So it's been 41 minutes now since @MattNegrin, a producer at the "Daily Show," called out Breitbart for calling him the host of "Hardball," a show that has been canceled for months. The site still has not fixed its mistake.
Don't worry, @BreitbartNews, I saved it for you!

This is the exact sort of unprofessionalism that I regularly encountered when I worked in conservative media. The Breitbart piece has other problems as well, chiefly that it uses an opinion essay to smear the Post's news operation. Full archive: archive.is/JxA69
I have no idea where they got the idea that Breitbart thought that Negrin hosted "Hardball." In the WaPo essay from him that it complains about, there's nothing on the page that says Negrin even works for NBC. Which, spoiler, he does not washingtonpost.com/outlook/2020/1…
Breitbart routinely makes these basic errors. The other day, it took them HOURS to put up a story about GSA head Emily Murphy and Trump allowing Biden access to transition funds. And they only did it after I called them out.

Lots of web writers and editors are paid shit salaries and expected to process a fire hose of content. I would be sympathetic to these mistakes ordinarily. But Breitbart is so vicious in having no standards for itself and very high standards for others. The hypocrisy is galling.
UPDATE: After I called out its hypocritical unprofessionalism, Breitbart has corrected another basic journalism error.
The article no longer claims that Negrin hosts "Hardball." Unsurprisingly, there's no correction notice.
You still can't trust the liberal media though!
