
