The fact people say she blew her credibility when the narrative of the show actually was an acknowledgement and talk about how "the source" for the information wanted it out. Her build up was like a primer to all the connections that took place, and then when she droped she didn't present as a smoking gun gotcha, she and the reported talked about how this may have been an attempt by the admin to placate tax demamnders due to how little info or substance was available.
I mean I get it, some people don't want a nice informed session of tv that informs their viewer. I'm sure you guys enjoy CNN having both sides arguments for the umpteenth time. No waiting for the point there even when they end up just missing it!
100% agree. Here's how the 2005 Tax "Fiasco" went down:
Maddow tweeted: "I have Trump's tax return"
Internet went crazy with unwarranted expectation and speculation that NOW we can NAIL Trump.
An Hour Later Maddow Tweets: "I have Trump's 2005 Tax Returns"
Internet feels like they are lied to or mislead, despite Maddow not lying and clarifying and specifying an hour after the original announcement.
Show airs, and Trump's 2005 Tax Returns are PROPERLY REPORTED with context, insights, and educational value to the viewers.
Internet overreacts and thinks Maddow got played and creates a "fiasco" out of thin fuckin air and overblown expectations.
And somehow this affects Maddow's credibility? HOW?!
