Todd is a POS like so many of his deceitful colleagues.

The MSM is the Country’s greatest threat.

The media is just a glorified version of the old Yellow Journalists hollering from atop their soap boxes in the street.

Man, I need more of these truth bombs dropped on the elite socialist one worlder libtards.

I am starting to get spoiled. Almost makes me want to watch uniparty media just to see the reality fireworks.

Yes, i have coined “reality fireworks”.

Yes, the media has twisted the 1st Amendment just like they twist the ILLEGAL alien stories to be about “undocumented immigrants”.
They think the 1st amendment grants them elitist, protected status on the basis of their nasty profession. No, Chuck, the 1st amendment is not about YOU personally.
Good grief.

Milo is also a journalist, but somehow his speech is not sacrosanct like theirs is. Wonder why?

"And you know, the notion that the press is somehow specially protected by the First Amendment...that they have a special status, is ridiculous . ."

Um, the first amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;." or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

So they are singled out and that can be taken to mean that they do have a "special status."

Of course most of them are idiots and libtards but they are idiots and libtards with a special status because they are mentioned specifically in the first amendment.

Literally everything about our current media is “ridiculous”.

The news media operates in a world of double standards
but expects to be treated with reverence and respect.
They’ll get neither from me.

Sometimes it’s hard to see the trees through the forest, or something like that.

He has a GREAT POINT here - we’re not talking ‘censorship’, or ‘prior-restraint’, all we are talking about is BOTH SIDES (now) actually engaging in dialogue...maybe sounding silly at times, but still dialogue - that’s actually EXACTLY what the founders wanted.

When Trump starts to say that his Communications people need to clear articles before being published, then we even people like us will oppose him, as that is censorship. But if Trump wanted to do that, he’d already be talking about it - right now just firing back and mocking them is doing just fine.

Chuck Todd and his comrades should read and abide by their own Code of Ethics, particularly “Pursuit of the news is not a license for arrogance or undue intrusiveness.”
