NBC admits Chuck Todd's 'Meet the Press' deceptively edited Barr remarks on Flynn
Fox News ^ | May 10 2020 | Gregg Re

Posted on 05/10/2020 11:00:37 PM PDT by knighthawk

NBC News' Chuck Todd aired a deceptively edited clip of Attorney General Bill Barr discussing the Michael Flynn case during his "Meet the Press" broadcast on Sunday, prompting the network to concede the mistake hours later -- but there is still no word on whether Todd will apologize on-air.

Asked by CBS News' Catherine Herridge how history would judge the DOJ's decision to move to dismiss the Flynn case, Barr initially responded, laughing: "Well, history is written by the winners, so it largely depends on who's writing the history."

After the brief clip aired, Todd remarked that he was "struck by the cynicism of the answer -- it's a correct answer, but he's the attorney general. He didn't make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this was a political job."

The American news media is a division of the counterintelligence apparatus of all federal agencies who use disinformation as standard practice. Heck, the agency heads all go work for the news media after their administration is out of the executive branch. You know, “Echo Chamber Journalism” - Ben Rhodes.

Nobody believes the Marxist Media, especially after 2016, so Chuck Todd’s propaganda won’t change any minds. This ain’t the old days when most people believed Walter Cronkite when he would say “and that’s the way it is.”

The Media is GARBAGE, it’s a dumpster fire. How do we create a new media? Because this one’s got to go. Seriously, to call them scum is an insult to scum. Which probably serves some useful ecological purpose, unlike them, who have gone from useless to destructive.

Note the coordination.

Obama said Rule of law was at risk.

That is why Todd said what he did. He had to follow the script.

Trump and Barr pushed back hard. Fake News will be given no quarter.

Pure, criminal, information warfare. Leftists want you dead, folks and they will do or say whatever they need to, especially lie, to gain the power so they can use government to murder you.

Buy weapons and ammo.

Networks don’t have broadcast licenses. The FCC has no jurisdiction over networks. The affiliate stations are licensed but only a small number of those are owned by the networks. The DVD has only ever yanked a TV station’s license a handful of times in any case.

There needs to be some sanctions on the fake news media outlets when it is blatant this.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people who still do believe the MSM. They live in my neighborhood!
