Meet the Press is actively engaged in a misinformation campaign to refurbish the image of every white supremacist who intentionally killed 700,000 people with covid and tried to overturn the election by ending democracy
This is 100% bullshit and @chucktodd wants you to buy it
@chucktodd This person deliberately spread covid misinformation knowing it would kill people. She enjoyed her role in destroying people’s lives and families. She is a heartless modern propaganda minister who will never face a consequence. @chucktodd wants to make her an NBC contributor
@chucktodd Chuck Todd gave 9 minutes to a white nationalist and didn’t challenge her once on any lie she told while she worked in service of America’s rising fascism movement. He asked her what she thinks about 2024 and said “thank you for coming on and sharing your perspective with us”
@chucktodd A real journalist would respond to Grisham’s request for a book promo—it’s called “I’ll Take Your Questions Now”—by asking her questions about the specific lies she told (impeachment/witness intimidation, “notes” left by Obama aides—to start!) instead of… just promoting her book
Giving the host job to someone who knows how to interview a person who needs to be held accountable instead of someone who believes the Republican Party is redeemable and its collaborators should be rehabilitated on a daily basis would arguably make this show not suck
Face the Nation just now boosted this clip from Sunday specifically because right-wing covid deniers are circulating it on the RNC feed and calling for Fauci to be fired. This is how GOP propaganda works: corporate media and bad-faith actors working together for the same goal
Chuck Todd booked Bill Cassidy to push GOP talking points and refused to have a single Democrat on to balance him
Since Jan. 6 Todd has booked the following Republicans on shows with 0 Democrats
This is how right-wing propaganda works in plain sight:
This week @chucktodd admitted that he prefers Republican newsletters. Then on his top-rated Sunday show he invites a senator who pushed the Big Lie, identifies a GOP operative as an “analyst,” and blames Biden for covid
Meet the Press presents only GOP viewpoints because it’s hosted by a centrist Republican who despises liberals and wants to use his influential platform to let his Republican friends brainwash your family into thinking the GOP is good. He refuses to give Democrats a fair rebuttal
@nytopinion@DouthatNYT damn. what if it were 1 in 20? thatd be even worse. probably as worse as it could ever be. damn
oh fuck what if it were 1 in 10?? oh god. that would be the worst ever possible I bet. jeez
oh holy shit what about 1 in 5?!! Oh fuck
This morning CBS’s @FaceTheNation has booked three Republicans and zero Democrats
One of the Republicans is Ronna McDaniel who pushed the Big Lie and tried to throw out Black votes in Michigan. It’s her second appearance since trying to do so
This is how GOP propaganda works
This show has also repeatedly booked Lindsey Graham, one of Trump’s most mendacious Big Liars, in its campaign to erase Republicans’ history of pushing the lie. @CBSNews has endorsed the GOP’s misinformation campaign and faced zero consequences or accountability for it
This is a CPAC lineup laundered through the trusted news brand of a company that is run by Republicans who work every day to make you forget that Jan. 6 ever happened. @margbrennan has assured every Republican who comes on that she will never bring up their involvement
Recently @politico platformed Dan Crenshaw live, pushed GOP BS on Obama’s bday bash, and heralded Ron DeSantis and Jim Jordan
Now they’re giving a Trump covid merchant of death:
-angel wings
-free PR for charity work
-a platform for covid/election lies
-attaboys from SEAN SPICER
The URL for the story is “redemption profile” and smashed among 200-word-burst tick-tocks of Michael Caputo totally organically volunteering with children totally 100% organically is the reminder that the guy responsible for killing thousands actually has done nothing wrong
This is a “what I did this summer” essay to warmly present a reality-denier as good because Politico’s new default is trading on its Obama-era legacy as a (once true!) smart behind-the-scenes publication to now rehabilitate Republicans under the mask of “what insiders are saying”
CBS’s @FaceTheNation is the new home of the Big Lie: On Sunday @margbrennan is platforming Brian Mast, an election denier who voted to overturn the results *after* the insurrection
@CBSNews has been hosting election deniers and whitewashing their role in spreading the Big Lie
The media is rehabbing Brian Mast by using Afghanistan to wipe his history of spreading the Big Lie. They ask him to attack Biden and never mention that Mast lied about the election, because they want you to forget he did. @CNN did this yesterday and the @washingtonpost last week
CBS News is currently run by Republicans. One of them is their political director who worked for six Republican senators through 2016 when she was abruptly made the CBS political director with no news experience, because CBS wants you to believe Republicans’ talking points
