“The fact that I, Meghan McCain, cohost of The View, don’t know when or how I will be able to get a vaccine” - Meghan McCain, Feb. 22
Do you know how gravitationally privileged you have to be to get me to even approach the line of defending chris cillizza
Every media reporter in the country should be demanding an apology from @chucktodd @MeetThePress and @NBCNewsPR for offering this bad-faith brute an enormous platform on the top-rated Sunday show and praising her by saying “it’s good to have a McCain back on Meet the Press”

The media will never stop using the police’s intentionally deceptive language to help them cover up murder
Ah yes that classic and familiar phrase “the prone position,” a term so recognizable we put it in a headline expecting our readers to know what it is
It is 100% likely that most of the editors and reporters at the @washingtonpost do not read the Washington Post

Fox News announced that the "straight news" anchors replacing Chris Wallace are: Bret Baier, Bill Hemmer, John Roberts, Shannon Bream, Neil Cavuto and Martha MacCallum

Bill Hemmer anchored a two-hour news show this morning and did not mention the Fox hosts' texts to Meadows once
This is what straight news anchor Bill Hemmer covered on his two-hour straight news program
Neil Cavuto anchored a two-hour news show this afternoon and did not mention the Fox hosts' texts to Meadows that were revealed last night once

I am the only person qualified to lead the media
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

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
Thank you chris Wallace sir for many years of great service. The election results were faked by Jews. Thank you for having me on Fox News Sunday

Every episode of Meet the Press for the last four weeks:

“The election was stolen”
“The election was stolen”
“The election was stolen”
“The election was stolen”

@chucktodd every time: “I appreciate you coming on and sharing your perspective”
Jan. 6: “History will remember”

@chucktodd: “The election was stolen”
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
