This one's making the rounds big time, so why not pile on a little?
Todd's main "point" is that if he barks at the politicians who make statements that are obviously untrue, then those politicians won't come on the show again. As long as he doesn't call 'em on their bullshit, he'll always have a steady stream of "News Makers" on the show in order to attract lotsa viewers who'll absorb some of the enlightening messages from all those ads about Lockheed's F35 and Raytheon's new E-Surveilance Software and the killer drones from General Atomics (yes, that's a real company).
That's what makes sense now. That's what passes for reasoning. Chuck Todd doesn't want people who don't tell the truth to stop coming on his TV show.
I'm not big on arguing from a strictly binary position, but this one's kinda hard to avoid: Chuck Todd wants people to lie to us, on his show.
What exactly would be the harm in keeping liars off your show, UpChuck?
