NBC News deserves genuine props for their new scoop on scam artist Anna Sorokin

We generally don’t have a lot of praise to offer NBC News, given their propensity to be shameless hacks and all.

But when they do something right, we’ll give them their props. Because we’re generous like that.

And you’ll be feeling pretty generous with the props yourselves when you see this tweet and the accompanying post’s headline:

More from NBC News:

The infamous socialite minted 10 NFTs that will grant holders “exclusive access” to her, which includes perks like one-on-one phone calls, she told NBC News’ Savannah Sellers in a recent interview.

Three “ultra platinum” NFTs grant the opportunity to meet Sorokin in person, and holders will receive a package of “personal items” from Sorokin.

“I’m trying to move away from this like, quote unquote scammer persona,” Sorokin, who is still in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, said from the Orange County Correctional Facility in upstate New York.

“This is, like totally, has been pushed upon me by the prosecution and by the following media and by the Netflix show, but I’m trying to move away from that definitely.”

That’s what makes this such a humorous situation.

And whoever wrote that headline totally understood that and did exactly what they should have done — and did it pitch-perfectly.

It’s the element of surprise at the end that really makes it work.

Seriously, Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert are excruciatingly, aggressively unfunny, but even we’d have a hard time not cracking a smile if they read that headline out loud.

Hats off to NBC News. Truly.
