On Sunday's Meet the Press on NBC, host Chuck Todd made the laughable claim that he’s a journalist who “deals in facts” during a heated back and forth with Wisconsin Republican Senator Ron Johnson on the congressional investigation into President Joe Biden’s drug addict criminal son Hunter Biden. Anyone familiar with Todd’s journalistic track record will realize how absurd his comment was.
“I take it at your word that you’re ethically bothered by Hunter Biden,” Todd said to Johnson to which he shot back “are you not?”
“I’m a journalist. I have to deal in facts. Senator my question to you is, I have skepticism of both parties. I sit here with skepticism of a lot of people's work,” Todd said with a straight face.
Was it “deal[ing] in facts” when Todd claimed that bringing in more migrants will solve our nation’s inflation problem?

Chuck Todd a journalist who deals in facts?! ROTFLMAO!
I sure am glad we didn’t lose Johnson in the election
I’m glad someone watches Todd’s pathetic show So millions don’t have to.
He’s inviting Republicans on there to try to stem the ratings freefall, but he just beclowns himself.
The Only reason Chuck U. Todd is a “Urinalist” is because nobody else would hire him. He’s FOS.
Fake news doesn’t even have to circle the wagons - they stay circled around their butt buddy President Retard all the time
I would not call that passive-aggressive. I'd call that patronizing.
Smarmy bastard, Todd is.
While in college, Todd worked for the 1992 presidential campaign of Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa)
I still wish Ron would have run for gov instead. He would have won. Trump’s pick cost us another 4 yrs of having a blue gov despite a very red legislative branch. Ironically, preventing election reforms that would have helped Trump in 24.
Regardless, Ron has been a good US Senator for us in WI.
Ron Johnson isn’t the problem. Chuck Todd is the problem and the people who pay him.
Todd was a democrat operative... now he’s a propagandist who can do math but relies on his ‘feelings’... That’s not a journalist,
I prefer F. Chuck Todd
If Chuck U. Todd is such an esteemed “jounalist”, why does Meet The Depressed come on at 5am or 6am in many major markets?
Dealing with facts?
Is it like cards Chuck? You discard three facts and the Dealercrats provide you three fresh lies from the deck?
“NBC’s Todd Claims He’s a ‘Journalist’ & ‘Deals in Facts”
Trump mocks Chuck Todd’s appearance, Russia reporting in Saturday morning tweet
On NBC’s “Nightly News” on Friday, Todd discussed the Russia investigation and said Trump’s unsubstantiated claim that President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower created “all of the current problems for this West Wing.”
“I think the biggest problem here is you have the president not wanting to accept the conclusion that Russia tried to interfere in the election and that there is going to be an investigation in this, whether he likes it or not,” Todd said. “The source of all of the current problems for this West Wing right now, for this presidency right now, all stems from that tweet where the president accused President Obama of wiretapping him.”

Sen Johnson is one of 2 or 3 in the Senate that is worth a damn, but an interview like this is where Pres Trump was able to to earn some of his keep
He would have gone after Todd and crushed him with facts.
Not hard to do if you have the information to respond with and the aggressiveness to go after someone.
Conservatives need to learn how to argue or respond well to the “reporter hacks”. The media wants to stoke controversy to get better ratings. Learn how to respond to their provocative techniques with knowledge and class.
Supposedly, a political enemy of Churchill rubbed Churchill’s bald head and exclaimed,” Your head feels as smooth as my wife’s bottom”. Churchill responded by rubbing his own head, and replied, “You’re right, it does!”
We need more of that.
I would not call that passive-aggressive. I'd call that patronizing.
When anyone begins a sentence with "Look," or "Listen," I become immediately suspicious.

Joe Biden: ‘We Choose Truth Over Facts’.
The media lap dogs all peddle their agitprop.
Meet depressed is now down to less than 2.4 million viewers, when it once drew over 30 million {before cable}.
I realize that prior to cable, and with basically only 3 choices, that the Sunday talk shows were big time draws, but Chuck Todd is really a ratings loser.
I cannot watch any Sunday political talk show {with the rare Maria viewing} so I haven't seen anything of Todd {other than a rare utube clip}, but he has always been a pompous asshole.
