Oh, FFS. This is why you don’t platform Nazis like this. He’s willing to say the craziest shit he knows isn’t true, and he’ll not get meaningfully fact-checked by the sputtering, impotent host - and even if he were fact-checked, he’ll still have succeeded in controlling the narrative and getting his insane accusations aired on MSNBC.
Plus, fact-checking, even if done effectively (i.e. not like it was done here), completely fails to even address the strategy employed by people like Miller. MSNBC has brought him on to discuss a topic, but that’s not why he’s there - he’s there to get his set of lies aired. His whole presence on the show is disingenuous, and he’s willing to shamelessly throw out insane accusations and talking points that have nothing to do with the subject at hand, so even if the host does fact check him, that still necessarily means that Miller has successfully hijacked the conversation, and now they’re talking about what he wanted.
