The mainstream media is ridiculous when it comes to covering President Donald Trump in a fair and non-partisan way.

They have also been prone to spreading fake news about the president and Republicans in teir quest to damage the presidency.

Which is why it was rich when MSNBC and NBC “Meet The Press” host Chuck Todd gave an interview to Rolling Stone about his special to combat fake news.

“For the last two or three years we’ve been pondering a social media special like this. Last year we focused on climate change. But had we not done climate change, we were in the social media world thinking about what it was doing to our politics.

“And then you realize it’s the misinformation. This is bigger than social media. The Ukraine story for me really crystallized it. And for good or bad, our show has been at the forefront of this.

“The first Sunday of the Trump administration is when the phrase, ‘alternative facts’ was debuted. It was on Meet the Press Rudy that Giuliani used the phrase ‘Truth isn’t truth,’” he said.

“So look, whether we’d liked it or not, our platform has been used, or they’ve attempted to use our platform to essentially disseminate, or to sort of, what I would say, is lay the groundwork for this,” he said.

This is a man who works for a network, MSNBC, where hosts Rachel Maddow, Joy Ann Reid and the king of fake news, Brian Williams, have spread fake news.

“Look, I’ll just be honest, when I had the third senator [to spread Russian disinformation], Senator Ted Cruz, come on my show and do this — who I did not expect to do this — I started to think, he wants the confrontation. He wants to use this for some sort of appeasement of the right.

“I didn’t know what else to think. I was stunned because he’s a Russia hawk. He spent the entire week showcasing his hawkishness on Russia. Threatening the administration on the pipeline in Germany and really be there.

“So the reason I, and I’m sorry I ever showed an expression, the reason that the expression on my face went viral, I think, I was genuinely shocked.

“And by the way, they came to us. They came to us saying they wanted to come on this week. And I really naively thought, maybe he wants to remind people that with Russia [and blaming Ukraine] this is getting ridiculous. And it turned out not to be the case,” he said.

The frightening thing is that he is serious. But it did not take long for him to get shredded on Twitter for it.

Chuck Todd is the Principle Skinner Children who are wrong meme, walking and talking. You lied to people, Your corporate media world lies to people, Chuck. People got tired of it.
