MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” received a healthy dose of reality Thursday during its coverage of former President Donald Trump’s immunity case.
NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian was explaining the latest developments of Trump’s presidential immunity case in the front of the Supreme Court when a heckler disrupted the segment by repeatedly shouting, “fake news!”

As Dilanian continued his report about the complexities of the legal proceedings, the heckler continued to persistently cry out “fake news.”
Co-host Mika Brzezinski said, “Just making sure you’re okay. Do you need…is everything okay? We hear someone yelling.”
“It’s fine. We have a heckler here outside this morning,” Dilanian remarked.
Host Joe Scarborough put his signature political spin on the incident, claiming the heckler was actually shouting about Trump’s “lies” about Hillary Clinton and “all of his opponents.”
“We want to make sure you’re okay, but also we want everybody watching to know that that person screaming ‘fake news’ is obviously talking about all the lies that Donald Trump perpetrated about Hillary Clinton and all of his opponents in 2020. Go ahead,” Scarborough concluded, directing Dilanian to continue his coverage.
Talk about proving the heckler’s point!
The internet lauded the “Fake News guy” for calling out the dishonest corporate media.
Fake News guy is awesome! We need everyone to do this anytime you see these talking heads.
