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”
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
Here's what Cavuto covered on his two-hour straight news program
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
