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.

clean up this mess or the Liberal Evil Democrats will destroy real America with the help of those who are here illegally.
*****************************************

A lot of this mess with those here illegally is the fault of Democrats in R jerseys.
George W. Bush refused to enforce the laws and borders.
Murkowsky, Heller, Hoeven, Heller, Hatch, Alexander, Corker, McCain, Flake, Graham and Rubio all voted for Rubio’s Gang of Amnesty bill.

Treason is not just for Democrats anymore.

In other words, they tried to collude with the DemocRats to get her elected.

I think that's exactly what he's admitting. But I don't think he understands that it's wrong.

In the same way -- although it may take months or years for him to recognize this -- the media is bending over backward to "get Trump". They are engaged in an all-out assault on the new President. But they don't think that's wrong. They don't think it's a miscalculation. They don't realize that MANY people are thrilled with everything Trump is doing.

But the day will come when Chuck Todd will say that the media knew Trump was a dynamic and successful president even before the inauguration but they "underplayed" it.

Is it bad of me to wish that Chuck Todd would spend the last 5 minutes of his life mangled in a ditch on fire?

If the name Chuck Todd appears, it’s FAKE.

Chuck Todd views himself as the reincarnation of Tim Russert.

Absolute proof that the Dems dreams are totally delusional!

No kidding. The dead giveaway was the media couldn’t pan the 30,000 crowds in stadiums at trump rallies, nor the primary school cafeterias at Hillary rallies where 40 people were roped in a small area. Meanwhile, Fox Snooze was reporting oversampled polls reporting Hillary’s favorability ratings were higher than Trumps.

He is an idiot. The story wasn’t how much she was “hated” in middle America. The story was how corrupt and incompetent she was. Middle America recognized this. They didn’t “hate” her.

Typical leftist thinking. Their opponents “hate” them while they never hate their opponents, they just think they are stupid or uninformed.

Nice work.

“And I think it was a fear of, ‘Oh, is it going to look like it’s sexist, anti-woman if we say that?’” he added, pointing out that on the hustings he saw numerous “Hillary for Prison” signs adorning the front yards of rural America.
Rural? Scranton... I-81 corridor, Pittsburgh suburbs rural? You and your peers colluded to help the DNC and HRC in particular.

Hey Valerie, can you make a phone call to that short reporter from NBC -- what's his name??

You mean, Chuck Todd?

Yeah, Chucky's the one. Tell him to come over so I can watch him lick my boots one last time?

1. Trump winning
2. Not getting invited to the best DC/NY cocktail parties.
3. Getting whacked by the Hillary campaign.

“We were more likely to do a story about the Dreamer that might get deported with new policies than we were about the 19-year-old opioid addict who feels hopeless in Rolla, Missouri. He couldn't resist a cheap shot at people from "flyover country" could he?

Hatred is not important. The fact that her “rallies” were poorly attended flops with a few seat fillers was something they were also 100% sure to know.
