NBC News’ Chuck Todd really opened a can of worms with this claim:
In sports and politics, when athletes/candidates are complaining about the refs, it usually means they are losing. And it is NEVER becoming

Is he saying the mainstream media are the referees of politics and the GOP is complaining about the “refs”?

Isn’t it though?
If the MSM are “referees,” many pointed out that the game appears to be fixed:

@chucktodd Are you actually claiming the media are the referees in politics? Haha! What's the color of the sky in your world?

.@chucktodd It is deeply problematic that reporters think they, rather than voters, are the "refs" in politics.

.@chucktodd When refs keep calling charges for air flops against one team, and allow other to double dribble at will, time to get new refs.

And when the media displays an unapologetic bias on behalf of one party, then the complaints are not only justified but necessary @chucktodd

Sorry @chucktodd but I have to explain why you're an idiot: In sports/politics the media is the media. You're not the referees of anything.

Todd to HRC: How great are you
Todd to Romney: Why so evil?

What about when the refs are clearly wearing the jersey of one of the teams? https://t.co/xhljo1z80C

When a bunch of refs are married to players on one of the teams, those complaints become more valid. https://t.co/OhV8AEvpTC

Unless Hillary does it. Then the "refs" see the error of their ways and adjust behavior accordingly. https://t.co/OocoVxuPI9

@redsteeze But if the refs changed the meanings of plainly worded rules to affect the outcome of a game, there would be a problem right?

It’s not enough for our political media to be biased. They must also condescend to those they routinely dismiss: https://t.co/MpN4quTIYK

@chucktodd If you are claiming to be the ref in politics try accurate reporting. Don't edit to create news.

@chucktodd You aren't the refs, sleepy eyes, you are reporters. REPORT news, don't make it – or act on behalf of candidates you prefer!

Yep. Just ask those “reporters” who were at John Podesta’s “off the record” dinner.
