Should @MeetThePress and @chucktodd confirm that their invited guest, Roger Marshall — a Republican who voted to overturn the election and called for the Jan. 6 insurrection — was not one of these senators before giving him their platform tomorrow morning?
Shouldn’t at least one reporter ask @NBCNews and @NBCNewsPR if this is happening or why it’s not happening? Isn’t this an empirical yes or no that would establish whether the guest you’re offering your platform to was trying to overthrow the government? Because we know he:
Are any of the producers at @MeetThePress journalists who conduct pre-interviews with guests to establish whether they’re conspiracy theorists or insurrectionists, or is everyone there a former Republican congressional staffer
Is @richardhudock working today? Is he aware that NBC’s guest tomorrow was possibly a participant in the PowerPoint presentation to overthrow the government? Or is nobody asking because it would be too embarrassing to reveal you’re booking actual insurrectionists?
Does anybody work here

Everyone in journalism loves Chris Wallace so it’s pretty cool that his final guest on Fox News Sunday was election denier and coup supporter Lindsey Graham who was allowed to spread misinformation for 12 minutes without being challenged once by the great journalist Chris Wallace

Chuck Todd is doubling down on his endorsement of the Big Lie
Tomorrow’s Meet the Press guest is Roger Marshall — an insurrectionist who spreads the Big Lie, voted to overturn the election, and voted to block the Jan. 6 commission
This is brief list of what Roger Marshall did to cancel the election results and try to throw out Black votes for Biden. He has been forgiven and rewarded for this by @chucktodd who telegraphs to Republicans that he won’t challenge them on their actions that led to Jan. 6
There is a constant pattern on NBC and CBS of erasing the roles of Republicans who told the Big Lie and precisely zero media reporters are covering it
Here’s Politico Playbook stating it has no idea how to cover the rise of fascism in the GOP—“what are we supposed to do, just write about how brilliant Biden is?”—while simultaneously running a stream of positive stories about how brilliant Jim Jordan is and Kevin McCarthy is and
Find yourself a respectable model of salvaging democratic norms that wishes a happy birthday to murderer-autocrats and fascist white supremacists
