Topic: Fishing Ban

MSNBC's Rachel Maddow and correspondent Kent Jones are criticized for their "debunking" of a story regarding a potential federal ban on recreational fishing. The hosts parse the response from NOAA Chief Jane Lubchenco, noting her use of the phrase "blanket ban" as a weasel word that leaves room for localized restrictions. They argue that while the original ESPN blog post may have had errors, the government's intent to control water rights remains a concern.
