So Chuck Todd is telling us that the media was soft on Hillary because of political correctness

Gee, really Chuckie.

Is that why during the Matt Lauer interview Hillary was treated with hostility, while trump was given a free pass?

How about the hair on fire reaction with Hillary's bout of pneumonia? Was the media balanced their?

When Comey released the letter to the house republicans in Congress Chuckie, how come MSNBC was the first network to FALSELY report that the email investigation had been reopened, and then proceed to parade every right wing politician across their screen to to propagate that LIE.

I can name so many more examples, and the double standard of the media, but we all saw it.

I am so glad MSNBC, CNN, fox, CNBC, and the rest of the trash doesn't come into my house

Chuck Todd: Media knew how ‘hated’ Hillary was in heartland and we ‘underplayed’ it

The first comment resonates well:

"What you did wrong you big toad is to NOT tell the truth about Donald Trump. You let him tell lie after lie without any blow back from the press. Todd you are disgusting!"

If someone were to hack off both of Chuck Todd's hands so he couldn't write, cut out his tongue so he couldn't speak, chop off his feet so he couldn't walk, and then make him wear eye patches so couldn't see, I guess it could be said that someone was being "soft" on Chuck Todd in retribution for the slanted poor excuse for journalism he has been practicing.

from the media was relentless squawking about the goddamned email bullshit, even when there was nothing there, while they continually downplayed all the nutty craziness from Cheetolini. and relentlessly covered his every fucking move, giving him a legitimacy they should have known he did not possess, for their own ratings and profits.

The minute it became clear Hillary could not get to 270 EV, shut the TV off and have only watched maybe three hours total of local news for weather and local issues. I have no plans to watch MSNBC (really disappointed in how they normalized Trump leading up to November 8) or CNN. Never watched Fox, seldom watched CNBC.

The tide is turning for CNN. Ever since Trump shut down their reporter and called them "Fake News" in his first press conference, CNN has been acting like they've finally seen the light. They're not cutting Trump any slack. They know that he's done with them, so now they're after him. Jake Tapper especially. Cumo gets his digs in too. It seems like they're reporting how they should have been reporting all along. It took Trump to kick them to the curb to make them do the job they should have been doing for the past two years.

But with HRC - who had better approval ratings - they brought it up and deliberately tried to humiliate her daily with that crap- asked her to be rface for shits and giggles.

Every time the public saw them together, her lead shot up. But then the media started back with the pick, pick, picking.

and forced to watch all that soft handling of Hillary by him and others until he begs for forgiveness and cries. He also has to agree to go on every network, print media, FB, Twitter whatever else there is and agree to be questioned.

I think Joy, Rachel, and Christiane should be first in line.

And then explain his Trump coverage.

I have no idea why anyone watches him. Why reward people who lied to you with your time and attention?

I turned off corporate media since the election. At least they don't have to worry since they will all get their tax cuts.
