Maddow blames viewers for expecting too much

The best part is the dipshit Ritchie gave too much info in the tease, allowing Trump to scoop her story.

Not often MSDNC gets to run their "Breaking: Old News" banner on screen during a report.
 
Maddow drove Trump into releasing something he said he would not release.

She owns Trump.

So you as a viewer are to blame, and NOT the way she set the story up.



Maddow: People disappointed by Trump story expected too much





NEW YORK (AP) — Rachel Maddow says that if people felt let down by her story about President Donald Trump's 2005 tax document it's more because of the weight of expectation than anything she did.

The MSNBC host found herself in the odd position Wednesday of defending herself from criticism following one of the biggest-ever scoops for her show. Maddow's show revealed, through reporter David Cay Johnston, two pages of tax return information that showed Trump earned $150 million in 2005 and paid $38 million in income taxes that year. Trump has steadfastly refused to release his tax returns.

Maddow's tweet less than 90 minutes before her show that "we've got Trump's tax returns" set off a social media frenzy. Although a subsequent tweet specified it was only two pages from one year's returns, expectations were sky high.

Maddow told the AP that she never misrepresented what she had.

"Because I have information about the president doesn't mean that it's necessarily a scandal," she said. "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."

Her story was derided as "a big nothingburger" by Fox News Channel's Steve Doocy on Wednesday. There were unflattering comparisons to Geraldo Rivera's opening of Al Capone's vault, television shorthand for an anticipated event that doesn't meet expectations. The White House's pre-emptive step of issuing a statement with Trump's income and estimated taxes for that year before Maddow's show started also took air out of the story.

I hope everyone that watched that ridiculous show paid attention to what she said leading up to the finale. Everything she said was the reason for demanding tax returns is what Obama and the Clintons are suspected of doing. Yet a tax return that a dishonest taxpayer fills out will reveal nothing that she claims. It's utterly retarded that she thinks criminals inform the IRS of their malfeasance on their 1040 long form.
 
Maddow made Trump give up something he said he would not.

Tough beans, you collective sunbeams, out there. :)

Most of Maddow's viewers are far more sentient than any Alt Right or Far Right board member, y es.
Alt left lunacy at work here.
From a serious Trump hater on Man-brow:
"So why am I fine with Maddow’s tax-story grandstanding? Oh, I could do without the maddening community theater dramatics she brings to every show—the eye-rolling, the sarcasm, the faux earnestness, the annoyingly conversational style that assumes that you’re a passenger on her news bus. But there’s a long sensationalist tradition in American journalism of using a 400-ton metal stamping machine to extract every drop of juice out of an important scoop, then grinding the remaining pulp and feeding those tailings to the audience."
 
If she did, she's stupider than we thought, because she made Trump look really good with the results of this tax return.
 
Alt Right howling and screaming reveal just how much Maddow embarassed Trump.

Good thing.
