Shame on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”
Shady editing on Sunday made a point that simply wasn’t true and, worse, made Attorney General William Barr unfairly look bad. In a time when all media is fighting against charges of fake news, this inexcusable moment only lends credence to those who believe the press is out to get President Donald Trump and his administration.
During a panel discussion, “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd set up a question for Peggy Noonan (fast-forward to the 43:25 mark) by showing a clip of Barr appearing on “CBS This Morning” last week. Barr was asked how history will remember the decision to request that charges against former national security adviser Michael Flynn be dropped.
