Jake Tapper/CNN vs Chuck Todd/MSNBC - Truth reporting on a Trump tweet

[TeamPooka]

Jake Tapper and Chuck Todd both led their show today with the Russia hack/Putin led the way story and Trump's tweet on the matter.
They both read the full Trump tweet
"If Russia, or some other entity, was hacking, why did the White House wait so long to act? Why did they only complain after Hillary lost?"
Jake Tapper's next words were 'The answer, they didn't." and ran video of Jake reporting the story when it broke back in early October.
Chuck Todd reads same tweet and the next words out his mouth?
"It's actually a fairly important question. One we all need to find an answer to."

Congratulations Chuck Todd!
You win the Joseph Goebbels Media Stooge of the Day Award!
We're going to have to leave it here Chuck....

1. Perhaps Todd was in make-up when the story came out. eom

[Cha]

3. Or he had his head up his a$$ like usual.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. That's what he does for makeup.

[Hortensis]

20. Or maybe he played his own part in burying the story

when it did break, just as he's doing now. It's all the Dems' fault for being the party Russia feared in the newest iteration of the Cold War.

[TonyPDX]

35. That's how he maintains that tortured "comb-forward."

[Cha]

2. So stupid chuck todd thinks stupid dump drumpf asked

an important question.

And, the point, chuckie, is that it was HACKED.. not what anyone else said about it WHEN and WHERE.

It's so special how dumphuck sticks up for Russian Hacking over our country.. he is only the rigged elect.

Thanks Jake Tapper.. never thought I'd say that!

Why don't people email and call m$nbc and let them know the answer? Do they even know people are watching and think they're full of shite?

I stopped watching in Nov 2002.

4. Press release, Oct. 7: Joint Statement from DHS and DNI

The U.S. Intelligence Community (USIC) is confident that the Russian Government directed the recent compromises of e-mails from US persons and institutions, including from US political organizations. ....

11. Speaking of the DHS...

(These are NOT the same article, but they are from the same source, a news station in Georgia.)

[malthaussen]

17. Not an intelligence geek...

... but I presume "confident" is a step down from "highly confident." So one might presume they've been working hard on the question since then, and finding their initial suspicions to be supported.

5. Very good observation to point out. Post it on Reddit or Freepers too!

[TeamPooka]

18. Trying to send me to those places....what did I ever do to you?

You go have a drink with Mitch McConnell!

[world wide wally]

21. Since you put it that way....

Never-mind.

[uponit7771]

6. Thx ... going to CNN for now on for 4pm news... fuckin sick of MSNBC ... that's it ... fuck them.

... I don't expect these guys to be perfect but at least give a shit.

Todd did the false equivalncy shit with what's happening in NC just a couple of seconds ago...

fuck him... it's like they're not even trying to peer review each other

[TeamPooka]

12. Wolf Blitzer did a solid job on reporting it too.

[redstateblues]

7. I saw that- It's all Obama's fault according to The Toad

[Achilleaze]

8. Todd fails regularly

He does not merit the trust of viewers.

[rockfordfile]

9. Don't forget Chuck Todd is the guy that represents their main "Sunday News Show" lol

Chuck Todd has zero credibility and just a hack.

[SamKnause]

10. CNN's New Day with Chris Cuomo and Alisyn Camerota

I watched Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

Alisyn never used the word hack or hacking.

She referred to the incident as meddling.

Over and over with each new guest she used the word meddling.

[TeamPooka]

36. Good

[Feeling the Bern]

13. Fuckie Toad proves he's grabasstic amoeba shit again

[spanone]

14. don't ever forget, that trump is on nbc, just like chuck....they're network mates.

NBC where meet the press meets the apprentice

[pangaia]

16. I seem to remember that just last week Chuck Todd was a hero around here for something..

YEA!! He's turned it around. FINALLY !!

Oh, my ! It's been so long I forgot what it even was...

[Akamai]

30. And never effing repeated! (Or maybe you had misremembered...)

[ProfessorGAC]

34. Didn't Hear It From Me

I learned, all the way back in the early 90's that Todd was an Atwater acolyte in his early career years. That would suggest he's never been trustworthy and his opinions always have a hidden motive. (Nefarious, as well.)

[pangaia]

40. I agree 100%.

I just remember he said something sensible for a couple of days. There were comments here about how surprised people were (of course) and now maybe he had seen the light.

HO HO HO !

[JHan]

19. Life's incontrovertible truths: the Sun is bright, Water is Wet and Chuck Todd sucks.

[LisaM]

22. Yeah, Chuck is not going to win any awards for investigative journalism.

I can't stand him, have hated him since the 2008 primaries.

[dogandturtlemom]

23. Jake tapper vs Chuck Todd

Chuck has always been a poor choice. He is not a critical thinker, he is poorly informed, he is lazy.

[whyzayker]

24. MSNBC celebrates 20 yrs

[TrollBuster9090]

25. Todd: Typical Chickens#!t "Please Don't Accuse Me Of Having A Liberal Bias" Journalist Response!

I guess because he's working for MSNBC he's peeing his pants in fear that somebody might accuse him of having a liberal bias. Hence the reason why CHRIS F-ING WALLACE usually asks Republicans tougher questions than Todd.

On the bright side, at least THIS didn't happen (as it usually does):

Tapper: "Trump asks why Democrats didn't raise question of Russian hacking before Hillary lost. Actually THEY DID."

Todd: "Trump asks why Democrats didn't raise question of Russian hacking before Hillary lost. DEMOCRATS CLAIM THEY DID."

[mountain grammy]

26. Chuck Todd.. useless.

[Backwoodsrider]

27. Chuck Todd their for us to compare other cable news hosts to

Compared to poor Chuck all the other cable news hosts look halfway decent

[niyad]

28. I heard the "only after HRC lost" crap as I was passing a tv. are we surprised at this bs? no,

of course not. are we surprised about chucky toad? no, of course not.

[Akamai]

29. Chuck Todd is a toady, lickspittle, sycophant. He has said on his show that he cannot ask difficult

questions. (You understand!) If he did so, he wouldn't get many guests.

If he were in the street and a bus was going to run over him, I might ask myself -- should I help him get out of the way? And then I might think: How long do I have to decide?

He is not often part of the solution but often part of the problem.

Nice suits! and I am sure, nice car! Nice salary! Move along! Move along! Nothing to see! Nothing to see!

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

31. Chuck Toddler, with the journalism skills of a 3 year old.

Pathetic.

[secondwind]

32. OMG, Chuck has lost it! I'll never listen to him again.... wtf?

[Greybnk48]

33. K&R n/t

37. Chuck

Todd is a toad

39. this is where the NBC gig comes into play.

Remember Matt Lauer's ridiculous foreign policy "grilling" on Clinton emails and total pass on Trump?

And there's,his ongoing relationship with JS...
