NBC's Meet the Press faced criticism on Sunday after allowing Meghan McCain to lie about the popularity of President Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda.

"I will say that President Biden ran on being a moderate," McCain explained during a panel segment on the program. "He ran and won with the help of independent, centrists, Trump-wary Republicans and he's not governing as one."

"The Build Back Better agenda is the most progressive modern agenda of all time," she continued. "And it's not polling well. So I think I'm just confused why they're doubling down on something that is cratering in the polls."

But a recent poll found that the Build Back Better Act has support from 66% of Americans.

"It is polling well. Why let her come on to lie?" Washington Post columnist Jennifer Rubin asked Meet the Press on Twitter.

McCain responded but did not correct her misstatement.

"Joe Biden IS his agenda. A presidents [sic] polls mean something - that the American people aren't happy with how he's governing or his agenda," she wrote. "Also, if Dems plan is to buy off American voters they'd better come up with a solution to the inflation that is raising prices for everyone."

1. I wrote to them

and bitched about it

[Mike Nelson]

2. Ugh...

... Meet the Press... seriously? The show with Chuck Todd? I haven't watched it in years, although they do show clips from guest occasionally on other shows (even on other networks). Right now, I think Meghan McCain fits in beautifully. She can debate with Rick Sanatorium, Joe Scarborough, and Lindsay Graham.

3. Derilicition of journalist duty

Your not supposed to sit there like a emptyhead dummy, doofus, and let Republicans spout lies. Do your damn job. You are supposed to know the facts, and to bring them forward. MTP jumped the shark a long time ago. It totally sucks.

[Siwsan]

4. Why would any new show risk their credibility by having that screeching creature as a guest

She's an expert on nothing and she is a known habitual liar.

[Haggard Celine]

5. She's rich and her daddy was a Senator.

Those are the only qualifications she needs, apparently.

13. Chuck Todd runs the show. It lost any credibility since he came on

[Tetrachloride]

6. Chuck Todd is personally in charge

Don’t blame the faceless Meet The Press

Its Chuck Todd and his bosses.

7. The cast and crew of The View are still glad you're gone.

Who cares what you think?

[betsuni]

11. Such a relief that Meghan "I'm the only conservative voice on MSM TV" McCain is gone.

She was much more damaging on that show than she could ever be on Meet the Press.

19. Thank You for Posting .Chuck Todd..hasn't got a clue..He thinks he can get away with..."ANYTHING"

Maybe he can, but when this becomes well known around the country, I think Chuck Todd will be in deep trouble.

"MEET THE PRESS" a long time ago, used to be a standard for great journalism...Now, it is "horrific".
...and as said earlier........."Chuck Todd needs to be fired"

[BigBearJohn]

20. Chuck Todd is a moron. I can't even stand to look at him. Makes me sick.

[bullwinkle428]

21. At this point, Chuck Todd's main job appears to be "owning the libs".
