NBC News White House correspondent Chuck Todd today called U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice a "victim" of conservative "advocacy media" while addressing her decision to withdraw from consideration for secretary of state.
"She became victim of the attacks. ... and it was all driven, in many cases, by conservative outlets who were making her the center of the Benghazi story," Todd told MSNBC's Martin Bashir. "There were legitimate questions to ask about the Benghazi story, but the idea that she belonged in the center of those attacks never made a lot of sense. She sort of became a victim of this.
"It's too easy now in the way our media landscape is set up: You can become collateral damage in a hurry, in the way you can just get piled on whether it's Twitter, whether its advocacy journalism, talk radio. ... That's what she was. Make no mistake, she was political collateral damage," Todd said.

Susan Rice LIED!
Nothing qualified Susy rice — nothing except she was a liar for obammy. She is gone. Adios and good luck
If the attacks are unfair, defend her.
Oh, and Dumb Chuck, please don't forget to wipe your mouth off after the next interview (cough...cough) with Obama.
Is that the same UpChuck that Biden was talking to?
Oh, no. That was an honorable disabled veteran.
Chuck Todd is more like the “Sweeney Todd” of the movie.
If this is true, she is too stupid to be Secretary of State.
If this is NOT true, then something is rotten in DC.
First we have this woman going on not one, not two, but five Sunday talk shows which had to be arraged by someone in the White House, to present, nationwide, a cockamamy story, presumably provided by our intelligence agencies, which was totally false, as subsequently testified by the intelligence agencies themselves.
Then Barack Hussein indignantly blew his faux outrage claiming that she had "nothing to do" with the event! and, as a result, that she was unfairly attacked.
The regime can't have it both ways.
If she was too ignorant to address the issue, she should not have been ordered to attempt a very incompetent coverup.
Most informed citizens, with an IQ over 70, are incapable of accepting this gift from an alternate universe. Lies or incomptence. No other explanation is possible.
Clinton wanted Kerry. Ignored attacks were from Republicans - the ones’ that worked were from dems...
This was a means to get the heat off. I’m sure that she will be “taken care of” some other way, quietly, after she leaves the administration. So, Hillary probably won’t testify. But someday, someone will crack. It may be after 2016, but someone will - you can be absolutely certain of this - if for no other reason than to sell books. And I’m keeping a list of the enablers and apologists. Andrea Mitchell may be oblivious and sitting in her own urine by then, but Todd won’t be. No matter where he’s working, he will be Dan Rathered.
Basically, this deception threw the election.
Boo hoo hoo!
Yet it was the Senate RINOs who lined up against her, at least on TV. And some libs complaining about her too.
And those pukes will all line up for Thurstan Howell IV lib John Kerry for that same job.
If she was too ignorant to address the issue, she should not have been ordered to attempt a very incompetent coverup.
On this I would like to add that Rice had a choice to lie and coverup, or to reply: "FU Barack, I quit, do your own lying."
Only a subversive person of low moral and ethical character would follow those orders.
She's not fit to clean an American sewer, but she works in one anyway.
Dear Chuck,
Susan Rice went on national TV and lied.
1. There was NO DEMONSTRATION. That was an out-and-out lie.
2. The Intelligence Community KNEW that there was no demonstration and they KNEW that it was a terrorist attack.
We have been lied to. WHY?
ROTFLOL
Liberals killed her by her investment in Keystone pipeline
FU Chuckie T Odd. Last time I checked the US Senate was lilly white. No Conservative could stop the nomination with the white majority of ‘Rats and RINOs.. Plus Rice doesn’t have the US Senate pedigree.
President - former Senator
VP - former Senator
Senate majority leader - Senator
Senate minority leader - RINO Senator
Sec of State - former Senator
Obama used her badly and she loved it.
Chuck Todd and elementary school go together well. Here, all this time, I thought that Rice was a victim of her own incompetence and a corrupt, misguided administration. I guess that Todd overlooked the content of her character, her past history, and her propensity to error on the side of people not of the USA.
Todd likes playing the color of the skin, and victims from the Democrat/Marxist playbook, a bit boring I might add.
