That is probably the best counter example to what Chuck Todd is trying to say. I have stated that quotation from Rhodes many times. Also, the many instances that Rush has of the media spouting in the exact same phrase over and over again.

Chuck, you are dumber than a piece of rottedwood. You and your ilk are the cause. Wake up and face the truth.

Blaming Conservatives for why the press is untrustworthy is like blaming the Crusaders for the centuries of Muslim aggression that preceded them.

Great analogy!! That would make a great tag line 'cept it's too long :)

“Echo chamber”. Interesting choice of words.

To have an echo, there must be a surface that can reflect the sound, and an intervening space between the source of the sound and the wall or surface off which it bounces.

Flyover America lies between these to great combination reflection walls and noise generation points, the East Coast and the Left Coast. We hear those distant echos, but they come in such great profusion that almost no sense can be made of most of the noise, and therefore is ignored, many times, with no serious repercussions.

But once in a while, something almost understandable comes out of these competing sound sources, and it is enough to make the hackles stand straight up. Almost always, the alarm comes from realizing that once again, some long-held belief in the goodness of the wisdom of the Founding Fathers has been brought into question, and life is about to be upended for most Americans.

The response can be overwhelming for those of whom have come to expect compliance on earlier silliness, and now, the envelope just got pushed a little too far. What they get then, is not an echo, but a pretty darned sharp thunderclap.

I started distrusting media when they set up the Chevy Pickup with saddle tanks to burst into flames on side impact. They tried several times before but nothing happened. So NBC put an explosive charge in truck to explode on impact..

Thank you!

The tool of "projection" used by Progressives--for example, BC and HRC's Russia interactions and dealings prior to, and throughout the 2016 campaign, suddenly became projected onto her opponent and winner of that campaign, once election results were announced.

Such "Projection" by Dems should be anticipated, recognized, exposed and dealt with openly in the 2018 and 2020 cycles.

Yeah I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the (overwhelmingly) NY based media marches in lockstep to one particular ideology and one particular world view that is standard in the area where its based.

Its all just a right wing conspiracy. You’re totally fair and so balanced in everything you report. Really.

I know many of them are lying when they claim they are ethical and professional and moderate but I do get the impression at least some of them actually mean it and are just that deluded.

Dear Chuck Todd.

There are many sites that chronical media bias, false reporting, fake news and censorship. Thousands and thousands of examples. Here at FReerepublic, Todd, we have thousands and thousands of examples too.

Peruse the categories and pick your poison Chuck. Then get back to me why your network (and others), aren’t trusted and considered the DNC propaganda department.

The actual size of the “conservative echo chamber” is the size of a tuna can. Compare that to the size of the Rat fake news media echo chamber, probably the size of the largest NFL stadium (in comparison).

Nonetheless, our great President Trump kicks the fake news @sses nearly every day, and that’s what crybaby Chuck can’t stand.
