Chuck Todd should have nailed Rudy for his lie that Trump Tower meeting didn't involve Russian govt

That was such a glaring lie, completely disproven by the emails before the meeting, making it clear the Russian government was involved and Moron Jr was told that.

Yet Chuck Todd let Rudy get away with that lie, when he should have interrupted him and shut him down.

Seems to me his command of the facts is lacking. More of a headline, buzzword type interviewer.

On edit apparently yes

I feel like I'm living in a scene out of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and the ether refuses to wear off

for what he has become (for the hundredth time now -- thrills!). No harm done because that audience didn't need anyone to explain the whoppers Giuliani was serving.

To me, Todd's most offensive tactic is the false equalizations of and projections on Democrats of whatever he's deploring. Every show offers more opportunities to turn the disgust raised by problems he has to discuss on the right into smears on Democrats.
