During the political panel discussion on NBC’s Meet the Press on Sunday, moderator Chuck Todd fretted that the removal of an FBI agent from Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation for sending anti-Trump text messages might be “bordering into thought police territory.” The group proceeded to worry that the President would use the incident to discredit the probe.

“Horrible 48 hours for the President with this investigation, but he was handed one helpful PR moment here....an FBI agent was just removed from Bob Mueller’s team for anti-Trump texts,” Todd proclaimed. He revealed his concern over the move: “I have to say, part of me thought, wait a minute, are we bordering into thought police territory?”

Todd again sneered about how it would help Trump: “But it does give the President a PR tool here and to at least throw to his supporters saying, ‘Aha! Bias in the Mueller probe.’”

Moments later, political analyst Mike Murphy complained that the President would rightfully point out the removal:

The President is a genius at taking something like this and blowing it up to titanic size. We are going to hear so much about this now. It will eclipse the investigation for a while, at least on the conservative side of the media.

Liberal Princeton University Professor Eddia Glaude Jr. chimed in with his own whining: “And it’s always designed to really undermine the value – the truth value of the press, the truth value of the investigation, to leave doubt once the conclusions are drawn.”

Speaking of undermining “the truth value of the press,” the Sunday show completely ignored reporter Brian Ross being suspended from ABC News for getting a scoop about former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn’s guilty plea completely wrong. Monday’s network morning shows all avoided reporting on their colleague’s temporary dismissal.

In these two instances, federal authorities and the liberal media discredited themselves, regardless of Trump’s remarks.

On Monday’s Today show, reporter Hallie Jackson immediately attempted to discredit the President’s reaction by citing an Obama administration official blasting Trump:

Now, it’s another tweet from the President raising eyebrows, after reports an FBI agent was taken off Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation for reportedly sending anti-Trump texts, President Trump tweeting, “The agency’s reputation is in Tatters – worst in History!” That’s not sitting well with Eric Holder, the former attorney general, firing back, “You’ll find integrity and honesty at FBI headquarters and not at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue right now.”

Meanwhile, ABC’s Good Morning America skipped the news completely.

The biased conversation on Meet the Press was brought to viewers by Merrill Lynch, Neutrogena, and FedEx.
