High Hewitt on MTP - "The Mueller report said "no collusion no obstruction" Why does

[Maraya1969]

Chuck Todd allow these lies to go by??? This is exactly NOT what the Mueller Report said!

This is MSNBC. It is supposed to be a fact filled news organization. What I just watched was Fox news bullshit!

MSNBC needs to be held accountable for the bullshit it is allowing on its shows.

1. disgraceful

The report said "most likely collusion, definitely obstruction"

[former9thward]

7. No it didn't.

The report is online so it would be easy to link to that if it were true.

[Takket]

9. the report detailed numerous instances of contact with the russians.......

and mueller testified that drumpf would be indicated if not for the DOJ rule..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~`

When Nadler asked if it was true that “under Department of Justice policy, the president could be prosecuted for obstruction of justice crimes after he leaves office,” Mueller said that it was.

Mueller later affirmed the view to Colorado Republican Rep. Ken Buck that “yes,” Trump could be charged with obstruction of justice after leaving office.

10. "Contact with the russians" is not a violation of U.S. law.

And Mueller did not say it was. You are misrepresented what Mueller said. He said he could be charged not that he should be charged. He said he did not reach a conclusion on that. He did say there was no collusion and he did not reach a conclusion on obstruction.

[bluestarone]

12. I thought Mueller did say

If he thought tRUMP was innocent of Obstruction he (Mueller would have stated such. So to me that means POSSIBLE obstruction?

[Turin_C3PO]

13. So do you approve of Trump's actions?

Are you saying he didn’t obstruct justice? Most legal experts and congressional Dems assert that he did.

[former9thward]

15. My response was to what the OP said.

It was not accurate.

[Turin_C3PO]

16. Ok

[EffieBlack]

18. He didn't say there was no collusion

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. Because Tuck Choad doesn't think very fast

and stuff just slides by him. I don't think he's biased so much as just slow, and maybe too busy thinking about what clever, incisive thing he was going to say next to notice what was actually said to him.

[Cartaphelius]

3. More volunteers in

the Trump Fluffer Squad.

Chucky is still choking on the mushroom,
while Hewitt is a committed swallowing the
mushroom all the way to the back of his front
most tooth.

[corbettkroehler]

5. Bingo! The Status Quo Must Be Supported At All Costs! (n/t)

[KPN]

4. Chuck Todd is an idiot or an R in D or I clothing.

Take that back. He’s both.

[Glimmer of Hope]

6. This drives me nuts. Todd is a joke.

[ooky]

8. Chuck Todd loves to host Hugh Hewitt and other right wing hacks like him.

Back when I was still watching MTP I started to notice Hugh Hewitt was appearing frequently. Wasn't long after that I shut Chuck Todd off altogether. I think they must be good friends.

Hewitt generally starts showing up on cable TV M$M channels when Republicans go into damage control/high spin mode. Apparently he's right on schedule to start feeding the audience the latest Republican talking points they will use to lie about Trump's traitorous Ukraine behavior he was caught red handed in. Its lying time for the Republicans. Todd's shows are one of their favorite shows for delivering their lies on, where the lies go relatively unchallenged.

MSNBC is not a fact filled news organization. It is an infotainment organization. It depends on the shows and some of the show hosts, but much of infotainment is bullshit TV. Its primary objective is to sell advertising time. Over a third of every hour is devoted to corporate advertising, much for insurance and pharmaceutical ads.

[StarfishSaver]

11. Because he was anxious to get to the part where they

"talk about the key witnesses who are about to become stars."

That's exactly what he said ... Because facts, truth, democracy don't matter ... The important thing is who's going to become "stars" because of this.

[Garrett78]

14. I would watch Chuck Todd only if I desperately needed to induce vomiting.

Like so many members of the media, there is an apparent need to go out of one's way to act as though there is a debate when there isn't one, to act as though an expressed fact and a baseless opinion carry equal weight, to "teach the controversy" as evolution-deniers would argue.

And some are just right wing shills.

Part of the reason for this, I think, is that right wing attacks over the last 40+ years on the "liberal media" have been wildly successful. "Liberal media" is a household term. The GOP and its surrogates know how to frame things. They know how to shift the Overton Window in their favor (look no further than the fact that the likes of McCain and Kasich are called "moderate," which is an absolute joke when you look at their positions/votes). And they've faced insufficient pushback from those who think it's enough to simply "take the high ground."

[book_worm]

17. because he's a useless tool who likes to think he acts "bi-partisan"

[Iggo]

19. Because he's one of 'em.

[JHB]

20. Ask Chuck's boss

Whatever his job description might say, Chuck's performance review depends on pleasing the guy who signs his paycheck (Andy Lack? Phil Griffin?). He's doing what he's paid to do.
