Guest shiloh357 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Rachel Maddow misled the Twittersphere into thinking she had a bombshell revelation about the president’s 2005 tax returns; however, the tax return showed no wrongdoing at all by Trump — and the MNSBC host's plunging ratings have reflected viewers’ discontent with her deception. http://www.lifezette.com/referral/maddow-ratings-sink-trump-tax-ploy/?utm_content=buffer39366&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook.com&utm_campaign=laura_ingraham_buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is also what one would call fake news in that it only tells a small, biased part of the story. The day she ran her flop of a story about the tax return was a record setting day for her, it was her largest audience ever, but a large margin. No matter what the tax returns showed, she was going to have a massive ratings drop the next day as she, as she didn't have anything special going on. A legitimate, honest news source would have compared her ratings not from one day to the next but from the previous Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And polls differ based on who is asked and how the questions are framed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a legal loophole there; she didn't obtain the documents by illegal means. It's really a gray area. I think the law does need to find out who actually stole them and prosecute them.

I mean, if you had good reason to believe that the documents were obtained illegally in the first place, and you release them, aren't you kind of complicit with the person who got them illegally? If it was illegal to obtain them, then revealing them publicly would seem to have some legal liabilities attached to it. Shouldn't she, as a journalist, be responsible for making sure they were legally obtained? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
