Now let's check in with how things were going on MSNBC while this story unfolded.
Chris Hayes was talking with Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna and there were two things being spun: Attempts were made to give Biden credit for much of the Israel/Hamas deal while Hayes and Khanna tried to diminish the importance of the Nobel Peace Prize just in case Trump should receive one. Watch, via @mazemoore:
Here's how MSNBC's other Rachel Maddow covered Trump securing a peace deal in the Middle East.

Chris Hayes: Biden had a peace deal in place that Trump never followed through with. Is Trump only doing this to win the Nobel Peace Prize? pic.twitter.com/VIweBi3ZaC
Hayes and some Democrats trying to credit President Autopen for the deal is the most predictable thing ever.

Biden should have gotten a Peace Prize just for achieving that level of relaxation.
"Only doing it for the Nobel Prize." Trump successfully goaded them into this response, mocking them and the prize with a few mentions.@MSNBC @nytimes @peterbakernyt @helenecooper @WhiteHouse @chrislhayes @RoKhanna @WhiteHouse https://t.co/RUBxGbUUdr

The same people who were giddy after Obama was awarded a Peace Prize for, well, nothing really, are now trying to diminish its importance just in case Trump gets one.
@chrislhayes - despite being a ratings drag on an already-failing network and being the most predictable person in media, don’t *ever* change. It’s too damn entertaining in the most unintentional way imaginable… https://t.co/M2BoU13Hgy

Shouldn’t MSNBC be required to say (Parody) beside their call letters? https://t.co/pnWqHmhKfh

They sure do make people laugh, just not for the intended reasons.
