NICE JOB Chuck! On Meet The Press "The Queen Of Obfuscation Speaks... But Says NOTHING...

FINALLY.. Legit JOURNALISM FOR ONCE! . Chuck Todd (NOT TOAD) in this case actually put the "Inevitable One" back on her heels!

He asked her about her meltdown.
.. No Answer just circuitous babble...

He asked her about TRANSCRIPTS... More diversionary babble...

He asked her about FBI inquiry... This one really stunned her...
You could sense with her the blood rushing either to her head or her feet!

So if people want a President who cannot and will not answer a question when put to her directly...


You have to wonder what it is they are looking for in a leader....

I am certain that the video will be available later today...

...looking for Hillary as his leader, obviously. Probably, he's looking for Kasich to defeat Sanders.

I am totally in your camp on Todd usually... as witness my Toad reference... However on THIS one occasion... He went after her legitimately pretty good! Watch the video! Will be up soon!

with the sound off. It can be very revealing.
So I might watch it when it comes online.

anyway

Thanks for watching TV and reporting on a show
most of us never watch anymore. Hell many don't even have a TV anymore. I catch all the MTP videos I chose to watch on the net.

can actually observe, blinking, normal breathing vs alarmed breathing, facial ticks, revealing hand gestures and many more non-verbal communication and content statement analysis techniques to give a systematic breakdown of the entire interview segment

Which why its nice to have the text too
So you can correlate the questions, answers and observation............

I immediately decoded many little propaganda streams on the screen. It was enlightening and now when I want to really see what the media/oligarchy's agenda is, I just mute the TV.

Except he did it with charm and a smile. I always knew he was avoiding the question, but somehow he made it seem like an answer.

Hillary tries, but she doesn't have the same temperament. It's not presidential in the least bit.

I have a hard time faulting her too much for that- it's a tick I tend to have myself. I think it's probably a "high on harm avoidance" thing. Otoh I'm not running for president.

When he says stuff less than isn;t favorable to YOUR candidate, then he is s ashill.

When he criticizes your candidates opponent? Legit journalism!

Confirmation bias. You interpret facts through your desired, pre-determined outcome.

So he was PROFESSIONAL RATHER THAN PROPAGANDIST... And He actually put Hillary SURPRISE! SURPRISE! ON THE SPOT! AND she was taken aback... Not the usual softballs! So yeah... I gave Chuck credit... Maybe I'll send him an email of congratulations!

I know Faux News. Except for Chris who really does host a much better show, I watch it rarely. Sometimes Media Buzz. Mostly CNN for ongoing watching. But it used to be MSNBC . . .

Even though she was TOLD not to do so. So like the Iraq war, she made another "mistake". Her motto is do it, and then ask for forgiveness.

"I'm the one who's done it, and I did it because I thought it was the right thing to do," she said

Liar liar pants on fire. I'm tired of lies.
