(561 posts)32. Morning Joe was chummy with Trump through May 2016...
It was great for ratings I'm sure. Sometime in June 2016, Morning Joe took a hard left and within weeks, Trump was trashing the show while FOX reality TV, was building Trump up. Now here we are three years later and Trump is trashing FOX for reporting news while Trump Truthers are now encouraged to get their Cult feed from right wing nut web media outlets.
It's way past time for NBC to do their job and report what's really going on. With respect to shows, Rachael Maddow can improve her show by not being so giddy when serious shit is discovered. Lawrence O'Donnell and Brian Williams have been pretty consistent.

OP
Todd was chosen to director for the very reason that he can be easily manipulated.

It took well over a year into Trump's presidency for the media to call a lie a lie.

What's worse is that this isn't new, it's not something that suddenly sprang up with Trump

Thanks for that. I've read 'gaslighting' and thought I understood it. This gives clarity.

Chuck Todd has, to me, always been a bit suspect and more than a bit of a disappointment.

It is, and we have to recognize that that's part of what they want. And get tough.
