An Exasperated Chuck Todd Grills Trump: 'You're Running for President! Your Words Matter!'
Mediaite ^ | 11/29/15 | Josh Feldman

Posted on 11/29/2015 8:05:34 AM PST by jimbo123

Chuck Todd once again confronted Donald Trump on Meet the Press and appeared to get more and more exasperated with Trump's false claim that thousands of New Jersey Muslims cheered on 9/11.

Todd pointed out that Trump has demanded "pinpoint accuracy" from the media--and at pretty much every rally Trump has called the press "dishonest"--and asked, "Why shouldn't we demand the same pinpoint accuracy in the claims that you make? Isn't it hypocritical of you calling us out if we're not calling you out when you stray from the truth?"

He repeatedly challenged Trump on that 9/11 claim, and Trump still insisted he saw it and bragged that many other people saw it happen and called/tweeted him to let him know that he's absolutely right.

Todd shot back, "That doesn't make it true!"

Trump said the cheering from Muslims happened "all around the world" so "why wouldn't it have taken place."

Uhhh...ummmm...this isn't 'How It Works Mr. Trump!' I am supposed to make charges against you, call you names and accuse you of 'Extremism' and 'Racism', and then you grovel before me and make a grandiose 'Apology.' OK? So, let's try this again....because you are not cooperating......

I saw this exchange this morning on Meet the Press. Chuck Todd was visibly upset and angry that Trump wouldn't listen to his crap.

I don't remember Chuck You Todd being in the same angry attack mode when he interviewed Hitlery, that lying b*tch.

Chuck You bias? It couldn't be more obvious and blatant.

It is delicious to watch Todd sting himself in the head over and over again. Wonderful!

Todd was weaker than usual today. Very irritated & flustered...at one point Trump had to tell him to calm down...lol! It’s starting to sink into these slimeballs that Trump may get the nomination & possibly win the presidency. The media is feeling helpless & they’re starting to have a meltdown.
It’s a beautiful thing.

Words matter?!

WORDS MATTER?!

Where the F*** are you about Hillary’s words? Obama’s words? Pelosi’s words? Reid’s words?

The fact of the matter is that you don’t care about “words that matter” only about “whose words matter”.

Well there was one Presidential candidate who said, “My Muslin faith” but MSM said those words don’t matter.

I don’t remember any reports about New Jersey to be honest but I very clearly remember reports about Dearborn, Michigan that the Muslim community there was celebratory so I don’t have any real doubts about the fact that this happened elsewhere throughout the country. I saw the Washington Post article and Trump mentions it to FChuck but FChuck doesn’t address it. I wonder why

Hey Chuck, we will show you the pictures of the dancing Muslims when you show us the picture of the tea party guy that spit on Pelosi and Cliburn.

And the reason there aren’t any pictures of the N.J. Muslims dancing is because the media censored those politically incorrect videos 14 years ago - ( before iPhones.)

Or the converse. If the MSM says it, it must be true.

with Trump's false claim...

The author of this article has made a false claim. He is making a statement that Trump lied...without any proof to verify his claim.

“...Trump’s false claim that thousands of New Jersey Muslims cheered on 9/11.”

Who is Josh Feldman** of Mediaite*** to say Trump’s statement is false? Can HE prove it’s false? Was he there? Why did he have to insert that word into his story? Gee, I really wonder why.

** *** Earlier Feldman pearls of wisdom: “The Daily Show fact-checked the Republican debate last night and agreed that it was definitely more full of substance because “bullshit is also a substance.” Another thin-resume millennial using ‘The Daily Show’ as a source.

***Mediaite is a news and opinion blog covering politics and entertainment in the media industry. It is the flagship blog of Abrams Media, a ring of blogs run by ABC legal analyst Dan Abrams .... “ en.wikipedia.org.

Need we know more?

The press lies everyday.

The press doesn't give a damn when a democrat lies.

And yet... if they sense even the smallest ‘problem’ from a conservative they go all apoplectic on us.

Shame on Chuck Todd and his unending double standards. Hey Chuck - ask Hillary about Benghazi with the same aires...

Just ONE of the great things that Donald Trump has already done for our country is to cut the strings and let slip the mask of pretend-objectivity that the U.S. media has proclaimed for itself for decades.

Here we see Chuck Todd, not in the roll of questioner, but someone in the roll of a debater, primarily because Todd can’t trap or embarrass or fluster Trump, so loses his cool as an “objective journalist” and simply starts to debate Trump.

This debate between the candidates and those who roll was supposedly to ask questions was even more apparent with the CNBC Republican debate.

And we now also routinely read main stream news articles in which they unabashedly describe overt media ATTACKS on particular candidates, though of course by OTHER outlets.

Donald Trump has indeed already changed the political narrative and has changed it in a significant way.
