Toady: "It's perception - not reality - that Clinton will be dealing with when it comes to Trump."

Just now on Making Television Putrid.

And why is that, Chuckie? Is it because - as you have pointed out - it's not your job as a reporter to offer corrections when politicians lie? That what's important is not that a deranged racist is spouting lies that the feeble-brained in this country eat up with their bigoted spoons, but that it's kinda nifty, inside-the-beltway received opinion that the REAL story isn't the bald-faced lying, but the idea that Trump can be outrageous, and all that matters is if Hillary can come up with some response that feeds into your horserace-über-alles mentality?

Disgusting, high-school level bullshit from a man that NBC touts as a brilliant political observer.
