Media Executive Zeroes In on Media's 'Blindspot' With NBC News' Atrocious Deceptive Editing of AG Barr

Trump is in office, so deceptive edits were always going to happen because the liberal media is a Trump-deranged circus act right now. The amount of times they’ve been wrong has been epic. Even things that aren’t even Trump-related, like the possible death of North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, was a total whiff. NBC News’ Katy Tur threw gasoline on this one when she said it was confirmed by two US officials that Kim was braindead after heart surgery. The tweet was soon deleted, but the media blew the story and no consequences were rendered. Kim is alive, by the way. Well, it looks like Tur isn’t the only one peddling fake news. Enter Chuck Todd, host of Meet the Press, and a fixture of American political news. Oh, how the mighty have fallen here. Todd had his moments of bias, but this is on a new level. He used a deceptively edited quote from Attorney General Barr about the Department of Justice’s decision to drop the criminal charges against Michael Flynn after it was exposed that he was a victim of an FBI entrapment plot. Todd proceeded to have a panel discussion about it. It was all nonsense. Bronson wrote about it over the weekend:

NBC's Chuck Todd played a deceptively edited clip of Attorney General William Barr's response to a question regarding the attorney general's decision to dismiss charges against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Not only were Barr's comments taken out of context, Chuck Todd accused Barr of not citing "the rule of law" when the attorney general specifically stated the "rule of law" in his answer.

"In closing, this was a big decision in the Flynn case, to say the least. When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written? What will it say about your decision making?" asked CBS' Catherine Herridge during an interview with Attorney General Barr on Thursday.

"Well, history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who's writing the history. But I think a fair history would say that it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law. It helped, it upheld the standards of the Department of Justice, and it undid what was an injustice," Barr responded.

NBC edited the video of Barr's answer to remove the whole "rule of law" part, and then Chuck Todd accused the attorney general of failing to cite the rule of law in his answer.
