NBC’s Meet the Press Libels The Gateway Pundit, Rush Limbaugh, Drudge, Infowars and FOX News for Spreading “Intentionally Bad Information”
Gateway Pundit ^ | Dec 29, 2019 | Kristinn Taylor

NBC’s Meet the Press and host Chuck Todd libeled The Gateway Pundit Sunday morning with a graphic prepared by NBC reporter Ben Collins that falsely labeled TGP of being part of a “chain of intentionally bad information”. Todd also slandered TGP in his question about the graphic.

".... the media have made themselves irrelevant...."

Roger that. We have President Trump to thank for exposing these knuckleheads.

NBC is America’s HQ for “intentionally bad information.” When I’m looking for IBI, I count on NBC.

F. Chuck Todd or is that Don Quixote?

“We are credible institutions according to us. We’ll tell you all what to think and if your not buying it, then you are ignoring the evidence. The evidence being that we have told you how awesome and truthful we are.

Trump colluded with Russia. We told you and you should forget we told you and were wrong because now it’s more important to know that everyone else who tells you we were wrong is ignoring the evidence.

Believe me, F. Chuck Todd, when I tell you that you can believe us this time about how the other guys are ignoring the evidence which comprises our awesomeness as supported by us. In short, we are the best us that we have ever met.”

Newspaper checks.
1. Balance of coverage
2. Disclosure of source
3. Competence of staff

What about good character and basic honesty of newspaper employees?

Chuck Todd is such an arrogant, cocky host of MTP, the complete opposite of his predecessor, Tim Russert, two was humble and gracious, when he passed away from a heart attack in 2008.

NBC damages themselves by keeping Todd on as host. He acts like he is the single source of credible news the American people should believe because....well....because he says so.

Todd is one of those guys who we used to say, thinks his own sh*t don't stink.

Money talks. Righteousness walks.

Hit them financially using widespread, never-ending defamation lawsuits.

Defamation is an area of law that provides a civil remedy when someone’s words end up causing harm to your reputation or your livelihood. Libel is a written or published defamatory statement, while slander is defamation that is spoken.

The 1992 Dateline piece you refer to was my wake up call regarding the mass media.

For younger readers, NBC at the time admitted to planting explosive devices and then blowing up GM pick up trucks in an attempt to prove they were dangerous.

I have questioned everything the mass media publish or broadcast since then.

NBC: Fake news headquarters since 1992.

I can cite chapter and verse of the LA Times, Boston Globe, NY Times, and other MAKING UP NEWS. FORGING or STAGING photos. CREATING quotes and witnesses out of thin air.

We can add to that having actual quotes such as the transcript of the President's call with the Ukrainian President but the media calling it into question as a "rough transcript."

Newsbusters reported on the segment and posted a partial transcript. Chuck Todd pressed establishment conservative Matthew Continetti of the Free Beacon on the Meet the Press smear of independent conservative media and Continetti responded by throwing everyone under the bus.

TODD: Matthew, I wanted you to address what I think is an ecosystem problem, at least on the right. I want to put up something that my colleague, Ben Collins, put here. It’s a bit of an ecosystem here. It’ll say, something starts on 4Chan. There’s the subreddit of Trump. InfoWars might pick it up. Then it starts inching into the mainstream. Gateway Pundit might just say, “Oh, what’s this about?” Then it gets to Drudge, might have a provocative headline link. Rush might say it in his fun, little way. Then it does make its way into Fox News and then, of course, your Facebook feed. How do you create more accountability in the conservative ecosystem for, basically, dealing with propaganda?

CONTINETTI: Well, it’s hard work. And I think it begins by trying to instruct young conservatives in the canons of journalism, mainly, empirical verification, right? And this, I think, the distrusted institutions, that’s longstanding among conservatives, has led many of them to no longer believe in the idea that you need, kind of, evidence, in order to forward a fact. Or they don’t believe in certain verified sources, credentialed sources, of evidence or information. They don’t trust any of it.

Further in his comments Continetti compares conservative outlets to the supermarket tabloids that feature articles about the space alien predicting the next president.

4 Chan? Drudge? Infowars? It’s pathetic that Todd is so ignorant of conservative thinking that he links such juvenile throwaways with real news. Fake News is too kind a word to describe the ignorance of Todd.
