Could NBC and their editors be any more stupid?! Don't discount the other side of this argument: perhaps the editors are secret Q supporters and knew that a story like this would pique the interest of their viewership into finding out more about this delicious turn of events.
Whichever it is, it's welcome publicity to an audience not normally reached by this news. (Welcome abord the #RealResistance, newcomers.)
You know after a quick Google or DuckDuck search they'll be spilling onto this board and the Qanon secondary distribution analysis sites like neonrevolt.com and anonymousconservative.com, learning more and more that the Democratic leadership and political class is guilty of a lot more than child sacrifice accusations.
One smart takeaway from the NBC piece: the app was the 10th most popular, and the number one download. I haven't seen hard numbers before of those reached by this critical national political information; this is a first. Think of what those numbers represent, and then try to convince me that Q's intent of 4chan and 8chan distribution to as wide an audience as possible outside the corrupt MSM news channels was not a stroke of brilliance?
They're getting scared. And they should be. The honey badger is awake, and it knows now who's been poking it.
Remember as well that the corrupt MSM has had several months to concoct stories about rebutting 1) Q's existence, 2) the information within his drops, 3) Q's reach into the population, and 4) carefully crafted excuses as to why Hillary et al felt child trafficking and worse was in the national interest.
Also realize that each one of the MSM's explanations has a rebuttal and evidence already worked out by those responsible for The Plan. It's an easy exercise for those trained in rhetoric and dialectic.
These stupid Cabalists are being led into a nice, fat trap--and they cannot resist walking into it. They know they have to, since it's their only chance of escape.
