re: Rachel Maddow is claiming to have Trump's tax returns ETA: AP says 2005 returns

This is strange. MSNBC are propagandists, but they have seemed to have journalistic integrity throughout the election. They'll openly say what they're about and say what they think. They haven't actively tried to rig things for candidates, like CNN did at every turn. They didn't play Trump's rallies unedited for months on end. Don Lemon and Wolf Blitzer are pathological liars that try to lie to the American people to turn them into brainwashed slugs.

With Maddow and Matthews though, I think they're more like O'Reilly in that they directly say what they believe and don't lie to the people. They come across as genuine people on the left unlike anyone at CNN (possibly save for Van Jones). They don't cut people off (as far as I've seen) that say things they don't like. CNN and ABC though do this all the fricking time.

So I'm going to sit on this. Maddow I don't think would leak anything if she thinks it may ruin her reputation. Instead likely on Zucker's commands, Donna Brazille takes the fall and becomes the Chair of the DNC. I'll sit on this.

Yeah, this doesn't seem to be her fortay. I've thought of her more as a left wing O'Reilly. She's usually smarter than this. I could fully believe this coming from Don Lemon's mouth who interviewed his own cameraman in the streets during a protest, but not Maddow.
