Rachel Maddow Scores Own Goal With Trump Tax Return Scoop

Trump Tax returns Reveal Trump paid $38 Million in Taxes on $150 million in Income in 2015

Rachel Maddow of MSNBC thought she had the scoop of a life time. She had scored a copy of Donald Trump’s 2005 Form 1040. Ms. Maddow took to twitter last night announcing that she would reveal Donald Trump Tax returns at 9pm that evening. Prior to her show airing the White House released Mr. Trump’s tax information showing that he paid $38 million in taxes in 2005 on income of $150 million, along with a statement:

“You know you are desperate for ratings when you are willing to violate the law to push a story about two pages of tax returns from over a decade ago. … Mr. Trump paid $38 million dollars even after taking into account large scale depreciation for construction, on an income of more than $150 million dollars, as well as paying tens of millions of dollars in other taxes such as sales and excise taxes and employment taxes and this illegally published return proves just that. Despite this substantial income figure and tax paid, it is totally illegal to steal and publish tax returns. The dishonest media can continue to make this part of their agenda, while the President will focus on his, which includes tax reform that will benefit all Americans.”

After babbling for about twenty minutes on the importance of releasing tax returns, Rachel Maddow finally revealed what she had been hyping and the White House already released, the President’s 2005 1040 and the details previously released by the White House.

The mainstream media is determined to take down Donald Trump with “the Russians did it” charges.

The mainstream media has also made incessant demands that Mr. Trump release his tax returns with the hopes that his tax information might reveal, as Hillary Clinton and others have speculated, that he has not been paying taxes or has financial ties to Russia.

In one fell scoop, Ms Maddow laid to rest those claims with a spectacular own goal disproving these suspicions. Not only has Donald Trump paid his taxes as the 2005 1040 shows, but that he paid them at a higher rate than MSNBC owner Comcast (24%), former President Obama (19%) and Bernie “Trump must pay his fair share” Sanders (13%).

Don Lemon Ends Segment Abrupty When Guest Calls it “Fake News”

The concept of “fake news” was invented by the main stream media in order to silence alternative media. Coupled with accusations of Russians the term fake news was intended to shut down free speech.

The NY Times used the term fake news over 100 times in December 2016 to raise awareness of the threat it posed to “our democracy”. The main stream media companies made arrangements with social media platforms to help stamp out fake news. Hillary Clinton also joined the fight against fake news.

The Washington Post publicized a list of fake news web sites that they cited as also having Russian ties. That set off counter charges by alternative media outlets calling main stream media outlets as purveying fake news.

THEN Donald Trump called out CNN as fake news and then doubled down and called CNN very fake news. The term “fake news” has stuck more to the main stream media outlets than the alternative media news sites.

This pisses off the reporters at CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times to the point of excessive justification and outright annoyance.

The fake news term has boomeranged to the point that the Washington Post wants to retire the term.

Don Lemon recently threw a hissy fit when one of his guests referred to his entire segment on the cost of protecting the president as “fake news”

Does the Government Publish Fake News?

The main stream media has declared a war on “fake news” and has enlisted Google and Facebook to help them eradicate news that contradicts their narrative. Alternative media, has been blamed by the MSM as the purveyor of influential fake news that tipped the election to Donald Trump.

MSM even touted a list of fake news sites.

Alternative media struck back with their own fake news site lists, including such MSM stalwarts as CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post, the New York Times and others.

Now, the Rutherford Institute accuses the government of being the largest publisher of fake news.
