12. thanks

I asked him to provide proof that Obama said this.

[DJ13]

2. The corporate spinmeisters are desperate for anything but a national public option

Co-Ops are smaller pools, making it more difficult to effectively negotiate lower prices on drugs and services.

Services like the medical equipment business of GE.

4. Very salient point there DJ13

[Cha]

15. And, in the process chuck todd is outing his

corporatewhore self.

3. Again, BSNBC shows who they really work for...

5. Hey all,

am I allowed to share an e-mail exchange I just had with Chuckles with the board here? I thought I'd ask before I posted it as to not get into any trouble. I found his answer laughable to my e-mail.

[PretzelWarrior]

6. YES!!! we all share our email missives and replies

[Baltoman991]

8. Ok, here goes.

Hey Chuck, ever thought about moving over to Fox News? You'd fit right in over there. Really, they're not reality based at all and neither are you.

Try reporting facts instead of your spin ok? Obama will give in to co-ops? Says who? Your crystal ball? It's amusing watching you hacks on cable "news" trying to bring this man down when in reality, theres that word again, he's superior to you and your ilk in every way.

There will be no co-ops. And you know that but hey, you have a job to do right? Can't let the President get any good press from the main stream media.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His reply:

well, if you have different REPORTING, then please go right ahead... I'm telling you the facts as I've gotten them from the White House and my sources. I don't make stuff up... Please, stop listening to cable news for what you agree with or disagree with... some of us are still in the business of delivering information and simply connecting the dots. What's happened to cable news and how viewers now watch is incredibly frustrating.


Well there you have it, Chuck makes nothing up and tells me to STOP listening to cable news. Chuck is now playing connect the dots. Oh well, I guess I'll take him at his word..............NOT.

[HopeOverFear]

10. Um...isn't Chuck on cable news????

:eyes: (directed towards Chuck, not you) :)

[Baltoman991]

11. I thought he

was, but then, why would he be telling me to stop listening to him? LMAO.

Like I said, his reply was laughable but predictable. His feelings seem to get hurt quite easily when he's called on his BS.

[HopeOverFear]

14. He's such an idiot.

[ErinBerin84]

7. yes

I don't know if it was you, but someone once posted a semi-pissy email that Chuck Todd had sent to them. I've gotten a pissy email (my original email was pretty darned polite) from Jonathan Martin from Politico. These people seem very sensitive.

[Canuckistanian]

9. Does he have a crystal ball?

Or, more importantly, does he still have the instruction manual for it?

[eleny]

13. That would be a tall, stinking load of crap

[Phx_Dem]

16. Chuck's job is not to report facts/news, it's to predict the future.

Didn't you know that? He should start wearing a turban when he tells the future so we're all clear on what his job is.

[HopeOverFear]

18. Right.

sigh. :(

[Oregone]

17. Who cares if he did?

A "public option" covering 10 million people is as useless as co-ops. There are far more important aspects to the reform than the public distraction everyone is so caught up with.

[budkin]

19. Chuck Todd is such a little weasel

Thinks he's hot shit when he "confronts" Obama. Has he ever been right about anything?
