Report: Rachel Maddow caught in brazen lie regarding forged NSA document
Posted on 7/7/17 at 10:07 pm

If true, this is really a bad look for maddow.
Background:
Rachel Maddow, last night on her show, claimed she was mailed an NSA document claiming collusion between trump campaign and russia. Her team vetted the document and determined it was fake and forged. She then claimed it was likely the trump WH that sent her the forged document, hoping she would run with it and discredit herself. Left-leaning poster "the spleen" has a thread on this already if you want more info.
It turns out, her theory is complete 100% BS.

On June 7, an unidentified person sent documents to an online tip line for Maddow’s show, she said.
That was two days after The Intercept published legitimate NSA documents that were stolen by Reality Winner, a contractor for the agency.
quote:
And that's where Maddow's faux-outrage breaks down.
You see, if it's clear that Maddow received her forgery after the intercept published their documents then there's really no 'there' there. Pretty much anyone with an internet connection could have simply taken the Reality Winner documents from The Intercept website and used them create a forgery to send to Maddow.
Of course, Maddow knew that her whole story was bullshite unless she could convince her viewers that the forgery she received was created before The Intercept published it for the world to see. If she could prove that, then she could insist the forged document must have come from someone on the 'inside.'
So, she decided to get 'technical' and take a look at the "metadata" on the document she received. As it turns out, the "creation date" on the document she received was roughly 3.5 hours before The Intercept published their Reality Winner story. See, it's all laid out right here on this lovely timeline graphic. Checkmate, Mr. Trump!
quote:
Except, not. Ironically, by stretching the truth in an attempt to prove that her story was in any way relevant, Maddow unwittingly proved exactly the opposite.
As The Intercept has subsequently pointed out, the "creation date" on the document received by Maddow (see the timeline above) perfectly matches, to the exact second, the "creation date" on The Intercept's Reality Winner document.
Why? Because that is the exact time in which The Intercept created their document and published it to their cloud server.
All of which simply proves that Maddow's source didn't have a sneak peak at the Reality Winner documents...they actually used The Intercept document as their source for creating their forgery.
Now, we could be wrong here...but, if the Trump administration wanted to dupe Rachel Maddow we suspect they could have gotten their hands on clean copies of the Reality Winner docs without having to lift them from The Intercept's website.

Not a big deal, the left is built on lies. Everyone knows it, some care and some don't

I watched the Maddow clip after reading the Intercept story and I didn't find it that misleading. You'd have to be a very careless listener to get the contrary impression they're criticizing.

Why run a story on a known fake document that you can't attribute to any source and the info was public knowledge?
What was the point of this, other than to fabricate more FAKE NEWS?

The point is to create cover for the media. The Russian narritive is dying. When the investigations wrap up and no proof of collusion is found, all fingers are going to point to the reckless media coverage. History well note the year journalism in America died. And if there is one thing those elitist pricks care most about, it's how events are viewed through the historic lense.
Now they will claim they were a victum of a sabotage campaign to discredit them. Those evil Republicans!!

Come fricking eat dog shite Spleen I called this

I just saw on Drudge this is actually not true. The Spleen was right.

Get back to me when a Professional Progressive says something truthful. That would be noteworthy.

It wouldn't shock me at all to discover Maddows team created the document just to create the narrative she was pushing.
Posted on 7/7/17 at 11:18 pm to HailHailtoMichigan!
She/he is a whore/bastard. Should join Dan Rather in exile...as far as real press goes.
Posted on 7/7/17 at 11:35 pm to Iosh
It was obvious what she was implying

Maddow is having the best breakdown ever.
