Press freaks out over Donald Trump getting New Hampshire primary date wrong. (Screenshot, NBC News)
Journalists evidently chomping at the bit to slam Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump eagerly tweeted over and over...and over…about how Donald Trump mistakenly said that the Primary in New Hampshire was on February 8th instead of the 9th.
Trump says the crowd that the primaryy is on “February 8th? 9th?” “9th!” the crowd shouts.

Donald Trump does not know the date of the New Hampshire primary. He asks audience to go to the polls on February 8th (it’s the 9th)

A not-so-surprisingly partisan political reporter for Time Magazine, Zeke Miller, did NOT tweet about Trump’s evidently-horrifying mistake; however he did re-tweet other “journalists”:

Was Donald Trump’s mistake really THAT egregious?
Was it worse than this:
A 2008 Newsbusters article pointed out that the mainstream media all but “ignored” Obama’s comment about the 57 states
