Quotes 

• Candy Crowley : Jack Hastings, Deerlaken... did the media fall for a false narrative just because it fit into our preconceived notion of the divide of this country between red and blue without actually checking the facts? Were we irresponsible?

  MSNBC Anchor : Well, we're the news. Are we not supposed to cover the news?

  The Anchors Brooke : I mean, these are newsworthy stories. We're absolutely in the right to cover them.

  MSNBC Reporter : It is literally our job to cover the news.

  Candy Crowley : But isn't there a way to report the news without so much speculation, without a false sense of urgency that causes us to breathlessly report "facts" that maybe are not facts? And are we framing these stories on an artificial right-left axis because that's how our pundit economy is set up? Is there a better way to do this?

  [protracted pause] 

  Candy Crowley : I'm just kidding. Unfortunately, we have to leave it there.
