There certainly is something “true” and “disturbing” about this clip and it isn’t that these two propagandists cannot do simple math but that they have the jobs they do at all. How do people so poor at math even graduate high school? But it is not their poor math skills that appall it is how they attempt to use their poor math and the FACT that they are unable to make the most obvious of observations – 500 million is not even a billion and every day they are broadcasting about how many billions Trump is spending or not spending. At the very same time as they are making fools of themselves they are condemning Trump for only asking for $2,5 billion to fight the virus and congress approving 8.5 billion. How stupid can you be? You do not know what words are coming out of your mouth which means you do not think and so you prove yourself to exactly what you are – a talking head. Just look at this idiocy. If I was this stupid I would never show my face again, these fools are too stupid to even be embarrassed.
“Bloomberg spent $500 million on ads. The U.S. population is 327 million. He could have given each American $1 million and still have money left over, I feel like a $1 million check would be life-changing for people. Yet he wasted it all on ads and STILL LOST,” Williams said in quoting a tweet by journalist Mekita Rivas.
“It’s an incredible way of putting it,” Williams concluded.
“It’s an incredible way of putting it. It’s true,” Gay added. “It’s disturbing.”

Brian Williams, NYT’s Gay criticized over math flub: ‘Saddest clip in TV history’
The blowback comes two days after Bloomberg dropped out of the 2020 presidential race. The billionaire had a dismal Super Tuesday showing that registered no wins in any of the 14 Super Tuesday states — although he did capture some delegates in the U.S. territory of American Samoa — despite spending more than $500 million on the race after jumping in last November.

Williams apologized on the air after the segment out of a commercial break in self-deprecating fashion.
