"On Sunday we said MSNBC did not cover the Steinle verdict on Friday or Saturday at all," the tweet said. Fox News also issued a correction in the online version of Hegseth's story and deleted the tweets that promoted the article on Twitter. Hegseth's false claim about MSNBC was reported by Fox News online under the headline "'0 Minutes': MSNBC Ignores Kate Steinle Trial Verdict." MSNBC covered the Steinle verdict on Friday, as well as on Thursday's episode of "Hardball" soon after the news first broke. During a Friday morning segment on "First Look," MSNBC reported on the verdict and President Trump's reaction to it.
