Major cable news network MSNBC added a parenthetical defense of Hillary Clinton during a Donald Trump speech Thursday in a bizarre attempt to undermine the message of its own chyron.

“TRUMP: CLINTON IS IN HIDING (SPEAKING NEXT HOUR)” the chyron running along the bottom of the screen during Trump’s speech read briefly.

The Republican presidential candidate was criticizing Clinton for “hiding” in the wake of new revelations about alleged corruption at the Clinton Foundation, as the first part of the chyron neatly summarizes.

Unwilling to let Trump’s criticism go unanswered in their own chyron, however, MSNBC tacked on the second part in a transparent effort to explain on Clinton’s behalf that she is not literally hiding and would be speaking herself shortly.

“wow, @MSNBC, with the no-chill chyron,” Manny Fidel tweeted.
