This is pretty bad. One can certainly criticize Barr's answer, but @chucktodd used an edited video to suggest Barr didn't make an argument that he specifically did make.
Meet the Press has admitted the error:

Given how significant it was, I would hope they issue an on-air correction during the next episode.

Btw just caught a few minutes of @iamjohnoliver ‘s show and he did the same thing. He cut the clip of Barr to claim he only said the history part and nothing about defending the decision as just.

Deceptive editing on talk shows seeking into news is becoming more common.

So I think an accuser's credibility is relevant to charges, but I also think people need to be careful about not engaging in what is perceived as a smear campaign against a potential victim.

The double standard being applied in these two cases is so blatant that it's insane.
There were a lot of stories during the Kavanaugh about Ford's personality, history, her relationship w her family etc.

I did not publicly discuss them because I thought they didn't prove anything and the facts spoke for themselves. Interesting seeing opposite approach here.
This is what I was referring to in the previous tweet. The information isn't that different from what is coming out re Reade. Don't really see the purpose of dropping it now, but double standard is clear.

It's helpful because it's accurate. People in the press need to be held accountable for doing a bad job because their failures have had real consequences. Especially when it comes to how they have covered various states.
One of the things I wrote about for tomorrow's AG Report is just how much harm came out of the press giving Cuomo a pass while wrongly focusing all their criticism on DeSantis. It allowed NY to avoid taking actions that could have saved many lives for months.
I'm sorry if that reality makes some people uncomfortable, but it should lead to some self-reflection from the press. ESPECIALLY those who have seen and felt the devastation in NY. How did your colleagues screw these stories up so badly and how will they avoid it next time?

NY's political leadership completely failed their residents throughout this crisis.

This same NYC Health Commissioner was actively urging New Yorkers not to change any of their behavior in early March, denying need for self-quarantines, and insisting the subway was safe.
De Blasio, Barbot, Levine, Cuomo...

These people should all be facing public shaming and endless scrutiny. They helped turn America's biggest city into a disaster zone. Instead there has been no accountability.
There are obviously things that Trump is responsible for at fed level, but the disaster in NYC can't be compared to anywhere else and was also responsible for extensive spread. There are other factors (population, transportation etc), but their failures clearly played a role.
