But, But, But...My 'Bread n Butter' Is PROMOTING REPUBLICAN LIES [View all]




Let me recap exactly what Chucky said on Sunday’s MTP:

“We all sit there because we all know the first time we bark is the last time we do the show,” Chuck Todd said. “… All of a sudden, no one will come on your show.”


So, correct me if I’m wrong, but is Chucky saying that if he doesn’t allow his political guests to outright lie without calling them out, no one will come on his show?

Why would he care if lying republicans refuse to come on his show simply because he won’t allow them free reign to lie? If Democratic politicians are booked on MTP and stick to the truth and facts, republicans can either stay away without rebuking Democratic claims or statements or they can face the storm and come on the show with a new understanding that truth and facts rule.

Sounds like real journalism and a hard lift for Chucky.
