MSNBC's Rachel Maddow Falls for FAKE Story About Conservatives & Sarah Palin

(By Jonathon M. Seidl, Mediaite) - Google is a brilliant invention. And it’s popular. In fact, it’s even become a verb. You now “Google” something. But, apparently, not if you’re Rachel Maddow, who slammed conservatives for a fake story calling for a Palin-led American invasion into Egypt on the website Christwire.org. But Christwire.org isn’t a real news site — it’s a satirical one littered with fake stories.

The story, “As Egypt Descends in Chaos, Should Sarah Palin Support a US-Led Invasion?”, drew the ire of Maddow on last night’s program, as she used it to mock conservatives such as Palin for their far-out ideas:

(Breitbart.tv) - In their zeal to slam Sarah Palin, Christians and conservatives, MSNBC and Rachel Maddow reported a story from a satire website called ChristWire.org. It doesn't take too much research to discover that the site is like "The Onion" and everything on it is a lampoon-style story.

MSNBC has scrubbed the segment from their website.
