>> After a debate with a Trump's spokesperson, Chuck Todd made a ludicrous claim about MSNBC
in their coverage let's take a look. >> We'll have the brand new NBC News, Wall
Street Journal Poll will be unveiled today at 5 PM on Meet the Press Daily. And just
a reminder for what it's worth, there is no editorial point of view here on any of these
newscasts on MSNBC in the daytime.
>> Curious? Well obviously, the Trump campaign spokesperson was making ridiculous claims
and was accusing the media of bias in ways that don't make any sense. But progressives
know that MSNBC, and Chuck Todd specifically, has a very distinct point of view. A reminder
of what he said about Bernie Sanders supporters just some months ago.
>> Hey, I want to bring up something that Jonathan Lask put in the Bulwark today. And
it was about how in. We've all been on the receiving end of the Bernie online brigade.
And here's what he says, he says no other candidate has anything like this sort of digital
brown shirt brigade, I mean except for Donald Trump.
The question no one is asking is this, what if you can't win the presidency without an
online mob? >> Awesome conflating Bernie and Trump there
and Bernie Sanders is the most prominent Jewish presidential candidate we've had in a long
time. Calling his supporter's brown shirts because they have principles and no, they're
mean to the elites when we have terrible news coverage.
Wow, my heart weeps for you. >> But remember Emma, they have no point of
view whatsoever. >> Thank you, thank you.
>> The official objective view is that two plus two equals four, and Bernie Sanders supporters
are Nazis. Hey, it's just MSNBC all they do is report the news.
So look, in all seriousness, they're so biased they can't see their bias. They genuinely
believe that their status quo protecting establishment point of view is the truth. So on The Young
Turks, we fight for the truth and we tell you we're doing our best. We're being honest
with you, and we're trying to get at the truth, and some things are indisputable, two plus
two does equal four.
Okay? Vaccines are not gonna implant microchips so Bill Gates can follow you, and Tom Hanks
can pull you into a basement. Okay, there are facts in the world. But MSNBC and Chuck
Todd often present their policy opinions as facts. It's not just in the statements, it's
in the questions.
So when we talk about tax cuts, there's never the question of, how are you gonna pay for
that? Because the tax cuts go to them and their friends, right? When it gets to health
care for every American, which every other civilized developed country does. They turn
around, how we gonna pay for that?
And he says, wha, wha, why would I? Just ask the question. I don't think I've ever heard
other than when I used to be a comment on MSNBC, or question that Nancy Pelosi herself
wouldn't have written. >> Well, all they're doing is calling balls
and smears jank. Wait.
>> Yeah, no, I mean, he's trying to make a distinction with the daytime coverage there,
dude, you're on in the daytime. I mean, and we just saw that clip, I don't even know how
to get through to them at this point. They're all in their own bubble and it's it sickening,
to be honest.
>> No, no to be fair, the guy who said that Bernie Sanders will round up rich people to
shoot them in Central Park was Chris Matthews. And that was in primetime, not daytime, which
is vastly different than MSNBC. And so he's now being replaced by Joy Ried. Who is perhaps
the only person more opposed to Progressives, on all of cable news, than Chris Matthews.
So? >> Well, she just tweeted that she's warming
to Medicare for all. Now that Bernie Sanders is no longer a threat to be President, she
can come out with her true opinion and say, okay, a single parent might be alright.
>> Well, wow, magnanimous of her. Is she now merciful.?
So, Chuck, you don't realize it, but you're in the middle of groupthink. And you think
the status quo and establishment is awesome, and you smear everyone who isn't, you definitely
have a point of view. You just privilege it as the one that everyone should have. And
that's why people don't like media and they can't stand the establishment media and may
find it unbearable, so my god, am I a brigade an online brigade?
