You know what the problem is regarding Rachel and DUers?
You all expect MSNBC and certain other media outlets to cater to you rather than getting to the truth of the matter. Her job is not to take down Donald Trump. It is to provide the public with information. She did that. If y'all quit expecting them to be your voice, to tell you what you want to hear, you won't be so upset when they do their job.
The RWers view media the same way. They just have different favorites. That general tendency is bad for us and bad for America. People need to grapple with news they find unsatisfying, uncomfortable, and that contradicts how they see the world. It is the public's refusal to do that contributes to our dysfunctional political culture and government.
(And yes, I think it highly likely Trump leaked the return. No, I do not think Rachel got played.)

4. I think she framed the story the best way possible - it doesn't matter if he leaked it or someone
Else did- she stressed over and over again WHY and WHAT INFO from the taxes is needed. She took a piece of info and used it as a teaching moment. Internet dudes love being assholes, it's tiresome.
and what does this teaching moment teach us?

8. and the taxes do connect to the Russia story
Or they would if we could see the relevant years.

11. I have no problem with Rachel Or how she handled this story. But let's be clear. Rachel, Chris, Lawrence... they are commentators who have a particular slant. I am proud that, in general, "our side" attempts to be fact based. But MSNBC is not pure news, leave the biases at the door in the sense I think you mean. There's value in what they do, but for just the facts news... you almost have to go for International sources (BBC News or CNN International, just for example)

16. There are multiple reasons the Cretin can be taken down. Rachel knows
How to build a solid story with solid sources.
Not everything she finds is going to instantly blow it all wide open for liberals and progressives. (The Cretin conservatives won't give much of a crap) But piece by piece the puzzle will be completed.
Time will tell.
My guess is this was a Cretin leak.
Just toooooo convenient otherwise.
It's kind of like all the posts on DU saying how stupid GWB was... and now it's how stupid DJT is... yet he beats them every single time...

More fake but accurate bullshit.

Translation: BB's as bitterly disappointed by Rachel MadCow's hyped NothingBurger as every other (non-mole) DU-member, but she figured out how to appear above it all.

Are those IQ points analogous to Zimbabwean dollars? :rimshot:
