  1. When they were discussing insinuations being made about presidential candidates' health, and Meghan snidely said that it had been done to Michele Bachmann by Chris Cillizza, I wondered what that was about, so I googled it, and came across a column of his in the Washington Post from 7/20/11 entitled "Michele Bachmann's Headaches".

    He quoted articles from the New York Times and Politico published that same day that were about Bachmann suffering from migraines.

    Her staff didn't deny that she had migraines, but said they didn't affect her job performance.  Former staff members disagreed, and said that they could be debilitating, and had caused her to miss votes and other events.

    First, this is different than making up poor health claims out of whole cloth.  Second, Meghan made it sound like Chris Cillizza had been the one solely responsible for bringing this issue to the public's attention.

    I remember reading here that Meghan responded to someone on Twitter who criticized her for not getting her facts straight that she wasn't a journalist.  That should have nothing to do with being accurate.  Almost all of the hosts get things wrong here and there, usually through carelessness, unfortunately, but Meghan seems like she just wants to score points for her side; if the facts aren't there, she doesn't care.

  2. I'm pretty sure Meghan was dissing Nicolle Wallace when she mentioned seeing someone ask Beto O'Rourke how the media could cover him better, and that she thought it was a ridiculous question. 

    Beto was on Nicolle's show in the last week or two, and I do think she asked him that.  I'm surprised Meghan watches it, quite frankly.  Only in her dreams could she anchor a show solo with the ease that Nicolle does.
