because millions of Trump voters dont want or care about the truth.

It is remarkable to watch, like that movie idiocracy.

You cant be more unhealthy for this country than donald trump and team. Wow.

We're actually talking about whether or not reality is relevant.

What in the actual fuck.

Sounds like Kellyanne Conway just broke up with Chuck Todd.

as she has threatened the press to be careful what they say the past couple months since the idiot stole the election. This woman is evil behind that fake smile of hers. She reminds me of the antiChrist's female enablers in the movie The Omen.

CNN came around and finally call a duck what it is. The quote from the last commentator "Frank..." is absolutely correct: "Credibility is the indelible ink of administrations...credibility matters". It will be the downfall of the orange idiot and his lying maggots.

Maybe they should have a permanent on-screen graphic that reads "PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A LIAR".

You know where we are when Chuck Todd reaches his limit. I have not seen him so exasperated.

This is right out of "1984" by Orwell.

I doubt Faux News will air that Todd/Conway bit.

I agree with what I heard on MSNBC, on AM Joy, it will be on local news to call a lie a lie. Not a "dispute", a downright lie. Local news likes to play it down the middle but they now have to label falsehoods as downright lies.

We are down a dangerous rabbit hole let us hope for brighter days ahead.

It would have been nice it they had done a little more of this before the election. However, it is good that they doing this now.
