Chuck "Not My Job To Fact Check" Toad: "Media not the reason t Rump gets away with lying etc."

Says that ultimately it's the fault of the voters not caring that he gets away with murder.

Yep. That's what he just said on his Make Trump Palpable show.

Unfuckingbelievable.

He will invite guests and let them point out the facts.

Still, there is a difference between a debate and the sorry excuse for one by Matt Lauer.

As we've seen during the Republican primaries - mostly - they made a point to contradict others. Many would say - before I reply to your question I want to visit that other point.

But with Lauer, Hillary did not have such an opportunity. She had to explain, again, the eamils and then was done. While Trump had a chance to comment on her points - I did not watch that part - she did not.

plop a blond wig on his bald head, and stuff him into a tight red dress so he can fantasize that he's a big celebrity on Faux News.

Toad is a big cream puff pastry. Not my job to fact check..... WAIT, HUH???! Talk about saying "well, I basically am saying I don't have to work anymore, I just give watered down opinions that are gobbledy-gook!"

He's awful and annoying to watch and listen to...

The Trump voters definitely do not care about any of Trump's misdeeds. This does not mean journalists should not point them out and fact check.
