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)
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.
You know, Todd said ‘not much facts’. I
n fact, he didn’t want you dig that one specifically up.
