The day after Donald Trump incited a domestic terrorist attack on the U.S. Capitol @DanaBashCNN said he is showing "a very different tone"
@DanaBashCNN The news industry must be completely demolished, from top to bottom and every meticulous detail in between, just annihilated. Journalism is poisoned and the only cure is a total redo
@DanaBashCNN In the most generous interpretation of this, Dana didn’t have a good analysis and just had to say something to fill the air. @DanaBashCNN you should apologize this is absolutely fucking nuts. Trump incited a mob that killed people
The media is so disgustingly Republican. Within these people there exists a reflexive, vile need to rehabilitate every Republican who commutes an atrocity — literally a terrorist attack — within 24 FUCKING HOURS. There is simply no cure for this other than complete deconstruction
You know where this will never be mentioned? On @brianstelter’s show about the news media

Chuck Todd is lying. He has not "had enough of hearing this." Immediately after this, he asked Johnson more questions and allowed him to lie about the election, again
Not sharing the video because it's pure misinformation. This is performative bullshit from both of them
Meet the Press is laundering election lies on its platform unabashedly by participating in the GOP's misinformation campaign. If you've "had enough" of it, you wouldn't allow it to continue, @chucktodd. And yet you do, every week, because you want to help Republicans spread lies
@chucktodd “I’ve had enough of hearing this. Now let me ask you again: what do you think about the election being stolen? Please use complete sentences in your answer.”
Every journalist at NBC News should be calling on Meet the Press to rescind Ron Johnson’s invitation to appear on the show tomorrow morning to spread the lie that Biden didn’t win the election
This is not controversial. He is an avowed conspiracy theorist who has now signed a statement saying Biden didn’t win the election. Take him off of your show. @richardhudock@JusticeGGreen what is your possible defense of this?
@richardhudock@JusticeGGreen@RJonesNews why is NBC News putting a conspiracy theorist who just signed a letter saying Biden didn’t win the election on Meet the Press tomorrow morning?
Meet the Press has booked a shameless conspiracy theorist, Senator Ron Johnson, for Sunday. Johnson says covid is fake and denied Biden won the election. He is MTP's most-booked Republican and has used the platform to spread lies more than any other senator. It is a true feat.
Johnson staged a conspiracy Senate panel of covid vaccine skeptics, anti-maskers, and fake drug promoters just weeks ago. He is avidly pro-covid in addition to spreading Hunter Biden conspiracies and saying Biden stole the election with "voter fraud" nytimes.com/2020/12/07/us/…
Every mainstream news outlet, not just @MeetThePress, books conspiracy theorists because they believe Republicans deserve a platform to spread their misinformation. This is not journalism and @chucktodd does not care one wink about it
2 weeks ago Wolf Blitzer said Democrats and Republicans were equally to blame for holding up covid relief. He said "millions" need it, $700 is enough, and "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good"
Today Republicans alone are holding up $2000 payments. Any opinion, Wolf?
Journalists exist in an artificial world in which opinions like "health care is good" are forbidden because one party says health care is bad. But if both parties compromise, even if it's a shitty compromise, journalists are allowed to say the compromise was "good." Pretty neat
Just think about how weird this is. It’s OK to say covid relief is good. It’s OK to say $700 is good. But it’s not OK to say $2000 is good. Is it OK to say $701 is good? What about $1000? Is more money good because families need it, or not good because Republicans don’t want it?
Once again @MeetThePress is putting a Republican on its "Journalists Panel" with NO DEMOCRAT for balance
Rich Lowry wrote a disgusting pro-Trump column on Oct. 26. He'll be with two reporters on the panel tomorrow
This is the 5th time since August this has happened. @chucktodd?
This is a disgusting display of right-wing bias on the top-rated Sunday show @MeetThePress. Here are the previous "journalist panels" that @chucktodd stacked with Republicans to mislead viewers into thinking GOP talking points are objective analysis:
On Nov. 22 @chucktodd put Republican conspiracy theorist Kevin Cramer on his show to deny that Biden won the election. Cramer was allowed to spread this insane conspiracy theory at length and was never cut off despite lying brazenly *on a news show*
