MacKinnon: NBC News just ‘jumped the shark’ into irrelevance with its fake smear of President Trump and ODNI

Ever since then iconic businessman Donald J Trump first rode down the elevator at Trump Tower in New York City in June of to announce his intention to run for President of the United States Trump Derangement Syndrome not only became a thing but a real mental robustness issue for a plethora of far-left politicians as well as countless media academic and Hollywood personalities One decade later self-destructive irrational hate seems to be the only tenet of this new TDS theology invented and followed by the far-left intelligentsia As but the the majority contemporary example of this we have this truly bizarre smear masquerading as news offered up by NBC News Alleged NBC News in part National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard has solicited ideas from current and former intelligence representatives about efforts she could take to tailor the briefing known as the President s Daily Brief or PDB to Trump s guidelines interests and habits One idea that s been discussed is possibly creating a video version of the PDB that s made to look and feel like a Fox News broadcast four of the people with direct knowledge of the discussions revealed I suspect that once they stopped guffawing in utter amazement of the absurdity of the review the editors of the satirical sites The Babylon Bee and The Onion right away thought What kind of partisan no talent hate-filled amateur hacks are NBC News employing these days to write such fictional humor There is hating Trump and then there is this Jumping the Shark cry for mental-health help from NBC News For those not familiar with the term Jumping the Shark first became popular because of a episode of the sitcom Happy Days in which the character Fonzie jumped over a shark while water-skiing A bit so laughably bad that it signaled to countless that the writers of the show had run out of plausible and entertaining plot lines and had resorted to insulting the intelligence of their viewers Since then the term has been used to describe anyone or anything which has destroyed its brand and reputation by purposely offering up something demonstrably false outright ridiculous or insulting to the intelligence of anyone over the age of five In response to this unhinged smear of President Trump and by association ODNI Alexa Henning deputy chief of staff at ODNI posted Ok stop me if you ve heard this before NBC News was given numerous on record quotes from ODNI WH and CIA and they still used numerous anonymous sources to justify publishing a false story NBC is a failing outlet with zero on-air talent and even more worthless reporters DNI Press Secretary Olivia Coleman commented in a report This so-called reporting is laughable absurd and flat-out false In true fake news fashion NBC is publishing yet another anonymously sourced false story White House Spokesman Davis Ingle fired back at NBC News by calling the reporting libelous garbage from unnamed sources President Trump has assembled a world-class intelligence company who he is constantly communicating with and receiving real time updates on all pressing national safeguard issues With regard to this ludicrous smear from NBC News I have a theory Maybe because the minds of the journalists at NBC News have been so separated from reality the truth and professional ethics because of TDS they exclusively conflated President Trump with President Joe Biden As in the president they did seemingly know was severely mentally incapacitated at times and who they also seemingly did cover up for in blind allegiance to ideology and hatred for Trump no matter the danger to the nation such a cover-up might present A president they did know needed to have things explained to him in simple See Spot Run words and graphics Once upon a time NBC News was rightfully respected because of news anchors such as Chet Huntley David Brinkley John Chancellor and Tom Brokaw Now it is seemingly populated by journalists who like the previous president they went out of their way to protect for partisan reasons have sadly lost touch with reality and the truth Since the start of the administration not only has President Trump been hitting home run after home run for the nation but so has Tulsi Gabbard the director of the Office of National Intelligence And if there is one thing which we have learned over the years it is that nothing infuriates the unhinged left more than Trump and his gang succeeding in protecting the economic and national prevention interests of every man woman and child in our nation But at what cost to the truth to professional ethics integrity and even patriotism NBC News did jump the shark with this preposterous smear But worse than that they seemed to signal that they are willing to do anything to damage President Trump and his association Even if it means putting our nation in danger Douglas MacKinnon is a former White House and Pentagon official and author of the book The Liberty Lessons from
