Chuck Todd attempts to twist guest’s words to bash President and fails (VIDEO)


This is the problem with the traditional news media. Chuck Todd is attempting to create news instead of reporting it. Jim Webb corrects Chuck Todd's mischaracterization of solely blaming the President ad nauseum. The traditional news media continue to fail America by reporting to a narrative instead of letting the real news create the appropriate narrative.

2. Reality and nuance cannot exist within the brainwashed mind of a delusional right wing conservative.

Todd and the like continue to only see what they are told. How sad that so many are so easily led into a myopic silly and destructive path.

Lemmings march off cliffs to their death, but I don't think they have the cocky sense to take pride in insisting everyone deride those who are not following. These nuts see only their disgust with all things progressive and will hurt all of us to get what they think is their way.

I wonder if it's the toxins in our environment that have damaged their abilities to see past what they are being told?

I wouldn't mind so much if they could only stay out of governing. They can't think far enough ahead to make sound decisions for us or themselves.

Kinda like, "you've not said the word Syria once" (mine)... Todd was told to say the words

As long as he continues to try to guide and create the news instead of report it, he will continue
to be the Republican stooge Letterman pointed him out to be after his very first MTP show.

Propagandists are not journalists. Todd should just go to Fox where he belongs.

Webb is a very interesting choice for Chuck Todd since Todd's wife worked for Webb in 2006. Since Webb could have Presidential aspirations in 2016 what better way to build up his own interest at home for his wife if Webb makes a presidential bid. Jim Webb's connection to Chuck Todd alone makes me suspicious of any run for higher office.

..should get himself a paper route if he wants to spread the news, because that's about all he's qualified for.

10. NBC has an agenda, a pro corporation, 1% RW agenda. Olbermann is out of the question.

Those Sunday talk shows serve one purpose, that is to disseminate propaganda.
