Chuck Todd Just Said Something Useful

He said that MTP Daily was opting not to air excerpts from tRump's rally last night that crossed a line--notably, the unsubstantiated attacks on Hunter Biden. Media outlets, he said, have a responsibility not to amplify things that cross the line, as he feels the Hunter Biden attacks do, and suggested that others might want to follow suit.

... Trump just last night "crossed a line"? Is Chuck Todd the same one we've seen for years? To think a line was crossed, just now, indicates this Chuck Todd is different. Could it be Chuck Todd Jr?

I thought he was being shepard smith’d and was being walked out the door.

Instead MSNBC is only going to play the non offensive parts of trump’s rally. And they didn’t have 5 minutes of dead air?

They need to try harder.

the *only* clip of the rally they showed was the "kiss Obama's ass" clip. They showed it to criticize tRump, but it made the piety of his statement look disingenuous at best.

even when he wags his little finger at the Republicans.

His ego is on display thinking Trump will listen to him.

Nicolle Wallace made it clear she would not show Trump rants.

Right now Trump is at full throttle rage. He revealed that last night.

owner program bosses. They basked in his performance and aired every tweet with money-making gusto. They helped promote this dictator wanna-be asshole for years. They were and are, so delusional, they really thought he would "pivot" or "rise to the Presidency" or whatever blather they could spew. Now they're just like us, hoping he doesn't get us all fucking killed. I still don't think they understand what pulling out of all these treaties and stacking the courts will do long term. Thanks for crappy journalism (infotainment) and enjoy your fat paychecks, while most of the U.S. falls further down the economic, disparity shaft and the world is on fire (literally and figuratively).
