Chuck Todd: I'm "Upset" That People Would Use Journalism As A "Political Tool"
RCP video ^ | 10-13-2017 | Ian Schwartz

MSNBC: McKay Coppins joins to discuss his piece in the Columbia Journalism Review on the future of "journalistic integrity" and the partisan press. Coppins said the right wants to get rid of the mainstream media and non-partisan journalism.

Todd said the right wants to report news through a "bought reporter."

"Who do they serve? In their mind, are they serving a leader, a political movement? Or are they trying to serve citizens? This doesn't look like an attempt to serve citizens. It looks like an attempt to only serve the lead propagandist," Todd observed.

“Journalism” has been a political tool for at least 40 years and has been wielded by the left with great effect.

It’s always been a political tool!
All the way back to Peter Zenger to Frenuau’s National Gazette to Hamilton’s papers.

TV hacks like Todd want to preen and priss about themselves being the arbitrators of political ethics and morality. Claim they are far superior in their understanding of such things then the common man, when they are demonstrably by their actions not!

All TV journalists/hacks are, are entertainers! Entertainers who can’t, sing, dance, do comedy or drama! All they can do is read from a teleprompter and show a false knowledge & sincerity to the TV. The minute their ratings fall, they fall. Look at Megyn Kelley!

Todd’s familiarity with Hamilton is the Broadway show of the black Hamilton version.
