Full title: Chuck Todd: American Distrust Of Media Created By "Conservative Echo Chamber," "Not Based In Much Fact"
On Sunday's edition of 'Meet the Press,' NBC's Chuck Todd disagreed with CBN's David Brody that the American public is right not to trust the mainstream media.
"I'd say on the Republican side they got exactly what they wanted, a guy that was going to shake things up. Look, I think one of the best things going in Donald Trump's favor-- we know this-- is the mainstream media. I hate to say it. I know I'm sitting on a Meet the Press roundtable, but the truth of the matter is 62% think the media is biased," Brody said.
No, Chuck Todd said, "The conservative echo chamber created that environment... It has been a tactic and a tool of the Roger Ailes created echo chamber."
...
"I take your point. I'm just saying it was a creation -- it was a campaign tactic. It's not based in much fact," Todd also said.

Like some sort of Vast Right Wing Conspiracy, eh?
No, it was created by the press being in the tank for the Left, and as that in-the-tankness has grown so too has the distrust.
Blaming Conservatives for why the press is untrustworthy is like blaming the Crusaders for the centuries of Muslim aggression that preceded them.
Oh my, the headline ‘Hitler says, “Jewish distrust of Germany due to Zionist echo chamber””
Uh, no, douchebag. That wound is 100% self-inflicted due to the media being 100% the arm of the DemocRAT party.
One of the “creators” of not only Fake News, but complete mistrust of the media, is none other than Dan Rather...
Then the next day, Chuck Todd to Lanny Davis: "Other Than Michael Cohen's Word," Is There Any Corroborating Evidence?Link here
Reality settled in, Chuck became PANICKED.
Chuck needs to buy a mirror.
“Conservative Echo Chamber”
He speaks like someone who does not talk with or listen to conservatives, revealing his bias.
Echo..Echo..Echo
Collusion..collusion..collusion...
Impeach..impeach..impeach...
Russians..Russians..Russians...
I look forward to reading news of Chuck’s accidental suicide by autoerotic asphyxiation.
Oh yes Chuck, it is never, ever about you and your brethren.
The press has been a bone with conservatives since Vietnam.
The following quotation was cited on June 2, 2018, by TownHall from a Washington Post article:
"Rhodes set up a team of staffers who were focused on promoting the deal, which apparently included the feeding of talking points at useful times in the news cycle to foreign policy experts who were favorably disposed toward it. We created an echo chamber, he told the magazine. They [the seemingly independent experts] were saying things that validated what we had given them to say. (Emphasis added)
Me: American Distrust Of Media Created By “Media being Untrustworthy”
“But Hillary, the DNC and those PACs...”
“Move along! Nothing to see! Nothing to see!”
It is because of left wing assholes like you Chuckie that the people have a legitimate disdain for mainstream media
That 62% distrust figure is devastating. Even if you assume 10 or 20% of that is on the left (probably mostly “BernieBros”), it still means that the mainstream media/Democratic Party view of the world is in the minority.
