Chuck Todd apparently still doesn't believe fact checking is part of his job. From this Sunday's Meet the Press, while discussing Carly Fiorina's tale about Planned Parenthood carving up live babies on tables so they can harvest their organs for a profit, Todd did manage to quote from a PolitiFact article, which called her claims "mostly false."
He couldn't be bothered to utter the word "lie" himself when citing the PolitiFact article, or give his own opinion on the matter, and then allowed right-wing hate talker Hugh Hewitt to carry water for Fiorina's claims and to explain to the audience what she supposedly "really meant" to say during the CNN debate.
Hewitt also advocated for the Republicans to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood funding and pretended that it would somehow be good for their party to do so.
I guess it's too much to ask for Todd to just say, "No Hugh. You're lying. This is not what Planned Parenthood is doing." No, instead he equivocated and had to have Maria Shriver take him on instead.
Way to go there Chuckles. He also left it to one of their other panel members, David Maraniss, to point out the fact that Hewitt's support for their brilliant plan to shut down the government probably won't work out too well for Republicans.
short and sweet, no really, what is the purpose of his being there????
just to pick who lies next or who refuses to rebuke it or who he can get to do his job for him why don't they just make it open mike Sunday and meet the right wing and just give them free reign hey they can build a tunnel under Rockefeller center from Fox to them they're just across the street make the change complete????????? okay not so short+o)
