Good news, Brian Stelter! NBC’s Chuck Todd has finally given you a way to talk about his and “Meet the Press’s” now-infamous attempt to deceptively frame Attorney General Bill Barr’s remarks over the weekend — without actually having to blame Todd or “Meet the Press”!
Behold:
Update: Chuck Todd offered an apology for his gross deceptive edit of AG Bill Barr.
He claims "We did not edit that out. That was not our edit. We did not include it because we only saw the shorter of two clips CBS did air."
That's an explanation I'm not buying one bit. pic.twitter.com/OdJ4IfOg5w

We don’t blame you for not buying it. Everyone’s BS detector should be going crazy right now.

Who does Chuck Todd think he’s fooling? Other than his audience, that is.
Shouldn't "reporters" watch the entire interview then report?

Here is the original clip from Sunday. You can clearly see that Bill Barr continues talking after they cut him off.
Either they deliberately edited his words out of context or the MSNBC producers are complete dumbasses. pic.twitter.com/FauQNofJwy
