Based on this, I’d say math is probably not included in journalism school.

MSNBC's Brian Williams, NYT's Mara Gay Agree Bloomberg Could Have Given Each American $1 Million With Money He Spent
Thursday on MSNBC's "The Eleventh Hour" with Brian Williams, New York Times Editorial Board Member Mara Gay and the host accepted without question a tweet that (jokingly) said that Michael Bloomberg could have given every American one million dollars with the five hundred million dollars he spent on his short-lived presidential campaign.
(In reality, $500 million divided by 327 million Americans is about $1.53 per person.)
"When I read it tonight on social media, it kind of all became clear," Williams said.
The tweet read: "Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. Population, 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and have had lunch money left over."
"It’s an incredible way of putting it," Williams said.
"It’s an incredible way of putting it," Gay said. "It’s true. It’s disturbing."
The twitter user they cited has since made their account private, after perhaps the most successful instance of trolling public figures in positions of authority in history.
“We’re in the money!/ we’re in the money!/ we got a lot of what it takes to get along!’’.
That’s Great :)
Bro, 500 million bucks. There’s 300 plus million people.
A buck and change.
He didn’t have to be exact.
A buck and change.
I thought they had people in his ear SCREAMING if he screwed up big. i guess not :)
Like those 1980s cheapo Air Force-Army Exchange type donuts, that tasted like they were 12 days old and had glaze that stuck to the roof of your mouth.
Maybe they were taking into account the 170,000,000 Americans killed by guns in the past decade. No, that still wouldn’t get us to a million dollars.
Gotta love Brian Williams. It’s amazing a guy who looks like he’s always in the middle of a difficult bowel movement could produce that ridiculously hot actress daughter of his. Of course, Brian will tell you how hot she is. He boasted of his watching her sex scenes on tv and how proud he was of her. Good ole Brian Williams.
"Thinking here…. 150 million gun violence deaths leads me to believe Joe Biden tutored her in math."
ROFL!!
Now I’m in the mood for donuts :)
but not the cheapest ones on earth!!!
LOL..........
Oh, I remember some years ago, the “Main Stream Media” had a field day making fun of VP Dan Quayle spelling “potato-e.”
They put it on a loop and showed it over and over, every fifteen minutes or so.
They thought Quayle was dumb?

that’s disgusting :)
I just tweeted mara. She was tweeting some blather about racism and another yoot who was about to turn his life around when cops shot him 1500 times in the back while he was tutoring an orphan before going to church..
I asked her what she’s doing with her 1 million :)
The New Math being utilized at its best.
Mr. Williams emigrated from Canada. He should return quickly.
This is insight into why liberals believe so much can be given out for free. “Healthcare won’t cost that much!,” their reasoning goes. “For $500 million, we can give every person $1 million worth of healthcare per year and still have money left over to pay off student loans debt!” How many people at the NYT or MSNBC heard these numbers and agreed with her?
If Bloomberg gave away all his 60 billion, each American would get a check for 184 dollars.
Do not question their math. They are the party of science. /s
