The hypocrisy of MSBNC re: the Melania Trump plagiarism.

[SticksnStones]

16. Fair enough then

Let me say more specifically there is a higher bar set for a speech made by a potential first lady at a National Convention in front of a world wide audience than there is for a Boston sports writer's column. And to be sure, Barnacle tooks his lumps and admitted the plagiarism and lives with the consequence of that in his wiki page forever.

The reason this is such a big deal and does need to be discussed is not so much the 60 or so words that were plagerized but rather it very clearly illustrates how ill prepared Team Trump is to handle the White House. Either Trump himself or someone on his team thought it was a perfectly fine thing to do.

Matthews comment was spoken in the larger context of discussing just how the Trump camp should move through the story. And I say the meat of the story is not the plagiarism per se but the inability to handle the fallout.

Thank goddess the media are FINALLY beating to death just how unqualified Trump is to handle any unplanned challenge! It's finally being discussed not in terms of a novelty but rather a liability.

I don't understand the value in calling out MSNBC for making hay with the story. That's the business they're in.
