Stupid question- why does Chuck Todd...

[lisa58]

Allow Corey Lewandowski to say that the Dems and Hillary paid the Russians millions for info without challenge?

[RandomAccess]

1. Sadly, he's not the only one. They ALL do, AFAIK

[50 Shades Of Blue]

2. Here's another. Why does Todd have Lewandowski on in the first place?!

What is the fucking point? Does Todd really think Lewandowski isn't going to spew obvious lying bullshit in response to every question?

[OnDoutside]

3. Or why is Chuck Todd on at all ?

[lisa58]

6. Hahahaha

[Butterflylady]

17. Exactly

Can't stand the toad. B o r i n g g g g!

[lsewpershad]

24. You mean Chuckky toad?

[OnDoutside]

28. The very one...

[lisa58]

4. I don't mind him being on if he's called out for his bs

[50 Shades Of Blue]

9. But what is the point of giving Lewandowski a platform to lie in the first place?

[lisa58]

10. To discredit the argument

[50 Shades Of Blue]

12. No need to discredit it if he's not given air time to make it.

[lisa58]

16. Yes, but it's made in other venues and should be shut down...

Instead of ignored.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

7. Yeah, wasn't he fired by CNN?

Chuck Todd is an ass.

[Submariner]

5. Chucky has said it is not his job to challenge

the interviewee because they will not come back on his show the next time he asks. I think it is called faux journalism or cowardice, or something like that.

[lisa58]

8. That's crap and very Wolf Blitzer

[Achilleaze]

11. That's what he said. He gave himself a corporate exemption from responsiiblity

to do his job. Sick. It's a republican "values" kind of moral disease, to weasel out of basic responsibilities.

[Eliot Rosewater]

27. For some reason most in the MSM no longer believe they are supposed to

point out when someone is lying.

And this and this alone will be our epitaph.

[malaise]

13. The vast majority of them do it

Same shit with the crooked Hillary rubbish

[Hoyt]

14. Not sure about millions or countries, but I think it is true DNC used foreigners at one point.

That is one of the problems with this whole Russian deal. The GOPers went way to far and certainly benefited more, but I don't think we can claim total innocence.

That is one reason I don't think trump will ever be convicted, no matter what Mueller uncovers. First lots of people will just chalk it up to politics as usual. If it goes to a jury, there will be at least one white winger who won't convict. If it goes to Congress, we'll never get the votes in the Senate needed to convict.


Not the way I want it to end, but I've had a hard time being optimistic since Fitzgerald flopped.

[lisa58]

19. Not seeing the problem...

He was British Intelligence (ally) and the Dems inheirted the investigation from the GOP, which cost under $200,00 - that’s politics as usual

[emulatorloo]

30. Steele Dossier is info from Russian whistleblowers. Trump campaign was helped by government agents

That’s a big difference. Some of the whistleblowers have been killed since.

Let’s get caught up in Lying Lewandowski‘s game of false equivalences and misdirection.

[Hoyt]

32. Convince the Senate, any jury, or Joe/Jane white wingers who will vote for a GOPers again.

They know he’s guilty, but don’t care.

[emulatorloo]

33. The question was the veracity of Lewandowski's false equivalencies

Not whether or not Trump’s base believes those falsehoods

[Wellstone ruled]

15. Chuckie loves the

ability to get any Rethug to appear on his show of lies.

[left-of-center2012]

18. Chuck Todd has said in the past ...

That if he's tough on his guests,
they won't come back.

[lisa58]

20. Then you get sh*t on

[madaboutharry]

21. He also allowed him to riff on the whole House Intel Committee

bullshit about how it is "now settled that there was no collusion because the House Intelligence Committee says so."

Ugh.

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

22. IMO

Toads following orders and isn't a journalist.

[tikka]

23. Todd is worthless as a journalist (Slightly better than his predecessor, David Gregory)

In fact, he shouldn't even be called a journalist. At most, he is a host. His both-siderism, repeatedly allowing questionable guests, like Conway and Lewandowski, on his show, and his spineless acquiescence of RW talking points.

[lostnfound]

25. He's not a journalist. IMO he is also very cynical and snide toward most Democrats. Nt

[MontanaMama]

26. Chuck is a tool.

That is all.

[Scurrilous]

29. Corporate media is much less frustrating once you stop watching it.

[HoosierDebbie]

31. Andrea Mitchell does it too!

Seems like she lets him say everything he wants to and then at the end of his segment disputes some of what he says. She doesn't confront him with his lies and distortions.
