Playbook's definition of journalism is "we only talk about what candidates talk about," which is a description of a Yellow Naped Amazon parrot — and not even true by its own standards
The day after Madison Cawthorn appeared at a white supremacist rally and called for "bloodshed" to overturn the next presidential election if a Democrat wins, Playbook — which ostensibly covers what candidates talk about — didn't mention it once. This was their lead story:
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
No real journalist would ever thank an insurrectionist for coming on and sharing their perspective that the election was stolen and yet nobody in the media seems to be interested in holding @chucktodd accountable for helping Republicans spread the Big Lie every week
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
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
