I gave up on listening to Chuck Todd and his MTP a long time ago. So today, the TV is on MSNBC and

Chuck Todd is on and I didn't change the channel. Then Todd ask the question, "What is the difference between what Bill Clinton did that day he boarded Loretta Lynch's plane and what Trump did today (in sending his lawyer to the meeting)?" Let me just say that I am so f'ing tired of the "so called" liberal media trying to do the bidding for the corrupted GOP. The so-called liberal media is the reason we have Drumpf now. They are always out there trying to prove how tough they can be on 'liberals'. On a day like today, and that is the first question out of Chuckie's mouth. I won't make the same mistake again. No more MTP and Chuckie. I don't care if it is the only program on the TV.

dt has Chuck nervous bc dt was making jokes about CT's appearance. Ct is a very vein man. Your'e so right. Easy to be mean to Liberals bc we are the voice of reason. Chuck Todd would be one of the first reporters dt rounded up, just may happen in our lifetimes.
As if theres any comparison. Clinton went on a plane. There's never been any proof anything happened other than a visit. They impugn guilt but run from it themselves.

How much of a punk must Chuck Todd be to allow Drumpf to sit across from him and make jokes about his appearance and just take it, when he's got so much to work with with DT; and even worse to act like he's afraid of him. CT has a comb-over, DT has the worse comb-over, and a Trophy wife that won't even let him touch her. She swats away his hand in public with the entire world watching. How humiliating must that be to the Orangeman? CT needs to grow a pair.

who doesn't respect anything, or anybody and cares only about himself. He conspired with the Russians to win an election, and now he's trying to destroy the lives of the good people who are just trying to do their job of investigating him. Bill Clinton lied about p*ssy like any respectable man probably would have. After all, he didn't rape Monica, she volunteered her services. Trump on the other hand, is taking millions from our allies and some who aren't our allies and who knows what he's giving them or promising in return. He's put his son-in-law in charge of everything that sacred and he's shaking down countries as well, and we don't know what he's offering up as concessions to these people. He now has his security clearance back and I don't trust him that he won't sell out our nation's secret information for a price.

also and slapped at (what's wrong with) the Democrats along with the Republicans that they "couldn't control these people."

Pelosi of course sent Schiff, always a gentleman, to attend both meetings in her place.

I avoid him also but turned on the TV to find out what happened at the meetings and forgot to turn it off.

a false Narrative daily. Remember he was hand picked by NBC management for the show. Comcast Media which is NBC/MSNBC. These are the same people who gave in kind free publicity for the Trump Campaign. Never forget,Joe Scab is the Go-to-Guy when it comes booking guests on any talk show. And Joe Scab was the very first to take Trumps Phone Calls on Air in 2016.

You are leaving out any context to the discussion

You are also miss characterizing it

The show in totality was anti trump

The question about Clinton was playing the devil’s advocate. That question was taking on what trump’s base think.

Also his guests were enlightening.

making the initial analysis as if they were one and the same; particularly on a day like today and with what's at stake. What if the guest had not said that? My point was that I'm sick and tired of the so-called "liberal media" feeling that they have to be fair and balance all the f'ing time. Especially with all the shenanigans the GOP has been pulling lately. Too much is at stake with not just what Chuckie said, but with the lying ass Trump is doing, trying to destroy the very fabric of our nation and the truths we hold dearly because he's trying to steal and cheat everyone and everything, and destroy the good people who are trying to stop him . Everyone knows how corrupt Trump is and he's trying to destroy the entire Justice Dept because he knows what he's done. He knows Mueller can't discuss the case publicly so he Tweets and sends out assholes like Guiliani and the entire GOP to publicly distort the truth, and guess what? It's working!!!!! The other half of the country that get's it talking points from Fake News believes that the entire Justice Dept is corrupt and out to frame Trump. So pardon me if I didn't feel like being fair and balanced today, because I was pissed off that the asshole in the White House is a thug and a conman, and is trying to get away with it, and is leaving a trail of destroyed and disillusioned good people in his path.

I've never heard anyone refer to her as that.

I gave up on her a long time ago. Her anti-Hillary hatred runs so deep, it truly affects her judgment as a journalist. She was practically a hysterical shrew in her daily criticism of everything Hillary did during the campaign. So transparent in her bias, it was really pathetic.

I remember a broadcast she gave when Clinton was still Secretary of State at a time when Alan Greenspan was proposing disastrous financial policy for The Fed. Madame Secretary was interviewed about his comments, and she rightfully shredded him, going point for point, on how damaging the fallout would be for middle class and low income families. That night, Andrea Mitchell turned in a performance that NBC should never have run. It was not a news report, it was outright character assassination of Clinton for having an opinion in the first place, and I suspect for being bang on the ramifications of Chairman Greenspan's duplicitous deal. (Remember under whose tutelage he was mentored -- Ayn Rand.)

In addition, Clinton's action caused Lynch to recuse herself because there was at least the appearance of influence. This was after many people questioned what had happened.

Now, consider that Trump has FAR more power because he is President. In addition, what is being investigated affects his campaign and himself. This makes Trump's action worse. One question is whether CT followed up that rhetorical question by saying that Trump's action was wrong.
