Trump's toadie

United States Attorney General Todd Blanche said he's “not going to pledge” complete independence from the White House during an interview with NBC's “Meet the Press” on Sunday. It comes as the Justice Department has faced accusations of political dealing on the president's behalf.

If you're laughing with a Neo-Nazi, you have zero credibility

$100 to anyone that goes Meet The Press🙄🙄 & has the balls to call out Kristin Welker laughing it up with Stephen Miller at that bullshit WHCD. Seriously at what point do we admit that they are part of the problem?

Snowflakes falling in Wisconsin

WOW - Trump crashes out & cuts his interview w/ Welker short as she presses him on his lack of evidence for claiming elections are rigged "You're either crooked or you're stupid. I've had enough. Thank you darling," he tells her" "I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she pleads

Big Beautiful Bill...for rich people

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

Meet the Fascist Enabler

No. You are covering this election against the backdrop that one of the candidates uses threats, intimidation and violent rhetoric to incite his followers as he has done many times in the past. This once-great show is utterly unwatchable. https://t.co/jg5DuFLeyo

A massive embarrassment for NBC

Meet the Press...I really hoped for the best. But it serves as proof that most corporate media isn't built for this fight against fascism, not made for this moment, and they just don't have the skill set to take on right-wing authoritarianism & lies. They haven't learned a thing.

And the new Meet the Press host is already toast

"Kristen Welker to Interview Trump For Meet the Press Launch." Nothing like kicking off your new political show with a man who attempted a coup and incited the Jan 6 attack. It's as if corporate media wants FASCISM. Plus she will lose liberals forever. https://t.co/trs3MgQuLO

Millions of us are not entertained

When you turn on the TV and see a bunch of people talking, that isn't news.

News = facts.

You are being entertained not educated.

We are currently experiencing a disinformation disruption.

People are bombarded with opinions and speculation and sensational headlines.

Another failure from our complicit media

As always all the attention goes to the crybaby Americans who’d whine and shoot guns, and whether they should be given veto power over rule of law, none to the substantial majority that would party in the streets if Trump faced a small measure of justice. https://t.co/7xpA1plYWd

They'll probably get it when they're watching our state-run media while they're flipping burgers

Journalists still need to come to grip with the fact there are no longer two legitimate governing parties. This means stop acting as if the Republicans are working to serve the interests of the country.

About as credible as astrology

Every single political reporter knows the guy is off his rocker and unfit for office, and speaks frankly about this in private! Editors don't realize how they're tanking their credibility by refusing to be transparent about this.

The New York Times is already buying into their bullshit revisionism

The entire nat sec policy conversation about this is a farce. Every GOP supported and continues to support a Prez who *at the most generous read* idolized Putin and consistently tried to pls him by pursuing policies most treat as clearly damaging to US interests. All a joke. https://t.co/HAJBrtYy3C

More media lameness, this time from Meet the Press

Going, going, gone?

Thankfully, people have the power because journalism is no help at all

While much has been made of Donald Trump's lies (and what a surprise that was) while he was being interviewed by NBC's Chuck Todd on Meet the Press this past weekend, not nearly enough has been made about Todd's facile response to said lies and his simplistic follow-up questions.  Todd's performance was nothing less than embarrassing.

In fairness, I've always thought Chuck Todd was to journalism what raw liver is to a chocolate sundae, but still you'd think a journalist with national presence could manage to do a little better than to cower before an impotent leader and mail his performance in.

Pitiful.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Chuckles

So...Chuck Todd (perfectly understandable if you're reaction is "Who?") has written a book called The Stranger in which he takes potshots at President Obama.

Leaving aside the fact that the Meet the Press moderator must have only read the Cliff's Notes version of Albert Camus' esteemed novel, why is anyone surprised by this?  The only people who read books like this are either a) insiders, or b) old white people (probably the same ones who are the only people to actually watch his show).  For insiders, it reinforces their world view of Obama; old white people voted against him overwhelmingly twice and it will only reinforce their hatred of the President.

Todd didn't set out to write a Pulitzer winner--he set out to make money.  Hatin' on the Democrats is a (minor) lottery winner.

Just ask Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, ad nauseum.

Whither journalistic curiosity?

The NSA spying revelations really aren't my forte (not that anything else I write about is, but you know...) but I found it quite interesting that Mike Rogers (R-MI)--my very own Congressman--Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), and Rep. Mike McCaul (R-TX) all were on Meet the Press and This Week with George Stephanopoulos this past weekend pushing the idea that Edward Snowden must have had help with the NSA leaks (most notably, from Russia) without producing a single shred of evidence to prove it so (in fairness to Feinstein, she at least admitted as much).

Both David Gregory and Stephanopoulos questioned the allegations--which to me seem of a bombshell type nature--but both seemed quite content to let the matter drop without pushing much harder than a dried leaf does against the wind.

What...the...fuck?  Really?  Three members of Congress make wild ass claims about foreign governments helping to leak our very own NSA information on national TV news shows and not one of these journalists jumps up and down like a fucking monkey screaming "Proof!  Proof! Proof!"

Thank God these fuckers weren't around during Watergate--Nixon probably would have been able to circumvent the Constitution and win a third term as President.

Amateur Hour

Wow--how to do major damage to your political bona fides in just a few short minutes.  Well done, Mayor Cory Booker!  At the start of today, you were a rising star in the Democratic Party, but after appearing on Meet the Press and calling President Obama's attack ads on Mitt Romney's record at Bain Capital "nauseating" you've pretty much lost the base--permanently.  You can't be a progressive on some issues and not on the ones that matter most--mainly looking after the 99%--and expect our support.  That's exactly the problem we have with the "Liberal" media.

I have no doubt you'll probably move on to bigger and better things--but today you've cost yourself a lot of money over the years (the base donates) and quite a few votes (the base shows up in huge numbers).  But even more important, you've lost their hearts.  We fight a lot harder when we believe.

Nice try on walking back those "nauseating" comments you made--when you end up as republican fodder for Willard's campaign, it's way too little, way too late.
