'Bloomberg could have given every American $1 million' - Liberal media math exposed in stunning interview

They're not sending their best. During a Thursday discussion over the amount of money Mike Bloomberg has spent on advertising during the 2020 election - some $500 million, MSNBC's Brian Williams and New York Times editorial board member Mara Gay promoted a Twitter user's very incorrect math. (Article by Tyler Durden republished from ZeroHedge.com) "Somebody tweeted recently that actually with the money he spent he could have given every American $1 million," said Gay. "I've got it, let's put it up on the screen," replies Williams. "When I read it tonight on social media it kind of all became clear," added the MSNBC host, who then reads the actual (now-deleted) tweet. "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over," Williams read.

Keep in mind - Williams and Gay obviously don't understand math. But that tweet made it all the way through MSNBC's editorial process - and was made into an in-show graphic. And none of them caught the obvious error. https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1235950333680947200?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1235950333680947200&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.zerohedge.com%2Fpolitical%2Fliberal-math-msnbcs-brian-williams-ny-times-editor-think-bloomberg-could-have-given-every
The author of the original tweet has set her account to private. Her bio now reads "I know, I'm bad at math."
