‘Meet the Press’ Disgrace: Sunday’s Exercise In Misinformation, Hypocrisy, and Hate

Sunday, in a single hour, the moral and factual disaster that was “Meet the Press,” revealed more about the insulated, echo-chambered, and factually-challenged DC Media than any subject the Sunday show covered.

For the past week, “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd and the National Journal’s Ron Fournier, have been publicly and sanctimoniously blasting away at what they’ve described, in so many words, as hateful and divisive rhetoric coming from the Republican presidential field.

Fournier is famous for demanding Republicans answer for what others say. Throughout much of last week, Todd used his daily First Read column and appearances on MSNBC to hand-wring over “the rhetoric.” Aping Fournier, Todd also jumped on Twitter to shame Republicans for not shaming Republicans. (By the way, Todd is factually wrong here about Trump’s “call” for a Muslim registry. He did no such thing):

When you only invite leftists on your show, it should come as no surprise that no one spoke out against this unconstitutional attempt to deprive law-abiding Americans of their rights. Rather than challenge Bratton or present the full context, Todd just let that comment stand.

Here are the facts: Without any due process, and using a process that the government has never fully explained, anyone can pop up on the government’s terror watch list. This means that without due process, if this gun ban were made legal, the government could summarily deny any American it chooses of their Second Amendment civil rights.

The idea that the DC Media and Democrats are in favor of such a thing is beyond chilling. Another fact not shared with the audience is, as the National Review’s Jim Geraghty points out, that Senator Ted Kennedy and the Weekly Standard’s Stephen Hayes have both been placed erroneously on that terror watchlist.

Todd is a leftist stooge.

“hateful and divisive rhetoric”
sounds like another day at the office for the Left.

Ain’t seen nothing yet, wait till the general whoever the democrat is will be all good, whoever the republican is will be all bad, that will apply with the entire media, FOX will show an attempt to be fair, but they will fail to be convincing.

I never watch that show, ever. But last night I happened to catch it on a rerun from earlier that day. Oh, my, God,,, it was a tour de force of propaganda.
There was a sarcastic moslem journalist who spent the whole time mocking anyone who worries about Islamic terrorism to the approval of the whole panel.

Then Todd stood up and gave a propaganda slideshow showing how refugees aren’t a danger at all. It was complete with fake stats.

Every point of the show treated avoiding “islamaphobia” as the obvious unquestioned goal that was the highest priority of all. That Kathleen Parker woman from the Washington newspaper fellated the moslem by asking him if he would arrange a meeting with the GOP candidates to ask them to stop being racist.

And when they mentioned Cruz and his “say it to my face”, they never breathed a word that Obama has been in foreign countries attacking US citizens and political opponents.

A shameful show if you watched it 35 years ago.

Jim Geraghty points out, that Senator Ted Kennedy ...... have both been placed erroneously on that terror watchlist.

Were it not for the fact that he is now keeping company with Beelzebub I can't see what's "erroneous" about it.

I quit TV 19May95 to save a few remaining brain cells, but the idiot tube was on this show yesterday at the laundry.

It ticked me off. Kool Aid, mouth-breathing idiots regurgitating lies created by the MSM.

I got a laugh today, though, right here on FR. STDs are on the rise among men having sex with men (MSM). I’m glad I’d finished my coffee.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Who cares, no one watches NBC.
