Your parents are getting GOP propaganda beamed into their eyeballs and they don’t even know it, because that’s how good GOP propagandists are at hemming their message to the Chuck Todds in the media who are already inclined to want Democrats to be punished
Chuck Todd frames everything that anti-vax and pro-Jan. 6 Republicans do as a strategic move — “seeing an opening” — regardless of their immediate history and current role in lying through misinformation campaigns to convince people that the election and covid are fake
Republicans have spent nine months screaming about microchips and fertility side effects and magnetized arms and voter fraud and hidden ballot boxes and dead people voting. @chucktodd’s response is “these people are raising new concerns about how Joe Biden is bad for the economy”
Every single segment on this show is dedicated to electing Republicans
“The white supremacists who tried to murder members of Congress and intentionally spread covid for 19 months say this is all Biden’s fault. Are they right? I’ll ask this question on my show because the people who incited the attack on the Capitol are my friends and I need them.”
“Here’s what Politico wrote” - @chucktodd today citing right-wing Playbook as if it’s a neutral news source

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”
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”
