Chuck Todd just said...

he thought Barr has been trying to walk a “fine line.” Bullshit! Barr threw his ample bulk as far over the line as he could manage on the day he walked the door, and has been oozing ahead for additional inches every day since.

MSNBC, shitcan Chuck Todd!

Thinly veiled corruption on one side, outright brigandry on the other. Sounds like chucktodd is trying to give the administration the high sign that the media can't quite yet cover for the phase of Trump's kleptocracy. Give it a few days, maybe a week, for the political pundits to make the next circle of Hell a little more palatable for the audience.

But as for the rest of your comment, no idea. He's a talentless tool. I actually tried to like him at first, back when he was the Steve Kornacki of the network, but once he moved to the interviewer's chair, wow.

I can stomach Chris Hayes when’s he’s on.
I just like print media and YouTube a lot more. I feel there’s a major spin with the corporate networks.

It makes sense that they would spin it. The corporate press job isn’t to inform the general populous. It’s to maximize dividends for their shareholders. I feel those dividends and information at times contradict each other.

Very very broad way of looking at it.
