Leaked Emails Show DNC Chair Told Chuck Todd Negative Coverage ‘Must Stop’ (Debbie Owns Chuck)
mediaite.com ^ | July 22nd, 2016

Posted on 07/23/2016 8:46:41 PM PDT by Helicondelta

Part of the cache of emails from top DNC officials reveals that DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz took issue with the negative coverage coming from MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski, going so far as to email NBC’s Chuck Todd to tell the anchor that it “must stop.”

The email was sent on May 18 to Todd with the subject “Chuck, this must stop.” In the email, Wasserman Schultz forwards Todd an article from Breitbart‘s Ian Hanchett glossing the criticism Wasserman Schultz had received from the Morning Joe co-host. Brzenzinski is quoted as saying that Wasserman Schultz “should step down” over her poor handling of the Democratic primary.

“Chuck, see below. I would like to discuss this with you today. Can you reach out to Luis to schedule a call? Thanks,” Wasserman Schultz writes.

Just before contacting Todd, in an email to DNC Communications Director Luis Miranda, Wasserman Schultz was more forceful, writing, “This is the LAST straw. […] This is outrageous. She needs to apologize.”

Todd replied to Wasserman Schultz with the hours that day he was available to speak, and she agrees to have Miranda set up a call.

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Lie for us American Press! Betray your journalist duty, and promote the party. In communism only the party matters as determined by the party leaders! We will tell you what your values are.

Is how you see yourselves as the press, what the Democrats want you to do?

I doubt this will hurt Hillary or the democrats at all. They’re that 47% Romney mentioned. They don’t care. They vote democrat and they vote for whomever they’re told to vote for.

What Trump has to do is watch his back, be prepared to answer the attacks with an even fiercer attack and keep voter fraud in check.

noooo Van Jones is a real life commie.... he makes sense once in a while about political in-fighting facts, but he’s not someone to be allowed anywhere near real influence.

There was so much pressure on Twitter today that CNN had to come out with a statement that they will cover DNCLeak tomorrow. (Sunday)

What will Chuck Todd do?

His reputation is shot now.

Does he double-Debbie down, or does he do a mea culpa?

From what i have noted seems Mika has backed off a lot from the incompetence she originally accused the washerwoman of displaying.Seems the dnc got to her.

on another tack:

Here is the bottom part of a linked e mail which shows what Sanders wants and how the DNC will do anything to keep him form having a huge impact on the convention.They want to control everything.

......................

..... A Sanders supporter told the Times, “We want to have progressive values and socialism on the convention’s agenda.” OK, but then what? It’s not clear how, exactly, one puts “socialism” on the “agenda,” but even if that were possible, what happens afterwards? > >

Tad Devine, a top Sanders strategist, told the Washington Post’s Greg Sargent yesterday that the Sanders campaign may ask for some changes among convention committee assignments. OK, but then what? What are the practical effects of changing which Democrats sit on which convention committees, and why should a second-place candidate dictate convention committees’ membership? > >

There are rumors about Sanders supporters preparing for civil disobedience and organized disruptions at the Democratic convention itself. OK, but then what? History has shown that convention protests, even intra-party protests, can lead to meaningful change, but even if progressive activists literally started fires on the convention floor, in a display of violent catharsis, how does that bring Sanders and his allies any closer to their goals? > >

The Times article added this key paragraph: > [Sanders’] newly resolute attitude is also the cumulative result of months of anger at the national Democratic Party over a debate schedule that his campaign said favored Mrs. Clinton; a fund-raising arrangement between the party and the Clinton campaign; the appointment of fierce Clinton partisans as leaders of important convention committees; and the party’s rebuke of Mr. Sanders on Tuesday for not clearly condemning a melee at the Nevada Democratic convention on Saturday. >

It’s worth noting, however, that the national Democratic Party agreed to expand the debate schedule, and it offered Sanders literally the identical fundraising arrangement it struck with the Clinton campaign.

Democratic officials also worked to make sure Sanders appeared on the New Hampshire and D.C. primary ballots, even after procedural and legal questions arose surrounding his eligibility – steps the DNC wouldn’t have taken if it were trying to rig the process against him. > >

There’s still time to avoid scenarios that could prove costly in the fall, but not a lot of time. Sanders believes, accurately, that he has some leverage: if he’s not satisfied with how the process unfolds in the coming weeks, the senator can sabotage the party’s ticket and elect President Trump. What’s less clear is what he’ll demand in exchange for his support.

What is so ironic is that for along time she,the washerwoman, didn't even live in her house district, being a dem means never having to say you are sorry.....

F.Chuck practically lives at MSNBC. That's what happens to older nbc types,Tom Brokechaw, and those who screw up like him and the former anchor Brian Williams.

Being banished to msnbc is like being a govt. agent banished to Siberia/Alaska. You are dead in the water until you retire, are fired, or join another driveby org.

I'm most disturbed about Bernie Sanders. He raised the hopes of his supporters, conning them into thinking he was serious about leading a movement. When he said that hillary's emails were not an issue that should be kept alive, most informed people realized Sanders wasn't serious about initiating change.

And look what happened. Sanders got a few meaningless statements that will be ignored. Then he violtated everything he says he believes in and supported hillary.

Those supporters, including many DNC delegates, are left with no leader. Of course they're mad as *ell. In contrast, when it got really nasty against Trump, he doubled down and found a way to defeat the Illuminati creeps.

This whole thing is astounding. Mygosh, we knew the uniparty elite were out of control, but I always thought that at some point they'd realized their game was over.

Meanwhile, Sanders gets to go back to being a lazy Senator from VT with no regard for the supporters who've been with him. What a shame their side didn't do better for a leader who actually cares about them.

JMHO....spelling it out in my own mind.

Chuck Todd worked for Chelsea Clinton’s father-in-law.

Like any of this is a surprise. Not.

Who does the Trump campaign contact at NBC to demand that they lay off the negative coverage of Republicans?

Under the constitution a congress critter only has to live in the state they are elected from. Washerwoman could live in Key West or Pensacola, and she’d be OK under the constitution.
