Chuck Todd Abandons Both Siderism: Only The 'Kool Aid Orbit' Supports Trump, Nunes
What happened to the Chuck Todd of yesterday, bending himself into a pretzel to make the plight of DACA recipients a "both sides" responsibility?
That Chuck Todd was nowhere in sight on Andrea Mitchell's show this afternoon. What you're seeing instead is a real-time awakening that once again Cable News has been taken for a ride by this so-called president. (Yes, we also know Andrea Mitchell isn't that great at ad lib, but kudos to her for mentioning Fox News.)
ANDREA MITCHELL: Chuck Todd, here you have an echo chamber where people who go to one news organization or another are going to be reaffirmed, the president will watch Fox News and say "you see, I really was being victimized," and by the time the Democratic memo, if they do decide to release something, catches up with it or commentary... even when the so-called torture report, which John McLoughlin just referred to, was released separately by Dianne Feinstein and by the then, minority view from the Republicans on the Senate Intelligence Committee, they were simultaneously released, so you could at least look at both sets of facts.
CHUCK TODD: Well, it goes to what John McLoughlin talked about earlier when he lamented the fact that this is probably permanently going to change -- I say permanently, it's going to take a good decade, I think, frankly, for the relationship between the legislative branch and the intelligence community to get repaired. This is going to be the partisan skepticism that's going to be there for frankly for some time now, I think. It's going to be something that it's going to make it feel like sort of the relationship that Congress had with the CIA in the '70s, to be honest, and some of that. So it is going to damage that for a long time.
