Did anyone else notice that Meet the Press edited out

[rateyes]

"and see what happens to her" when playing tape of Trumps veiled threat against Hillary?

[bettyellen]

1. Hate Chuck Todd.

[onecent]

2. So do I hate Chuck Todd.

[bench scientist]

15. Chuck Todd is an insufferable and boorish partisan hack.

Why he is viewed as even remotely objective or credible is mystifying.

[Hortensis]

20. Watched to see what he did today for first time

in ages. I did NOT expect him to have altered, and so I wasn't disappointed as I listened to him push the idea of Hillary's untrustworthiness as a given at length, including video of kids claiming they couldn't trust her. Plus many other things, like agreeing with kellyanne Conway's lie about Clinton and... can't stand to think of the rest.

What happened to a one-honorable program? Todd has an anti-Hillary/anti-Democrat agenda that has nothing to do with journalism.

[kacekwl]

33. Meet the Oh what Trump

said wasn't so bad , right.

[LuvLoogie]

3. Did Todd mention or bring up the whole of the quote?...

Which is really the crux of the story. Hillary's team really need to call out NBC on this one.

[MoonRiver]

4. Did not watch it, but that is infuriating!

Further discredits Todd as a serious journalist.

[Duckhunter935]

5. Not surprising, it's Chuck

And @nbc needs to be called out for that dishonest crap

[Paladin]

6. Allow me to pile on, here.

Fuck Chuck Todd. Talk about somebody who gives serious journalists a bad name.

[The Wizard]

18. Chuck Turd is a hack

not a journalist.

[rurallib]

7. I don't think any person is trying harder to make this a horse race than Todd

His Comcast owners must be proud.

I tried to watch him again today and only could take about a minute of the twists and misdirections.

[Danmel]

8. They did that on the radio too

CBS news affiliate in NYC. Pissed me off.

[Sunny05]

9. NBC is messed up ...

This is very concerning. Here's something else I noticed from NBC last night. After the explosion in Manhattan, once NBC finally posted news about it, their actual post on the explosion was immediately followed by a post about trump announcing the explosion. ???!!! That post included a 0.33 second video, apparently of trump (based on headline & still image I could see). I dared not click the link much less watch the video. So, to be fair, maybe the video made a fool of trump.

Anyway, I was periodically checking my apps to see what headlines the three major (traditional?) networks had, something I've been doing, not b/c I trust they have real or balanced news ... whole other story. BTW, CBS was the first of these three to report the explosion. CBS & ABC actually stuck to Manhattan news w/o bringing djt into it, last I looked (late last night, Sat. the 17th).

So what's the deal? Did someone say NBC is owned by Comcast? Does Comcast -- or their sponsors -- have connections to trump or his business dealings? I thought their was a falling out between NBC & djt last summer. Did that change? Is someone at NBC or Comcast being bribed? Blackmailed? Threatened somehow? I'm not usually into suspicious lines or conspiracy theories, but this is too weird.

Or did anyone else watch the video? Did it make a fool of trump? If so, I'm sorry I spent your time w/ above paragraph. I just can't bring myself fo watch it. And I don't want to reward "MSM" w/ clicks on stuff like that.

22. NBC

is owned by GE, a military contractor who manufactures lots of weapons of war and has been a major advocate and profiteer of war since WWII... a member of the MIC that Eisenhower warned us about. NBC is their manipulator for public acceptance of their world domination plan or at least one of perpetual war to keep the taxpayer $$ rolling in.

[BlueInPhilly]

24. Nope. Owned by Comcast

GE sold NBC to Comcast a few years ago.

[Sunny05]

25. Okay ... Still, are there clues here ...

Hi, appreciate responses from both BlueInPhilly and 2naSalit.

So, the GE scenario seems to be on to something, but the Comast response seems pretty confident. Is there a chance of a holdover of the GE organization culture in the Comcast-owned NBC? Did the same GE NBC executives stay after Comcast bought NBC? Were past GE "deals" or relationships between GE/NBC and GE's partners/clients/suppliers/contractors maintained by Comcast/NBC?

This is so puzzling and incredibly important, I think.

p.s. Really puzzling over how MSNBC and Maddow, O'Donnell, etc., figure in. But that's a question for another day. Not worried about them.

[Zen Democrat]

26. Comcast owns NBC and MSNBC, and they do not allow negative talk about TPP.

They definitely have their biases and they make sure their hired pundits toe the line.

[Sunny05]

28. Oh wow ...

Yeah, I knew MSNBC was under same ownership as NBC -- hence my postscript in above post. But I did not realize that about TPP. I had not noticed. Wow. Thanks for pointing that out.

Is it 1984 already? Somebody say something to cheer me up!

(Still glad for your input. We need to know. And I did ask.). 👍

[2naSalit]

30. Ooops!

forgot that part... somehow I don't think their operational paradigm has changed their focus, though.

[George Eliot]

10. MTP isn't helping Clinton. Todd just spent 15 min whining.

He thinks he's better than he is. Conway made him look like an intern. I watch MTP these days just to see how bad it can be. They gave TRUMP way too much time earlier and now they are desperate to alter course but spending so much time on the birther issue when most have moved on is weak.

[Laser102]

11. Chuckie used to be a repug pollster. He's still working for them.

[SwankyXomb]

32. He should wear his Red Hat on the air then.

[TeamPooka]

12. NBC and MSNBC have cut that line from several airings of this quote. HMMMMMMM?

[BumRushDaShow]

13. I assumed they would be back to business as usual by the Sunday shows

They have to have 2 candidates in November so they can fill the airtime with their babble, and they will prop him up as much as they can.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

14. Rachel should have gotten the job.

[TimeToGo]

16. I didn't see it

(don't watch it)

But for those who did -- please email NBC with complaints.

[Fast Walker 52]

17. OH MY GOD! This freaking news media is just DEPLORABLE

[Cary]

19. I noticed

And I hate that grey haired Alex dude and his slow, calm demeanor while apologizing for.batshit crazy right wing drivel. When he started talking I had to turn it off.

[TimeToGo]

21. Now wait a minute everyone

Just saw it on replay -- the full quotation was in there. I never watch that show, by my spouse called me in to hear it.

I dislike Todd, and certainly it wouldn't surprise me but -- it was there.

[rateyes]

29. It wasn't there this morning. The statement

was there with that particular line cut out.

[The Blue Flower]

23. That part was cut so as not to repeat the threat

It's an incitement to violence, so the responsible thing to do is not to repeat it.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. Then how are people supposed to know the threats & dog whistles Trump makes?

[BSdetect]

27. Just watched Todd for 2 minutes.

A drumph stooge (why are they all so obese) quoting crap about Clinton starting birtherism, and Dowd touting her book again.

He is a really poor at any coverage of Drumph. Hey Todd, that crap is pure drumphism spin. Wake up.

Katy Tur gets a few weak words in.

Switched off.

[JI7]

34. NBC is going to offer him a lot of money for apprentice after the election
