135. And NBC puts up an incomplete transcript missing many of the 'Syria' references, but with Todd's

Mon Sep 8, 2014, 10:00 AM

Sep 2014

false claim in:

http://www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-press/meet-press-transcript-september-7-2014-n197866

That has just one of the president's references in ("ISIL poses a broader threat because of its territorial ambitions in Iraq and Syria&quot before Todd puts in his prepared question that shows he wasn't listening. The most obvious, from 2 sentences before Todd's idiocy, isn't there. Perhaps the interview was edited before transmission, and the transcript is accurate for what went out. But in that case, they should have edited out Todd's gaffe too, rather than editing the interview to make it look like he hadn't talked about Syria much and leaving the accusation in.

Full video here - Syria discussed from about 7 minutes in, followed by Todd making a fool of himself.
