BREAKING : NBC “FUMING MAD” Over MSNBC’s Botched “Trump Tax Scoop”

On Tuesday night Rachel Maddow told the world she had an exclusive Trump ‘Tax Scoop” story.

Earlier in the day, Maddow touted her “exclusive” on Twitter, saying she had a copy of Trump’s tax return and would reveal it during her show.

(Seriously).

Liberals were positively giddy at the prospect of “destroying” Trump on the tax issue, which they have pushed relentlessly for months now.

However, much to liberals dismay, Maddow had no “Trump bombshell” to report.

Instead, she helped conservatives by debunking the liberal “fake news” story that President Trump hadn’t paid his taxes once she revealed Trump paid $38 million in taxes and a much higher tax rate than most presidential candidates.

It was an epic liberal fail and MSNBC’s parent company NBC is reportedly “FUMING MAD” over the debacle.

From Page Six

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.”
