MSNBC’s “breaking” coverage of the fire at South Carolina Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein’s residence follows the network’s familiar pattern of misleading spin.Former Obama DOJ official Mary McCord implied that speculation points toward a right-wing arsonist.Yet the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) stated plainly:“At this time, there is no evidence to indicate the fire was intentionally set,”with preliminary findings showing no explosion prior to the blaze.MSNBC’s segment ignored these critical facts. Notably, Judge Goodstein had recently blocked a Trump DOJ request for South Carolina voter data.By omitting SLED’s findings, MSNBC once again prioritizes partisan framing over factual reporting and accountability.#media #journalism #usa #accountability #truth
