"When right-wing conspiracy theorist Mike Cernovich put an 8-year-old tweet from MSNBC contributor Sam Seder on blast last month, falsely claiming it was an endorsement of child rape, he bemoaned that the mainstream media would ignore his discovery.
But, perhaps to Cernovich’s surprise, it didn’t.
When MSNBC caught wind of the scandal Cernovich was attempting to incite, the cable news network decided to sever ties with Seder, who has regularly appeared on the network’s shows for over a decade and hosts the podcast “The Majority Report.”
That decision by MSNBC, which has been shedding much of its progressive image since Donald Trump entered the White House, is proving to be a much bigger controversy than the one provoked by Cernovich.
The Seder tweet at the center of Cernovich’s smear campaign reads: “Dont care re Polanski, but i hope if my daughter is ever raped it is by an older truly talented man w/ a great sense of mise en scene.” Seder has since explained that the 2009 tweet was written in the context of a petition in support of director and convicted child rapist Roman Polanski being circulated around Hollywood."
