She can’t be serious! Maddow’s scapegoat...

She can’t be serious! Maddow’s scapegoat for Trump tax disaster is one for the ‘fake news’ record books

Maddow began a nearly two-hour promotion of her “breaking” news with an announcement on social media that “We’ve got Trump tax returns,” her tweet said. “(Seriously.)”

Network colleague Lawrence O’Donnell added that Maddow would be joining him on his own show immediately following hers to discuss “the night we’ve all been waiting for.”

When her show aired, she spent the first 20 minutes hyping it up, telling her viewers what Trump’s tax returns could prove, prompting occasional filmmaker Michael Moore to excitedly tweet, “Turn on Rachel @Maddow! MSNBC!”

While she continued to promote her “breaking” news on air, a clock in the background counted down the minutes until Maddow would make the big reveal.

When the time finally came for her to report her “breaking story,” it turned out to be a big, fat nothing-burger. Some might even call it, “fake news.”

***SNIP***

Nevertheless, Maddow wasn’t about to take any responsiblity for the colossal embarrassment and cowardly claimed that her viewers’ disappointment was their own fault — her own breathless hype notwithstanding.

“Because I have information about the president doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily a scandal,” she told The Associated Press. “It doesn’t mean that it’s damning information. If other people leapt to that conclusion without me indicating that it was, that hype is external to what we did.”

Really? Viewers took issue and didn’t hold back.

Heh, heh.

Yo, Libturds, feeling manipulated yet?

She is dumb, boring, two dimensional. The lefty hosts really never needed to develop any skills. She has absolutely none.

It’s a wonder the news department isn’t up for sale.

Here you have the lesbian Madcow waving President Trump’s 2005 two paged 1040 that proves he paid lots of money in taxes. To watch her ‘presentation’ on the internet is agonizing.

Then PMSNBC has Lawrence O’Donnell interviewing the Madcow and he’s a communist!

Maybe she can go on Fox News’ “Outnumbered” and sit in the “One Lucky Guy” chair...

HAHA, typical Maddow!

So, has she set herself up for a law suit?

I would love to hear that she is no longer “on the air” but being held in a jail cell somewhere in Siberia (Assuming Trump and the Russians are as friendly as the media tells us)

Nope and they never will because they see all with dimly lit rose-colored glasses, virtue signals and feelings... never will they tap into God given instincts or intuition. That would mean they were individuals and we all know that the libs are a mob, therefore work only from a mob mentality.

Did she just read this cold on the air without reviewing it first?

If I’m not mistaken, the same information was released by the White House just prior to Maddow’s show, if so it was public domain at that point.

Not necessarily. Some of the most strident Conservatives were once ardent Libturds.

Just to name a few; Andrew Breitbart, Walter E. Williams, Thomas Sowell,
