Why the #FakeNews media think that Democrat policies are affordable

On MSNBC Brian Williams and NYT Editorial Board Member Mara Gay showed that they can't do grade school math.

They read a tweet that said that Bloomberg spent $500M on ads and that because the US population is 327 million  that meant that Bloomberg could have given every American $1M.

They were bothered by that. Not because the math was off by about a factor of a 653,594 but because they though it was true.

MSNBC’s Brian Williams reads a tweet: "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million"

NYT Editorial Board Member Mara Gay: “It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true. It’s disturbing”

500/327 = 1.53 not 1,000,000.

This explains why the #FakeNews media has no problem with all the Democrat's massive spending plans; reporters simply are so math illiterate that they don't understand just how much money that we don't have that Democrat politicians want to spend.

It's like a guy on welfare buying a $100,000 car because he thinks it costs 15 cents.
