114. What's funny is that when she attacks Todd for offeering his opinion about the Spicer presser

as being ridiculous, she is actually saying just what Todd himself said when asked why he didn't push back against Right Wing lies. Todd said it wasn't the press's job to say whether the interviewee was lying or telling the truth!

During a segment on "Morning Joe," former Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) speculated that most opponents of the Affordable Care Act have been fed erroneous information about the law. Todd said that Republicans "have successfully messaged against it" but he disagrees with those who argue that the media should educate the public on the law. According to Todd, that's President Barack Obama's job.

"But more importantly, it would be stuff that Republicans have successfully messaged against it," Todd told Rendell. "They don't repeat the other stuff because they haven't even heard the Democratic message. What I always love is people say, 'Well, it's you folks' fault in the media.' No, it's the President of the United States' fault for not selling it."

Later he tweeted that he didn't mean to not to call out lies, but of course that is exactly the effect of not calling out lies because you don't think it's your job to do so:
