MSNBC’s self-crowned political referee, Chuck Todd, appeared to throw in the towel on enforcing D.C.’s political rules, or at least the journalistic ones. During the first segment of Monday’s MTP Daily, Todd and two of his panelists, Brian Karem and David Folkenflik, whined about how the media was expected to be impartial with President Trump attacking them. “But look, two generations of us as reporters. We're trained and conditioned to don't show emotion, we're the umpires and the referees.” Todd claimed. “When somebody is insisting on making you the story, what do you do? … I struggle with it.”
It was clear that Todd didn’t know how to be an unbiased reporter as he opined about how he and other journalists weren’t trained to deal with Trump’s “moral failings.” “Somebody tweeted that journalists today were never trained to cover moral failings very well. And in some ways, this is what makes this more difficult,” he told his fellow partisans. “We're not good with having to say what's right and wrong sometimes because again, we have been trained to be dispassionate and the umpire.”

Wow, this guy is just so full of himself it is unbelievable.
Within Todds group hug the guy says,
“You [Todd] and I, we’re trained on the idea of being down the middle and scrupulously impartial,..”
So true. We saw this in the 90s with Bill Clinton. The journalists seemed to have no training in covering a serial rapist who also used his position of authority to take advantage of around intern. Clinton's moral failings confused the journalists so much that they decided not to cover it and just to pretend that he was A-OK in every aspect.
around = a young
I hate autocorrect.
Oh, the Media is impartial all right.....just ask any Leftist! I once remarked to a Leftist friend that Tim Russert was biased and she was shocked I would say that. I pointed out that she didn’t realize his bias as she AGREED with his bias. She was speechless. No,she didn’t agree even after I pointed it out. But then, Leftists are always correct too, aren’t they??
Shouldn’t Chuckie be throwing another house party for the dim elites?
totally deluded
See tag-line.....
Poor Chuck Todd. He’s so hopelessly out-of-date, even in his hypocrisy. Journalists aren’t supposed to be “down-the-middle” anymore. That’s so passé. Just ask the editorial staff at the NYTimes.
When were they ever down the middle? Nixon, Reagan?
These jerks started it! They are merciless in their attacks on POTUS DJT.
Now they act like innocent victims.
UpChuck Toad is the umpire in the media’s rigged game.
I was going to point out that while Monica may have been “full figured”, she really wasn’t round. Thanks:=)
MSNBC would be the Wartburg of cars, and CNN would be the Yugo.
For those not in the auto know, these two had the reliability of Dan Rather the design integrity of Windows.
I hate autocorrect as well. Where did that “Thanks” come from?
These people are delusional. They are paid millions of dollars to tell people what to think. They believe they are intelligent but have record breaking low SAT scores.
LOL! He doesn't seem to realize they failed miserably in that "training"....
” “When somebody is insisting on making you the story, what do you do? … I struggle with it.” “
It depends Chuckie - did YOU insert your opinion - instead of simply reporting the facts?
IOW - there wouldn’t be no egg if there weren’t no chicken.
