NBC News' Chuck Todd Mocks FReeper Over Media Bias Charge

NBC News reporter Chuck Todd mocked this FReeper on Twitter tonight for my pointing out that the media would rather lose money than cater to conservative consumers of news. The conversation started over a comment by Slater reporter Dave Weigel on media bias in polls:

Do people actually think news networks would pay for unreliable polls with bad samples b/c they love Obama so much? Don't answer that.

I replied: News media has deliberately alienated conservatives, willfully losing money to further liberalism. Skewed polls just a part.

Weigel retweeted my comment with a slight modification to his 75,849 followers: MT @KristinnFR: Media has deliberately alienated conservatives, losing money to further liberalism. Skewed polls just a part.

Chuck Todd chimed with his comment that went to his 245,862 followers: that is some "logic"; so our corporate parents deliberately want us to lose money? N-V-T-S nuts nuts nuts (N-V-T-S is a Ron Carey reference from the Roman Empire section of Mel Brook's film History of the World Part One.)

I replied to Todd: Newsweek. Sold for a buck to keep it out of conservative hands.

Someone else asked for empiracle evidence. I told him: Proof is in market place. Conservative radio, internet, news empires built to meet demand eschewed by MSM.

You should have made fun of his front comb over hair.

F Chuck Toad’s polls are fake but accurate. Just ask Dan RaThEr.................

Good work, kristinn. You’re long overdue for another FReeper award.

True, I read the local mouth piece for the rat party at my sons house in Haverhill, Mass. 16 Pages 4 of news and filler, mostly Police report, 3 of school happenings, rest classified, and a couple of inserts.

Years ago, Ten, they did 30 pages with real content, propaganda, for the local rats. I don't see them around much longer, nothing there.

FUCT!

Whenever the news is bad for Obama, Todd is famous for tweeting sports scores. And then get back to regular programming of slamming Romney/GOP.

"You should have made fun of his front comb over hair."

His mug reminds me of the south end of a north bound alpaca.

OK, Mr. Todd, take an NBC poll that uses +R15...you know, just to show how even and balanced you are after all the crap-rat oversampling you've touted.

that is some "logic"; so our corporate parents deliberately want us to lose money? N-V-T-S nuts nuts nuts

1.) Is Chuck Todd admitting that news outfits' corporate parents DO manipulate the news for profit?

2.) It's perfectly reasonable for a company to willingly suffer a loss in one product or segment in order to profit elsewhere. Large corporations profit from fascist statism that subsidizes them and protects them from free market competition. They would happily lose some ad revenue in their news divisions in exchange for that.

Look these aged 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus psycho spoiled brats and their bratty ideological issue are the very ones Tom Wolfe wrote about in Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers.

They are the flak chuckers.. today masquerading as fact checkers; they are who Lincoln described watching us from "the other side"

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. "A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

Lapdog Chuck Todd is having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day

[Red Steel]

F. Chucky, of course the pollsters are going to tell you what you want to hear, especially pollsters for PMSNBC. They are employed by fanatical liberals [you] and they are very likely liberals themselves.

If Limbaugh didn't bring him up from time to time, I'd never know he existed.

Why would I? What can NBC teach or show anyone other than progressive dogma and propaganda?

Screw them and their sponsors. I don't need or want any of them and won't knowingly support them in any way.

I think Kristinn and the rest of you who go after all these mainstream media libs on Twitter are great. Keep up the good work.

I did follow F Chuck Todd on twitter up until last weekend when he was going over the top ripping Rommey for his Libya comments. You remember, the ones that lost him the election before his secret video comments this week that lost him the election. These of course are before he has his first debate, that the media will pronounce lost him the election next week.

You are correct that Todd starts tweeting sports crap on days where Obama is having a bad news cycle. Challenge him to report on POTUS when he starts in with the sports crap.

You make a good point. They don’t even try to compete for the conservative audience.
