Chuck Toad ponders the meaning of existence

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."

I gotta be careful how I say this...
No, I'm not gonna say it. We have rules around here and there's no polite way of saying what I'm thinking this guy and others like him are in for if things get ugly.
There, I didn't say it.
“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.”
Really?!

We’ll talk exclusively with @SecBurwell. Is Obamacare working? Is the administration lowering expectations for open enrollment?

Those very red maps of the new House are fun, but you can fit Manhattan into North Dakota 2094 times. And Manhattan has more people.

So Republicans will have basically paid no political cost for the shutdown.
I started watching a while back, my Dr. told me it would be therapeutic to scream at the tv at the top of my lungs once a week.
Todd: I understand why the network news isn’t covering this.
We understand too, buttboy.
They still are stuck on Bridgegate...
Why would anyone watch this clown?
“our Libtard idols became less popular than gonorrhea! “
Clap! Clap!
Exactly right! In actuality, the MSM uses many of the same propaganda tactics employed by Gruber. They also share his elitist and condescending attitude. Gruber and the MSM hava a lot in commmon. They are fellow travellers.
Sure, that’s it.
They’re not covering it because it’s harmful to Dhimmicraps adn top “progressivism”. That’s why, Chuckie Boy. And Chuckie Boy knows it.

What, you mean the millions of taxpayer $$$ they'll end up with? We keep talking about the fit hitting the shan, the spark that's gonna bring on the end, when things get ugly, but the fact is, they got it under control, and for their power and glory. You and I are just peasants. We'll continue squabbling for the scraps from Longshank's table, because it's the easy route. To do otherwise would require entirely too much sacrifice.
No, I didn’t say anything on any subject.
Pssst. It's a Cockatoo.
Bottom line is that they don’t want to admit that Gruber was right, that they are stupid.
Here’s a song for Obamamedia and the Demoncrats.

Chuck Todd: “Network news, in general, hasn’t be covering the political back and forth of Washington a lot lately.”
IMHO this is obviously arather transparent lie, although I would be willing to believe that the MSM networks outside of FOX News have spent much more time on Kim’s ass than on Gruber in the last 7 days.
IMHO the reason the MSM networks have not covered Gruber is not just because of bias but because they did not have a DNC-approved counter-spin visual— a response from the WH (preferably Obama, since Gruber’s primary relevance is that he worked for— and therefore in the public eye, his name is tied to— the Obama Administration).
Of course, the best strategy for bad political news is to delay as much as possible, to take advantage of the short political attention span of the average voter. Obama was able to evade questions until the press conference at the end of the G20 summit meeting in Brisbane, Australia on Nov. 17.
Once the TV network MSM had its classic non-denial denial clip from Obama, it used it to slant Gruber as irrelevant (in addition to being old) news.
All of this is perhaps fairly predictable if one starts from the premise that the MSM TV networks are liberally biased. However, IMHO it does give some black box insight as to the inner workings of (liberal biased) MSM TV network editor room decision making in action.
In the MSM, the TV networks are the gatekeepers, and dictate what radio and print cover by sheer economics.
The existence of such blatant liberal MSM bias across the board is not exactly a surprise to informed people. Still it is disappointing to see it exhibited so flagrantly. How these guys can look in the mirror every day is something quite beyond me...

“Network news, in general, hasn’t be covering the political back and forth of Washington a lot lately."Oh, but wait, Chuckles -- I thought the 2014 campaign was all about Republicans not talking about issues! Turns out, the PMS (Partisan Media Shills) were avoiding issues like the plague.
