MSNBC’s Brian Williams and the New York Times’ Mara Gay teamed up this week to create some bad TV, insisting that former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg could’ve given every American a million dollars with the $500 million he spent on his presidential campaign.

Host Amber Athey also talks about the media’s reaction to former Vice President Joe Biden’s aggressive encounter with an auto worker in Michigan. Biden came across like a drunk uncle, but he received praise from journalists who will do anything to cover for him.
