Did Rachel Maddow Break The Law BY Disclosing President Trump's Tax Return?

Last night, the internet and Mainstream Media dissolved into excited chaos after MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow tweeted this:

Unfortunately Rachel may have broken the law.

26 U.S. Code § 7213: “It shall be unlawful for any person to whom any return or return information (as defined in section 6103(b)) is disclosed in a manner unauthorized by this title thereafter willfully to print or publish in any manner not provided by law any such return or return information. Any violation of this paragraph shall be a felony punishable by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both, together with the costs of prosecution.”

Rachel did you lawyer up?

The Media And The Illusion Of Choice

Remember when Bill Clinton signed the Telecommunications Act of 1996, which let 6 corporations control 90% of all media and the information you hear?

This infographic created by Jason at Frugal Dad shows that almost all media comes from the same six sources.

That’s consolidated from 50 companies back in 1983.

NOTE: This infographic is from 2001 and is missing some key transactions. GE does not own NBC (or Comcast or any media) anymore. So that 6th company is now Comcast. And Time Warner doesn’t own AOL, so Huffington Post isn’t affiliated with them.

But the fact that a few companies own everything demonstrates “The Illusion Of Choice”, Frugal Dad says. While some big sites, like Digg and Reddit aren’t owned by any of the corporations, Time Warner owns news sites read by millions of Americans every year.

Look deeply into the faces of these protesters. Look at their enthusiasm for the cause. Look at their signs. Not a single hand-made original thought. Each was handed a sign as they got off the bus, and collected their day’s pay for protesting.

We have won!

The Faces Of These Protesters

Look at the guy in the red shirt who wants a $15 minimum wage but also wants to let in illegals, who will work for far less than $15 an hour. Do they not see the irony? Oh, wait they’re just doing this for money.
