NBC’s Chuck Todd: Media knew how ‘hated’ Hillary was in heartland and we ‘underplayed’ it

NBC’s Chuck Todd confessed that he and others in the mainstream news media played down just how despised Hillary Clinton was in the heartland due to the fear of appearing “sexist.”

What’s more, he admitted, the mainstream media failed to “tell the stories of all Americans.”

“Where I think political correctness got in the way of what we all knew as reporters and didn’t fully deliver was how hated the Clintons were in the heartland,” the “Meet the Press” host admitted Thursday to former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer in a interview for the “1947” podcast.

Folks had better be careful when the News Media go to becoming honest.They covered up for Obama for the same reason they did Hillary. He says they thought it was sexist to tell the truth like they thought it was racial to tell the truth about Obama.
Obama spent his tenure trying to cut white people out. Read the book Clean House by Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch.Obama tried to circumvent the law on voting,crime and everything else he could to destroy the White Community. If you think I am wrong read it the proof is there.
We must support Trump and clean up this mess or the Liberal Evil Democrats will destroy real America with the help of those who are here illegally.

People in Marion County, Arkansas, have nothing good to say about the Clintons. The White River is the Northern boundary.

The bigger story is how he is ham stringed by PC etc in fear of being called and “-ist” or practicing an “ism” rather than cover the facts like an old fashion gum-shoe. Can you say Cultural Marxism? A High School Cub Reporter could have gone to a Trump Rallye and seen something big was going on and written about it in the school paper, NBC didn’t have the cohones to even state the obvious, or were they in the tank for a certain candidate? Nah, no bias at all in the media.... Are titans of various forms of media rolling over in their graves over his statement and what has happened to their craft?

The Heartland hated the GOPe, the Dems, the establishment, the MSM, the bureaucracy and virtually all political critters.

Oh BS. This guy is a running dog for the DNC as are all members of the MSPropaganda System. The press didn’t fail to do anything. They supported Cankles as they were ordered todo by their boss, Soros.

I call bovine excrement on you Chuckie. It wasn’t political correctness that prevented you from reporting it; it was outright collusion with the HRC campaign. You know she was widely reviled and you know your reporting of that would hurt the campaign. Quit with your revisionist history like AlGore rewriting his predictions about the global warming scam.

It's nice of F Chuck to admit that political correctness shapes the news, in this case a presidential campaign.

Let their tongues remained tied.

It may not be fake news. The Hillary Clinton campaign really hoped that the urban areas would carry the day, but when she essentially lost nearly all of flyover country, the Left is still trying to grasp why it happened.

Like I said several times, everyone LOVES Bill Clinton; his wife, a lot of mixed feelings.

So they were willing to get a bitch elected rather than incur the wrath of the left?

So Chuck Todd admitted that he, along with the rest of the corrupt MSM, intentionally lied and misled the American public out of cowardice and fear. They are utterly worthless. And exactly why should we believe them now — or ever?

Wait- I thought Chuck Todd and all his sycophants said Trump won because of Russian intervention in the election, not because of anything having to do with hiLIARy?

Ha.

In October I drove from Massachusetts to Tennessee and back. Once I got outside of MA and onto the PA highways, I didn’t see more than one or two Hillary signs. It was all Trump. I knew it was going to be much closer than the MSM wanted us to believe.

The MSM and the dims cast off and set sail on a leaky sinking ship with hellary. The amazing part is that they got as far and were as successful as they were. Anyone with 2 brain cells could see that hellary was a horrible candidate on multiple levels and was completely propped up by the scumbag media.

We don’t need the ‘stories’ told to us, a lot of us here on FR LIVED the Clinton years...all of them, day after day, month after month, year after year of the slime they produced...

When you live something, you know the truth and this is why we as Joe Citizen do not believe anything your producers of propaganda write...We LIVED it, we SEEN it, we WATCHED it on the T.V. all the time...

Take your jackass self and go away!!!

Too little... too late...

It’s NOT honest to admit you were dishonest, after it doesn’t matter any more.
