Wednesday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” host Chuck Todd defended CNN after they retracted a report on Russia and three staffers resigned.
Todd said the White House’s “war on the media” is a “war on the truth.”
Partial transcript as follows:
TODD Welcome back. Tonight—well, not just tonight—but I’m obsessed with the White House’s war on the press and on media. Let’s be clear about this, that war is nothing less than a war on the truth. Do we get it right all the time? Nope, we don’t. And when we don’t, we run a correction, and in some cases, people lose their jobs. That’s what just happened at CNN. CNN took responsibility for its mistakes. At this network, we’ve done it quite a few times publicly as well. But because we try to get it right. We take what we do seriously, because trust, viewers and readers’ trust is all we have, and without that we’re nothing. We all know we get fired for not telling the truth. And of course that’s the point, isn’t it? Of course, the White House attacks, delegitimizes the media to create running room for its version of events. It’s as old as media itself. The White House is not above using anonymous sources to criticize the use of anonymous sources. Nor to promote what it admits could be a lie to call others liars. Here’s Sarah Huckabee Sanders attacking CNN in an unbelievable way. Take a listen.

TODD: Excuse me? You got that? I don’t know whether it’s accurate or not, but go take a look at it because it disgraces you? Seriously? And that’s been this White House’s M.O. Pedal a false story to claim the media is telling false stories...

It’s as if every member of the MSM has received a soul transplant from Dan Rather.
Indeed!
....We all know we get fired for not telling the truth. And of course that’s the point, isn’t it...
However, Chuck still being there makes this statement a lie too.
Hey Chuck, you have a war on news. You keep playing olds. We want news.
Dish Network now offers a package that excludes CNN.
F Todd.
In the words of Rush; Up Chuck Todd. This guy is terrible, he’s in the bag for the left, and I really, really hate just watching and listening to him. He tries so hard to be relevant. Not working.
That's a good start.

NBC’s Chuck Todd Defends CNN —
Assholes of a feather stick together.
Neither Chuck nor the MSM have any concept of “truth”.
They think that if you don’t believe in gravity you should be able to float.
Todd - “A good lie to defend fake news entities is called for so I’ll supply it”...
“Todd just trying to be relevant.”
Chuckie is still suffering from humiliation knowing NBC’s first choice to host Meet The Depressed was Jon Sewart, a frickin’ comedian.
NBC is #FakeNews.
