NBC’s Chuck Todd: I Understand Why Network News Isn’t Covering Gruber [VIDEO]

Has the network news been neglecting the recent comments by MIT economist Jonathan Gruber? NBC, CBS and ABC haven’t covered the story a dozen times, leading to questions of media bias, but “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd offers an understanding of why this is the case.

[Snip]

“It’s a political story,” said Todd on Gruber’s comments. “Network news, in general, hasn’t be covering the political back and forth of Washington a lot lately."

[Zakeet]

We decided to quit covering politics after our Libtard idols became less popular than gonorrhea!

[Liz]

Oh please...the MSM’s not covering it b/c they agree w/ Gruber....to them lying and obfuscating is no big deal...they do it all the time.

“” “Network news, in general, hasn’t be covering the political back and forth of Washington a lot lately.”””””

And by “lately” they mean since obummer started campaigning in 2008.

Gruber: "Am I not the key architect of Massachusetts’ health reform?
the 19th most powerful person in health care in the United States
crowned by Modern Healthcare Magazine? and consultant to the Clinton,
Edwards and Obama Presidential campaigns? even toasted
by the Washington Post as “the party's most influential
health-care expert?”

Parrot: "You can only fool all of the humans some of the time
..... but you will always have Chuck Todd and the MSM."

Yeah. It’s just not newsworthy. The architect of O-care, who hates Americans and purposely scrtewed them to the wall with this anti American, anti Freedom BS just isn’t worth covering.

The secrets between O and Gruber on how best to extinguish workplace coverage so there’s only one place to go for insurance is like covering a cat stuck in a tree. Americans don’t care.

“It’s a political story and one that makes the President and the Democratic party look bad,” said Todd on Gruber’s comments. “Network news, in general, hasn’t be covering the political back and forth of Washington a lot lately, especially since Obama and the Democrats are looking worse in the eyes of anyone with multiple brain cells."

Made a few tweaks to interpret Todd.

As Rush Limbaugh pointed out yesterday, they have little interest in this, but let New Jersey keep a couple of lanes of the George Washington Bridge closed and you hear about it for months.

I remember Brain Williams reporting the story on Romney’s 47% remark in a private conversation so fast he was stuttering.

[skeeter]

Chuck Todd just following the love of his life's example - looking the public square in the eye and lie through his teeth.

These smarmy MSM phonies are truly beneath contempt.

[EBH]

The Press and their lies of omission...

[Travis McGee]

[OpusatFR]

Nobody I know bothers with MSM anymore. So in the immortal words (paraphrased) of Hillary Clinton, “What do they matter anymore?”

Other than AMC, I never watch TV.

[SoFloFreeper]

.....because their noses are buried in Obama’s bum.

[randita]

What happened to “it would be disrespectful to the President”? I guess that one didn’t fly very far, so on to the next excuse.

[InterceptPoint]

I really hate to be the one to point out that you are the winner of The Typo of the Year Award for 2014.

"I remember Brain Williams reporting the story on Romney’s 47% remark in a private conversation so fast he was stuttering." 😄

“Network news, in general, hasn’t be covering the political back and forth of Washington a lot lately.”

Yeah, for about 6 years or so eh, chuckie boy? .......What a jerk.

[EternalVigilance]

Bottom line is that they don’t want to admit that Gruber was right, that they are stupid.

[RetSignman]

“It’s a political story,”
++++
I haven’t watched Meet the Press in years but, evidently, they have changed it’s format to comedy.

[V_TWIN]

Thanks for putting that so delicately.
