Chuck todd chewed up minuchin on mtp.

Well done.

Got 45 on his vile personal attacks and vulgarity, and minuchin kept saying: "look at his accomplishmenrs."

Chuck: "Ok, so we should stop covering the rallies because his words are irrelevant. "

I have seen it posted over and over again on various sites. Why has MSM allowed themselves to normalize this behavior for the past two years ($$$) and now they want to become indignant? Where I live his base is very large and very loud. They actually think the MSM is afraid of him because he is tough and strong and says what is on his mind. Hell, he has the intellect of a ten year old wrapped around the instincts of a gangster. The MSM could chew him up and spit him out if they were not so damn greedy.

Nothing much to add. Other than real estate and car sales are full of folks like that.

If Toad had guts, he would have responded by trashing Trump's so-called accomplishments. They are threadbare at best, harmful at worst. But he won't do that, obviously.

correctly and Munchin basically just said something along the line of --it was a campaign rally. Well, to me that is just like Trump saying --it is locker room talk. In other words--it is OK to demean folks in certain places. damn.

This farce administration was bragging about the job numbers under Gump two weeks into his presidency.

Frankly, the only reason Dickhead isn't sitting on 20% approval ratings right now is because the greatest POTUS of the post-war era left him an economy that's in excellent shape.

Pathetic let down for the last decade, leading up to the intelligence-impotent reality show platform it exists on today.

They are just totally ineffective in holding anyone to any level of accountability.

And Chuck Todd is as cowardly as the worst of them.

When is responsible media going to understand their complicity in putting this fucking lunatic in office?

The F'n Moron is doing it again...and once again media is taking the bait.

Here's how to combat him. Don't ask ANYTHING of any of his SPOX other than...about his lies at the rallies? Grind them into the dirt, don't let up. It will become an awkward spectacle just like the rallies...so they will get the beloved rating=$ they desire.

He completely forgot to ask him what accomplishments he was referring to.

Repeat his lies over and over, then let him distract them time after time with his personal insults, and wild claims? This is why he get away with things so easily, because they let him. Just like questions for him. Ask him when the Korean war started and how long did it last, or policy questions. He'd do anything then talk actual policy questions, then instead lie and few will confront him when he lies. Media needs to quit giving him air time to promote propaganda. Like with his announcements, ignore him.

because we did that all through the election season. Trump got ALL the coverage and we ended up with him in the White House. They coveren 1 hour of tRump for each 1 minute of Hillary. I change channels whenever he comes on the tube! I can't stand to listen to him crow about how wonderful HE is and how bad everyone else is.
