Chuck Todd needs to be fired is trending on twitter - after he let Mulvaney spew propaganda re CV-19

Ricky Davila@TheRickyDavila·2h
To be clear, we just saw Chuck Todd invite MAGA Lunatic Mick Mulvaney on his program to lie about how the deadly Coronavirus isn’t as deadly as people think without any pushback or fact checking. Chuck Todd needs to be fired.

Inform the Public? Not My Job, Says Chuck Todd
https://fair.org/home/inform-the-public-not-my-job-says-chuck-todd/

NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd‘s declaration that it’s not his job to inform viewers when politicians spread misinformation was noted by several progressive blogs today, including Talking Points Memo.

Appearing on MSNBC‘s Morning Joe today (9/18/13), Todd responded to Ed Rendell’s claim that Obamacare opponents are full of misinformation about the program by explaining that this was because Republicans “have successfully messaged against it.” But wasn’t journalism’s job to expose misinformation? No, Todd insisted; if the public was misinformed about the Affordable Care Act, it was the president’s fault for not pushing back

"If one person says it's raining and another says it isn't, a journalist's job is not to report that opinions differ, but to step outside and see if he gets wet."

When he said that I knew he was one of the stupidest reporters ever paid. His MSNBC commercials actually contradict his stupid comment.

Haven't watched more than 5 min of him since. I want investigate-able journalists on the job
not show boaters.

5 minutes is unbearable. I will second guess my actions if a task will take me into his reporting time. I will either change the channel before starting the task, or start the task after making sure he is not visible on any of my screens.

I'd love to see him get the hook, but it may not be easy.
