BREAKING : Chuck Todd Finally Admits the Media Tried to Help Hillary
The dishonest mainstream media shilled so hard for Hillary that they became more like a SuperPAC, working to help her win.
If anyone “interfered” in the 2016 U.S. election it was the media, with their lies, cover-up’s, Trump hit pieces, fake polls, fake news, and shamefully biased “reporting.”
Now, NBC anchor Chuck Todd finally admits that the media was aware of how unpopular Hillary was and they worked to help her.
From Washington Times
NBC’s Chuck Todd confessed that he and others in the mainstream news media played down just how despised Hillary Clinton was in the heartland due to the fear of appearing “sexist.”
What’s more, he admitted, the mainstream media failed to “tell the stories of all Americans.”
“Where I think political correctness got in the way of what we all knew as reporters and didn’t fully deliver was how hated the Clintons were in the heartland,” the “Meet the Press” host admitted Thursday to former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer in a interview for the “1947” podcast.
“And I think it was a fear of, ‘Oh, is it going to look like it’s sexist, anti-woman if we say that?’” he added, pointing out that on the hustings he saw numerous “Hillary for Prison” signs adorning the front yards of rural America.“I think we underplayed it a little bit out of political correctness fears,” Mr. Todd said. “No member of the press corps wants to look like they’re singling out a group and making a group feel bad, right, whatever that [group] is.
“If we sort of were straight-up honest and blunt about hey do we understand the level of hatred that’s out there and you know, all the Hillary for Prison signs that are out there, we certainly would have at least made the viewer know, hey, you know, she’s not well-liked in some places in this country in ways that’s times 10 when it comes to Trump,” he said.
“I think you’ve put your finger on the point I was making earlier about the self selection of reporters who go into journalism,” Mr. Fleischer replied. “And, because I do submit they’re largely from the same liberal caste, they see things through the same type of ideological lens, they’re so much more susceptible to that damning political correctness that blinds them. And they don’t see what you just said.”
Mr. Todd rejected the premise that NBC News or the media in general is driven to “undermine” Donald Trump’s presidency, but admitted there was a “coastal” bias in story selection during the 2016 presidential campaign that poorly served a national audience.
“What do I think we did wrong in this election? The biggest thing is we didn’t tell the stories of all Americans,” Mr. Todd said. “We told the stories of coastal Americans. And ultimately, that’s like the larger trust issue.”
“We were more likely to do a story about the Dreamer that might get deported with new policies than we were about the 19-year-old opioid addict who feels hopeless in Rolla, Missouri. And, I’m not, I don’t pick on Rolla, Missouri, it’s, my point is that we just, we did not equally tell those stories very well, right, and, we were not, that is an out-of-touch issue.”

You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to see the MSM liberal media was doing.. They’ve been doing since 2008
Those pos and they should be sued and off air.
Don’t forget News media basically spent 8 years providing air cover for Obama as well.
I only watch fox news because the other networks are fake news.
That’s just more media FAKE NEWS. Chuck Todd is throwing that out simply as a cover for the fact that the media was in the tank for Hillary, because she was carrying the water for their globalist agenda.
He now pretends that they “made the mistake” of being too “politically correct”. BULL! They were doing exactly what they wanted to do––stop Donald Trump. at any cost––even of to meant ripping the mask off their phony “objective reporting”, which they did. They reasoned, at the time, they could always come back and say they “made a mistake”, because they knew that there are enough brainwashed viewers out there who would believe them.
The important takeaway from all this is that the media is Trump’s enemy. The media IS THE OPPOSITION––not the Democrats. Trump has been chosen by God, Himself, to shepherd His people. Jesus Christ sees quite clearly that the pope and the modern bishops of the Catholic Church have abandoned His sheep after Vatican II (1962-1965). This may well be the Final battle that we are witnessing, so hold on to your hats; it’s going tone a wild ride.
Did Chuck Todd actually say all that with a straight face?
