In reply to the discussion: Chuck Todd TARGETED By PETITION For Comments About Obamacare And The Media [View all]DallasNE
(7,998 posts)When someone confronted Chuck Todd a couple of days ago by questioning the role MSM has played in this Todd bristled that it is not the job of the media to point out and correct the false statements by either side and blamed Obama for not getting his message out. There Todd admitted that he is nothing more than a stenographer spouting right wing causes. Plus, it is MSM that decides what stenographic efforts get broadcast so while Obama can make available his message and when MSM broadcasts the message of Ted Cruz instead it throws the problem right back in Chuck Todd's lap and that is the role MSM plays in the lopsided coverage of what is presented to the American people. We're still waiting for your answer Chuck Todd. Remember the uproar in the Obama/Romney debate where Candy Crowley fact checked Romney on Benghazi. Crowley was called every name in the book and I don't recall Chuck Todd going to bat for Crowley's performance in that debate. No, MSM does not on a regular basis call out the lies. If they did there wouldn't be so many of them.
