A 4Chan user has taken credit for the hoax which lead to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell issuing an apology on air on Wednesday evening.
O’Donnell had reported, based on one single source, that Russian oligarchs had co-signed Donald Trump’s loans from Deutsche Bank in 1998, which was a lie.
“Deutsche Bank is in possession of loan documents that show Donald Trump has obtained loans with co-signers and that he would not have been able to obtain those loans without co-signers,” O’Donnell had said, adding, “The source close to Deutsche Bank says that the co-signers of Donald Trump’s Deutsche Bank loans are Russian billionaires close to Vladimir Putin.”
In a 4Chan post claiming credit for the hoax, an anonymous user wrote, “here to claim my prize. It’s easy to send an annoymous tip to a a trump hating new organization and watch them report it with no fact checking. I send the attached email to Lawrence O’Donnell yesterday and he reported it!!! I didn’t think it would work but the bait was too juicy. Now he is disgraced and discredited. All nbc email addresses are first.last@nbcuni.com. They are begging for tips so I sent one!!,” they added, “Hi Ben Collins! Hi Hilary!”

“Now he is disgraced and discredited.”
That happened a long time ago, but it hasn’t stopped news organizations from hiring him.
Confirmation bias strikes again. Orange man bad!!!
Baba Booey!
Too good to be true?
Probably!
I can’t stop myself.
Help!!!
My mouth is opening. I can’t stop the words!
Ahhhhh
-O’Donnell
Surprised Trump has not had a tweet storm blasting fake news MSNBC. Someone should ask Bill Gates if he is proud to have Microsoft ( the MS) associated with this propaganda entity.
Sounds like something BG would be proud of.
Less than half an hour ago...
Our domestic enemies are campaigning HARD for Trump’s re-election.
we ARE the media.
All that beard-stroking, poofy-chair philosophizing by those idiots in the leather-elbow blazers, carrying on about objectivity and research:
ALL LIES.
They’re the procrastinating middle-school boy the night before the big science fair, who plagiarizes it all in an hour.
“Emily O’Donnell” is his name from here on as far as I’m concerned. “Never mind”.
4chan also claimed they were behind the pee story. Sent to the guy because of his son. Can’t remember the details
“...Lamestream Media...”. I KNEW it! Trump is a freeper.
Hmmm. Maybe time to bombard fake news with all sorts of anonymous tips and leads. Let them do their damn job for once and investigate and verify as once upon a time they did. Score=Good guys-1 Fake news - zip.
The fun is just beginning, there is a lawsuit coming. I hope it is a big hit in their pocket.
MSLSD needs the blue screen of death.
At minimum it will keep their legal department hopping.
Or Barron.
