https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8304375/Justice-Department-slams-Chuck-Todd-deceptively-editing-footage-Attorney-General-William-Barr.htmlDonald Trump urges NBC to FIRE
Chuck Todd after Meet The Press 'deceptively' edited clip of Bill Barr discussing the Michael Flynn case and made it seem like his decision to drop the charges was politically motivated
A spokeswoman for the Department of Justice accused NBC's Chuck Todd of deliberately editing a clip of Attorney General William Barr
Todd asked Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan about recent remarks Barr made regarding the dropped case against former national security adviser
The clip saw Barr being asked how history might view his efforts to dismiss charges against Lt. Gen. Micheal Flynn
In the CBS clip Barr was seen to fully justify his actions but in the excerpt used by NBC the clip was cut short implying Barr did not make the case for his decision
Todd accused Barr of not mentioning anything about 'the rule of law' when in reality, the attorney general was heard to say the ruling 'upheld the rule of law'

Hard to know who to root for in this fight. NBC should have fired Chuck for his shoddy journalism

Looks like there might have been a miscomunication between Todd and the writers.

Barr's statement was brought up as a cynical attitude concerning how his policies would be remembered, but then Todd injected the remark that he didn't really defend the decision. It really does show a cynical attitude on Barr's part.
I know a lot of people on this board don't like Todd. He is an objective journalist who is not afraid to put some bite into his commentary unlike some of the other infotainment hosts. If he thinks the Democrats or the Republicans have a problem, he will state it. That's why I watch him every chance I get. If we only get our information from people who are in the tank for the Democrats, it's not good for us or the country.
