Re: POTUS 45.59: It Was a Great Phone Call

Also, Rich Lowery on Meet the Press. He basically said, full exoneration on Russia for Trump. Which WAS NOT what the Mueller Report said. And they get away with it. It's amazing to me how easily they skated away from that and I'm afraid they may find a way.

It was fun to watch Chuck Todd finally mention Paul Manafort. Remember him? How is his dealings in Ukraine nothing to the Republicans and yet, Hunter Biden and what he did is the DEBBIL? The cognitive dissonance of the Republican Party is going to destroy this country. they have too much power for it not to continue to have an effect.

Chuck Todd’s balls must have dropped. That was how you handle a dip**** like Johnson.
 
Re: POTUS 45.59: It Was a Great Phone Call

Sorry but Chuck Todd still sucks. To me it looked more like he got angry Johnson wouldnt shut up and let him talk it had zero to do with what he was saying. If Johnson would have just let Todd speak and been calm Chuck would have let him throw out his conspiracy theories the whole show. Chuck Todd is and always will be part of the problem.

At least he did something. George on ABC is giving Jim Jordan a walk.

The media is a joke.

The media exists to collect eyeballs to sell cars and AWS. As long as Nazis are buying those the Nazi POV will be represented.

Deadspin noticed.

Chuck Todd, the normally insufferable host of NBC News’ Meet the Press, has appeared increasingly uncomfortable over the past few days with the talking heads who appear on his show to repeat GOP talking points about Donald Trump.

In the rest of the world, those talking points are called lies, and the typical failure by many cable news hosts to call them out in real time is one of the reasons that watching cable news is so unbearable.

But something happened on Sunday to trigger Todd, and that something was Republican Sen. Ron Johnson from Wisconsin, which rhymes. Johnson appeared on NBC acting like a combative, right-wing lunatic, and spewing pro-Trump conspiracy theories that sounded like they came straight from Fox News, Breitbart, or even InfoWars.

...


Todd actually lost his cool to this, which was something to see, because it’s usually the viewers who react this way after sitting through one of his shows.

“Do you not trust the FBI? You don’t trust the CIA? I’m just very confused here,” Todd shouted. He prompted Johnson, who is chairman of the Senate’s Homeland Security committee, to admit that he doesn’t trust the nation’s intelligence agencies. Yikes.

In response, Johnson called Todd so “incredibly biased” that the senator “would never be able to get the truth out.” That type of tin-foil hogwash may go over well in Oshkosh, but it didn’t work on Meet the Press, at least not today, because Todd was in a bad mood.

“Senator, I don’t know why you came on here to just personally attack the press and avoid answering questions about what’s happened here,” Todd said.

More balls would be Todd making it policy, explicitly, in the opening monologue next week saying these people won’t be welcomed on the show any more.

Yeah, Todd's just a pretty talking hairdo. He doesn't control the guests.

FTN is Access Journalism. If they speak truth to the Nazis they'll take their swastika and go home and the ad rates will drop. No bueno.

Re: POTUS 45.59: It Was a Great Phone Call

How it's done. (Long but very good.)

In what is truly the richest of ironies, Donald Trump is now poised to become just another piece of right-wing roadkill, an unintended casualty of his own disinformation machine, the exact same machine that cemented his electoral victory over Hillary Clinton in 2016. By extorting foreign leaders to manufacture dirt involving former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Trump stupidly fell into the trap of believing his own team’s propaganda, a result that those who created the Biden-Ukraine fairy tale in the first place completely failed to foresee. And now he’s looking at impeachment for believing their lies and taking them to their logical conclusion.

The warning signs for Team Trump were there from the start, but they went unheeded. It’s well-documented that Trump the politician (as opposed to Trump the phony media creation) is at his core a deeply stupid, credulous man whose ”agenda” and worldview are shaped entirely by what he sees on Fox News. Couple that with a tendency to surround himself with sycophantic “yes-men” who assure him that all his actions are examples of some titanic genius, and it should have been predictable that this president, watching dumbly as his Hannity-fed heroes droned on and on about supposedly nefarious dealings by the one political opponent he feared the most, would do something extraordinarily idiotic with that information at some point.

Jane Mayer of the New Yorker explains how the “Biden/Ukraine” hoax was invented and spread by the same people who invented the “Uranium One” fiction which Fox News and other Republican sludge generators spawned in order to smear Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election.

Not to be a downer, but Trump also trailed Hillary in WI in the polls. Ted might want to check the history books to see what actually happened.
