"Author Douglas Murray has blasted MSNBC over its exclusive interview with Vice President Kamala Harris. "Ms Harris sat down with MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle for a wide-ranging interview where the Vice President stressed she would raise corporate taxes if elected. "Mr Murray said the interview showed why the Democrat nominee does not put herself in front of the media. " 'I just think this is this is an example of the fact that everyone should demand that any candidate for the most important office in the land has to be questioned,” Mr Murray told Sky News host Rita Panahi. " '“This is why they have to be questioned but of course she gets the light barely scratching the surface questions from a court journalist who is not there to question her but to help her. " ''That's just the rottenness in the media right there.”

MSNBC's parent company NBCUniversal is going to trial after being sued for defamation by Dr. Mahendra Amin for $30 million.
"Amin worked as a gynecologist at a Georgia Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility, where he treated women being detained. Judge Lisa Godbey Wood of the Southern District of Georgia found in her ruling that Rachel Maddow, Nicolle Wallace and Chris Hayes made multiple "verifiably false" allegations about Amin.
"A nurse at the facility, Dawn Wooten, alleged Amin was performing "mass hysterectomies" and that he was known as the "uterus collector." The Washington Free Beacon reported her claims were based on hearsay and have been proven false.
"The discovery process of the lawsuit shows how MSNBC and NBC journalists and executives had concerns over the authenticity of Wooten's claims, but chose to move forward with their coverage anyway.
"NBCUniversal's deputy director of standards Chris Scholl said to Hayes in a conference call that Wooten "has no direct knowledge of this stuff "and that Amin "has a pretty clean record."
"While Hayes said he initially "discounted the whole thing," he interviewed Wooten on his show, titling the segment, "ICE whistleblower speaks out, alleges mass hysterectomies performed on migrant women."
"Maddow ran her own coverage of Amin on her show. "The nurse says she and her fellow nurses, quote, questioned among ourselves, like, goodness, he’s taking everybody’s stuff out, that’s his specialty, he’s the uterus collector … He’s taking all their uteruses out or he’s taking their tubes out." . . .
