Chuck Todd Just Realized That Republicans Intentionally Lie

[guillaumeb]

From the article:

Todd told Rolling Stone, “For the last two or three years we’ve been pondering a social media special like this. Last year we focused on climate change. But had we not done climate change, we were in the social media world thinking about what it was doing to our politics. And then you realize it’s the misinformation. This is bigger than social media. The Ukraine story for me really crystallized it. And for good or bad, our show has been at the forefront of this.

The first Sunday of the Trump administration is when the phrase, “alternative facts” was debuted. It was on Meet the Press Rudy that Giuliani used the phrase “Truth isn’t truth.” So look, whether we’d liked it or not, our platform has been used, or they’ve attempted to use our platform to essentially disseminate, or to sort of , what I would say, is lay the groundwork for this.”

It is marvelous that Mr. Todd finally realized what many of us realized back in 1980. Or earlier. Now, having experienced this epiphany, how will Mr. Todd structure his show to reflect this?

1. As I've posted about this interview earlier today. Wow Chuck Todd.

[guillaumeb]

3. And he did it all by himself.

At least he did, finally, figure it out.

But what will he do on his show to reflect this newfound knowledge?

[LiberalFighter]

39. Absolutely nothing!

[susanr516]

41. Not a damn thing

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. OMFG

He is not *that* dense, is he really?

[guillaumeb]

5. There are two possibilities. Neither is good.

1) Yes, he is.

2) No, he is not, but he pretended.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

8. +1

[blm]

10. I'd bet money on 2.

[guillaumeb]

14. Agreed. eom

[underpants]

15. No one watches a one-horse horse race

Networks and the affiliates (especially) rely on political ad money.

[guillaumeb]

24. And the popular meme of Democrats in disarray. eom

[uponit7771]

22. +1, idiot or enemy neither is good

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

4. You don't say!! Chuck Turd is a GENIUS!!

[guillaumeb]

6. I am certain he would agree with that. eom

[malaise]

7. Apparently he didn't hear when one of them said publicly that there

was nothing wrong with lying to the media

[guillaumeb]

12. And when Kellyanne Conway spoke of alternative facts?

Yes, he missed those things, and the 13,000 plus lies that Trump has told in 4 years.

[malaise]

16. Fuckie Toad is part of the problem

Didn't they just give him some award? Must be for incompetence.

[guillaumeb]

18. He is a part of the US corporate owned and controlled media.

And the right has been framing the US media as liberal since 1968.

[JustAnotherGen]

9. He's full of shit

Saw this on news and guts early today -

He's just full of shit. He's known all along and it's not 'naive' - he knew WHAT he was doing to make his money.

[blm]

11. ✔️

[guillaumeb]

13. Exactly.

MSNBC is not a liberal outlet, it is a corporate owned, money making operation.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

17. He is a corporate toad.....

nothing more nothing less. He's knows better but his corporate bosses tell him to play like a dope and he does it.He feeds into the dumbig down of the eletorate, he should feel some guilt for that, but I bet he has no guilt.

[guillaumeb]

19. Welcome to DU.

The US media has never been a liberal media. It is, and has been, corporate owned and controlled.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Rachel and Lawrence are 100% honest and report on anything, or almost

thank GOD for them

[guillaumeb]

32. Agreed.

Chuck Todd provides....what exactly?

Balance?

Comic relief?

[Kid Berwyn]

20. Truth.

Guy knows how to dummy-up.
“I never heard Trump lie.”
“I never heard Bush lie.”

[spanone]

21. fuckchuck

[dewsgirl]

35. +1000😜

[spanone]

37. 😁

[dalton99a]

23. "OMG I had no idea! They really fooled me!"

What a damn whore

[guillaumeb]

25. And well paid for his service to the network. eom

[LonePirate]

26. He should be fired for gross incompetence but won't. He will have learned nothing on his next show.

He will continue to let Republicans peddle their lies and propaganda and there will be no rebuttal from the left because the Sunday news shows do not book Democrats.

[Rob2861]

27. It was for the ratings

He knew all along how the Republicans are. He was on that side of the fence because he thought he could get better ratings. Now as the evidence gathers, he can not deny what is happening right in front of the worlds face.

[Mike Nelson]

28. Wow...

... he's really earning that fat NBC paycheck!

[guillaumeb]

30. A mind like a razor!!

His, of course.

[UniteFightBack]

31. Better late than never....now let's see what he does with it. nt

[guillaumeb]

33. You expect him to use this new insight and change his style?

One hopes that you are correct.

[Va Lefty]

34. In other news... it appears the Sun will rise tomorrow.

[czarjak]

38. East or West...

Both sides ya know.

[Va Lefty]

42. Well played!

[dewsgirl]

36. I wonder if this is due to viewers pushing for his replacement?

[live love laugh]

40. Fuck. Todd. nt
