MSNBC’s big “Trump tax return” scoop has caused friction between the cable news network and parent NBC, according to insiders.
“[MSNBC] announced it on Twitter, and [NBC] found out when [the general public] did,” said a source.
“[MSNBC president] Phil Griffin was trying to undermine [NBC News president] Noah Oppenheim. There was never a conversation. They overplayed their hand in a huge way.”
Host Rachel Maddow teased the story on Twitter, then withheld the story till later in her program, revealing in a big anticlimax that Trump paid $38 million in taxes in 2005. “It’s their cable network, but it’s still NBC News. [NBC] did not appreciate being kept in the dark … To hype such a big story and not really deliver is a bit embarrassing. Airing a story you’ve hyped 20 minutes into your broadcast makes it a lot less of a ‘breaking news’ story.”(continued)

“football bat”
That’s a good one. She may morph into a basketball helmet
within a week.
I think she’s funny but, I was given an unlimited supply of sarcasm at birth and appreciate it executed well, even if I disagree with her...
Kinda like Camille Paglia. She is fascinating and hilarious.
She can play in the all-female remake as fonzarella on Happy Gays!
Why not do what NBC would have done? Just make something up that makes Trump look bad.
Madcow is imploding the same as Beck did at the beginning of the Obama presidency, and in the same way.
Camilie Paglia is very smart and very funny. I consider her an intellectually honest liberal. Rachel Maddow is the annoying girl in the 7th grade who had to prove she was smarter than everyone else.
I saw a funny tweet about this. This guy couldn’t believe how long she kept stringing everyone along....”When she started the show the Falcons were up 28 - 3.”
Madcow’s next scoop will be that she had a “reporter” dumpster diving at Trump Tower and retrieved evidence that Trump removed the “Do not remove” tags from his living room furniture.
Just Epic! Hahah
Trump needs to bring a lawsuit against NBC. I see that some on Fox News are going after NBC for all the crap they have pulled on Trump.
So, SNL will have a Madcow skit tomorrow night?
These filthy Comcast execs wouldn’t be bitching had Maddow succeeded in making Trump look bad.
The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat. Enabling, parent companies: Disney, Comcast, Time Warner.
Every decent citizen with a Comcast subscription should switch to a different provider.
Translation: NBC news would have seen that Trump paid a lot of taxes, destroying their narrative so they’d have spiked the story and buried the returns forever but stupid Rachel Maddow released the information. So they’re mad.
