Oh my god Politico let @chucktodd write Playbook and he is using it to lie about his role in platforming election deniers before the Capitol attack 
The amount of bricks you have to have for brains to talk about people who won’t “reconcile their role” in spreading misinformation after you praised Republicans for having the “guts” to lie on your own show about voter fraud is probably 5 to 10
In December 2019 Ted Cruz CALLED CHUCK TODD to BOOK HIMSELF on Meet the Press SO HE COULD LIE ABOUT A UKRAINE CONSPIRACY THEORY, this is just a puddle of crocodile tears from another bad-faith “leading voice” using the pages of Politico Playbook to lie and deceive readers
More than any other Sunday show, @MeetThePress platformed Republican conspiracy theorists knowing they would lie about the election. Not once has @chucktodd acknowledged his role in this despite this hypocritical call for Republicans to acknowledge their role in lying for Trump
What a fantasy. Just last week @chucktodd let Mick Mulvaney lie about Trump “pivoting” away from witness tampering in his first impeachment. Chuck didn’t say a fucking word. Just let Mulvaney claim it happened when it didn’t. This is what he believes is “sober debate”
Well at least this is true: @chucktodd goes out of his way to platform bad-faith Republicans. He puts them on his *panel of journalists* to tip the balance to the right. He put two REPUBLICAN GOVERNORS and a GOP strategist on his panel with no Democrat! Scott Walker, “journalist”
Anyway if you needed more evidence that Chuck Todd is a Republican here’s his first suggestion for what you should read today: David French
I know @politico's new position is "we make mischief and don't fact check playbook's bad-faith guest authors" but there is ample evidence showing @chucktodd gives Republicans an outsize voice as guests AND on panels, maybe should have been mentioned @RyanLizza @KaminskiMK ?
Not sure what your position is on allowing empirical data to be printed showing your guest author was lying about his own show (obviously he is biased toward his own reputation and brand) but if you need an 80-word response tomorrow I can email you the guest lists free of charge
