MSNBC cuts away from Manchester victims screaming to air outdated anti-Trump gossip

Talk about ordering your priorities!

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews ruthlessly cut away from video of people screaming after the terror attack in Manchester Monday night in order to hone in on “shocking news” from Washington regarding President Trump and old accusations of his campaign colluding with Russia.

“Police say there have been a number of fatalities and a serious incident after a concert at Manchester arena,” Matthews said in the opening of his segment. “News had just broken that at least 20 were dead and hundreds wounded. “A senior U.S. intelligence official tells NBC news there has been an explosion.”

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

As Matthews spoke, video footage from the arena was broadcast behind him, and loud screams can be heard as people on the scene navigate the aftermath of the deadly attack.

But then Matthews even more shockingly moved on to the network’s latest gotcha moment, looking directly into the camera and tell his audience:

We’ll get the latest on that in a minute. We begin however, with the shocking news in Washington tonight.

That news — Trump allegedly asking intelligence officials to dismiss media reports of alleged Russian collusion —actually occurred months ago. Still, Matthews and his network deemed it more important than a developing terrorist attack.

And while some of the details of the Washington Post report are new, the thread of the Trump campaign asking intelligence officials to tamp down on media reports accusations of collusion with Russia is not. Reports circulated as early as February that Trump’s chief of staff Reince Priebus asked the FBI to deny reports that campaign advisers were communicating with Russian intelligence agents during the campaign.

This report, by Rachel Stoltzfoos, was cross-posted by arrangement with the Daily Caller News Foundation.
