Chuck Todd Is Incapable Of Competently Doing His Job And It's Destroying America
When Heather originally pulled this clip from Meet the Press, my initial intention was to criticize Rep. Liz Cheney for her ridiculous, but all-too-predictable Fox News-style smears against her fellow congressperson Ilhan Omar and the Democratic Party in general.
But the more I watched it, the more angry I got. Not at Liz Cheney (you can't be upset at a scorpion for being true to its nature), but at Chuck Todd and NBC News for giving him this platform that he is so woefully incapable of doing at all.
Let us take a moment to acknowledge the generational passing of the baton on Meet the Press. Seventeen and a half years ago, Dick Cheney appeared on the show to bald-face lie to host Tim Russert--who did not bother to challenge him--and led this country inexorably into a democracy-ruining war via dishonest right wing framing.
And here we sit, with Dick's spawn lying and making up utterly nasty, democracy-destroying lies without a peep of challenge by the even lesser Todd.
