Mainstream media pundits are always giving us plenty of content for #TweetBeat, but it isn’t usually all from one network.

Thanks to MSNBC, today’s show will not only be easy- it will be hilarious.

Worst Tweet of the Day

Give it up for Joy Reid.

Here's the thing: the reason there's a thing called @FiveThirtyEight is because 538 was the margin in FL when the Republican SCOTUS reversed the 2000 election during a recount, making Dubya the president. That's the kind of margin where races can flip. That's not what's up now.

The responses to this very incorrect tweet are A+.

Please don’t ever delete this masterpiece of a tweet

FiveThirtyEight was named after the 538 electoral college votes. the margin of victory for Bush over Gore in Florida was 537 votes.

It's 538 because of the number of Electors in the electoral college. The margin in FL was 537 pic.twitter.com/cWjVl9X51z

This isn’t accurate. The margin in Florida was 537 votes (538 is the number of electoral college voters); the SCOTUS didn’t reverse the 2000 election (Bush always led in every count). https://t.co/oVREnnu6nT

You have to admire Joy Reid for being so confident in her completely incorrect, incoherent opinions. (538 is the total number of electoral votes) https://t.co/OrqdFjmtkr

Also on MSNBC…

This is crazy. He helped Biden draft his speech on Sat night, without disclosing that fact to the audience (or anyone?), then reacted to the speech live on the air as a paid MSNBC contributor. Let me guess- he liked it? https://t.co/XnZqprPUef

So “historian” Jon Meacham wrote Biden’s speech and then went on MSNBC and “analyzed” it without saying a word about the fact that he was the author. I believe his verdict on the speech was mostly positive! https://t.co/BH7sVhUgOg

Still amazing that Jon Meacham appeared on MSNBC Saturday evening to analyze the magnificence of Joe Biden's speech without disclosing that he helped write it.

“Have you congratulated Vice President Biden yet?”

Sen. Ron Johnson: “No."

“Why not?”

Constitutionally, Senators are obligated to congratulate the person who hasn't actually legally become the president-elect yet, or it's a coup or something pic.twitter.com/RFQB7x9aEW

I agree, and appreciate this tweet… but how do you reconcile it with the tweet you just put out yesterday? 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/bhtsjO0Tbo

If it weren’t for double standards– well, you know the rest.

So when Donald Trump said this 10 days ago it was an impossible lie, but now it’s totally legit?!?

The only thing more disgraceful than our media is our government bureaucracies… and how both were always weaponized against @realDonaldTrump and the Americans who support him. https://t.co/rXfSnj13AY
