HE SEES *FURTHER*, PLAYS ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL

It wouldn’t be fair to call her Tuesday night show the TV flop seen ’round the world. It was worse than that. Much worse.
It was a gut-punch embarrassment to Maddow, to MSNBC, to NBC and to all the lefties who bought her afternoon tweet that “We’ve got Trump tax returns.” Were she selling stocks, she’d be busted for running a pump-and-dump scam.
Her scoop, courtesy of journalist David Cay Johnston, was two pages from Trump’s 2005 federal return. It showed income of $153 million, and a tax payment of $38 million.
Imagine what was going on with Maddow’s producers and staff. Did anyone dare say to her that we have a problem, that the tax return you’re boasting of actually shows Trump to be a billionaire who pays his fair share?
That’s not what anybody wanted. They came to bury Trump, not to praise him. And so they tried, and failed.

After Trump said they are looking into suing...NBC claims they didn’t know anything about this ahead of time... and are outraged.
Then she has the gall to blame her failure on her audience.
Who issued that statement? Brian Williams?
“After Trump said they are looking into suing...NBC claims they didn’t know anything about this ahead of time... and are outraged.”
Right, after they advertised this thing almost the whole day.
This was the greatest Fizzle since Gerardo Rivera opened “ Al Capone’s safe” in the early 1980s. I was howling with laughter as I watched the communist butch bicth scar her worthless self for life as a baffoon!!
You probably mean MSNBC
I am talking the head guy at NBC
Saw a thread tonight on it.

ANOTHER leftist Wile E. Coyote moment. Love it.
Maybe she could redeem herself and her network if she were to obtain Trump’s drivers license.
“not very bright” does’t she have a pretty good resume to say otherwise?
Not that I agree with her or ever watch her but there are plenty of people who are considered “bright” who end up being dead wrong. Even me sometimes.
She’s searching for Trump’s Russian birth certificate.
OMG! That is HILAROUS!
No wonder they hate Trump....he didn’t feed them. LOLOL
or a deep cover agent of Roger Stone.
Maddow nor NBC had any concerns if it would be a go or backfire....’the game was ratings’ and she did take the night for viewership...especially after pumping everyone up all day for her “flat” news.
IMO Maddow and NBC saw how it played out for Kelly vs. Trump....and soooooooo...worth the risk to get the ratings and make the story about Maddow vs Trump more than the issue of tax’s. ..and the viewership showed up!
No it did not - she destroyed her competition in ratings...
Or Trumps Library Card...
Colbert did a parody of Maddow’s “scoop” that was actually a bit funny (for once).
