Analysis of recent statements made by msnbc News anchors and journalists shows that the liberal news network is determined to stoke fears about gun.

Less than half the “facts” broadcast on msnbc are even partially accurate according to an ongoing analysis by an independent fact-checking project.

Some recent lies told by on-air personalities and guests seem designed to stoke fears over the safety of guns living in the United States and to spread untruths about American support for immigration.

Politifact a joint project by the Tampa Bay Times and media analysts offers “scorecards” on the accuracy of the TV networks andmajor TV personalities.

the Punditfact scorecard for msnbc shows that just 12 percent of statements made on the network have been “True” since the project began in 2014. Even generously including the 19 percent of statements deemed “Half True” reveals that just 41 percent of msnbc News statements can be deemed “true” to some degree
