She cant be serious! Maddows 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 Weve got Trump tax returns, her tweet said. (Seriously.)
Network colleague Lawrence ODonnell added that Maddow would be joining him on his own show immediately following hers to discuss the night weve all been waiting for.
When her show aired, she spent the first 20 minutes hyping it up, telling her viewers what Trumps 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 wasnt 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 doesnt mean that its necessarily a scandal, she told The Associated Press. It doesnt mean that its 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 didnt hold back.
There’s something so ugly about this story. They are like wolves baying for the blood of innocent animals.
Telling everyone on tv that she is displaying personal information. The fact that it’s about a Republican doesn’t change anything.
Does she get a free pass for being a carpet muncher?
Both of her viewers would agree with you!!!
I guess its like that when you live in a dream world of your own making and which exists ONLY between your ears and ONLY as you conceived it. Whatever it is it aint the REAL world. Theres certainly a pathology going on there.

Her “job” is to promote leftism.
Leftism mission is to force itself on the majority (because the majority are not dyed in the wool leftist) of the population.
Man Hands Mad Cow!
Again!
Man Hands Mad Cow!
(Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it?...:)
Felonies were committed in obtaining President Trump’s 2005 tax return.
Paging Jeff Sessions! And please don’t recuse yourself this time, Mr. Sessions.
That's what it looked like. She seemed surprised and disappointed at the amount he paid. But I find it very hard to believe that anyone would be so stupid, reckless and unprofessional. Even her!
Clearly they all left the party before the kool-aid was served.
Poor Kool-Aid gets a bad rap. Those Jonestowners drank some sort of fruit punch, but it wasn’t Kool-Aid.
LOL! But they could not use “fruit”, as that would disparage so many of their voters.
I got a feeling she didn’t actually see the two pages until Johnson handed them to her right before they came back from a commercial break. They were Just too “hot” for Johnson to let them out of his hands. She had to have gone all “Hillary” on his ass as soon as the cameras were off.
“Just because we devoted an entire 2-hour special to Al Capone’s vault and hyped it like crazy doesn’t mean there’s actually going to be anything in it. Suckers!!”
Hahaha I see a vacation in the near future for Madcow. Just like Meagain Kelly had to take once Trump got done thrashing her over on Fox.
Given the WH reaction when asked, I believe if you follow the leak ALL the way to the real source, you will find...TRUMP.
Evil genius is right.
That pic is priceless!
Well, he has stated unequivocally that he doesn't know how she got them (and I believe him) but I strongly suspect that a Trump supporter is behind this somehow. It was a perfect burn!
And they still claim they are unbiased.
