An Exasperated Chuck Todd Grills Trump: 'You're Running for President! Your Words Matter!'
Mediaite ^ | 11/29/15 | Josh Feldman

Chuck Todd once again confronted Donald Trump on Meet the Press and appeared to get more and more exasperated with Trump's false claim that thousands of New Jersey Muslims cheered on 9/11.

Todd pointed out that Trump has demanded "pinpoint accuracy" from the media--and at pretty much every rally Trump has called the press "dishonest"--and asked, "Why shouldn't we demand the same pinpoint accuracy in the claims that you make? Isn't it hypocritical of you calling us out if we're not calling you out when you stray from the truth?"

He repeatedly challenged Trump on that 9/11 claim, and Trump still insisted he saw it and bragged that many other people saw it happen and called/tweeted him to let him know that he's absolutely right.

Todd shot back, "That doesn't make it true!"

Trump said the cheering from Muslims happened "all around the world" so "why wouldn't it have taken place."

“Paterson, an ethnically diverse city about 20 miles northwest of New York City, has one of the largest concentrations of Muslims in the United States outside of Dearborn, Michigan. While there are tensions that have approached outright hostility in the nearly six years since the September 11th attacks....”

Chuck Todd is the hypocrite, can you imagine him going after Hillary like this. She the one that is so despicable as to lie about a youtube video over flag draped coffins????

Looks like 30% of gop voters have acquiesced to the culture war.

It sure does, right now, anyway. It is so supremely ironic that finally the MSM has shot its credibility so low that they are rendered powerless in dealing with a candidate when that candidate lies. The R candidate can lie freely knowing the MSM's credibility is shot.

Or the converse. If the MSM says it, it must be true.

Pretty ironic, considering that "The Donald" Trump is a celebrity solely because he crafted it through MSM venues. The reason people think he's a brilliant businessman is because he's marketed himself that way through the MSM.

If he was famous because of his great business acumen, then the nine other real estate billionaires in the U.S. who outrank Trump (one is worth Trump x 4), would be really famous. Yet we've never heard of 'em.

The only reason Trump is famous is because he pursued notoriety. When folks trust what they perceive Trump to be, they're basically trusting the MSM -- and Trump's own word, of course.

Having grave doubts about Trump ...

... and thinking "the leftist is wrong"

... are wholly separate items. It is quite possible entertain both simultaneously.

I, too, saw muslims cheering in the streets...but wasn’t aware of the locality of these demonstrations - simply assumed it was coming from the middle east somewhere.

Don’t you wish Todd would use his enthusiasm to pursue Hillary’s felonies, her e-mail scandals, her husband’s serial raping tendencies but no let’s look at something that Trump said that thousands of people said happened.

Chuck Todd's not a journalist - he's a democrat operative posing as a journalists. It's NBC's way of lying to all of us...
