One of our favorite timelines on Twitter belongs to @AG_Conservative because time and time again he seems to do the media’s job BETTER than they do. Take for example what happened this morning when Chuck Todd simply quoted Sen. Cory Gardner who repeated a basic fact that has been confirmed by several judges in Florida.
Excuse me?
Maybe you don't follow the news very closely, but a judge found that what Gardner said was 100% true. cc: @ddale8 https://t.co/8mJiQfJKwX https://t.co/ryp2T2SOAz

AG is tweeting with a senior reporter for the Guardian, Jon Swaine, who after getting dragged deleted his original tweet accusing Chuck of sharing a ‘wildly partisan allegation’.
Recap: Cory Gardner repeats a basic fact that has been confirmed by several judges in Florida.
A reporter chooses to attack Chuck Todd for quoting Gardner, and refers to that fact as a "wild partisan allegation.
Other reporters then choose to spread that false attack.

They’re seriously like a wild pack of hyenas.
I wrote yesterday about how local FL media has been great, but national reporters have been awful on this FL situation. This is a great example of it. One side has been breaking the laws and national reporters have ignored it to try to discredit those calling them out.

Local media in Florida is concerned about the story, national media is concerned with the narrative.
Clearly.
And deleted….
Saving here for prosperity. I hope he also posts a correction for those that saw it and assumed it was accurate. pic.twitter.com/nrl1vefXpR

A correction? We wouldn’t count on it.
I look forward to you deleting and apologizing: https://t.co/5EMQO814wX

Or the apology.
And as for the pack of hyenas?
Some journalists are up to the task of the Trump era. @chucktodd is not one of them.

Week after week, Chuck Todd makes himself and his show a willing amplifier for uncontested lies by Republicans. He could’ve tweeted this story instead of the below if he had even a casual for the truth. https://t.co/iHA7g2huJX https://t.co/pOAHOCFSOl

NBC could hire a stenographer to take Chuck Todd's place and save themselves a boatload of money. https://t.co/b7JDcoX8rr

OMG CHUCK QUOTED A REPUBLICAN, GRAB YOUR TORCHES AND PITCHFORKS.
These people.
Young journalists: when someone tells you a lie on the record, you stop them and say “that is not true.” This rule also applies to old journalists and Chuck Todd, a non-journalist. https://t.co/JRLZBWCdnQ

How, after all these years, is Chuck Todd so bad at this? You can’t just repeat things that are patently false without adding a disclaimer. Putting it in quotes isn’t an excuse, this is spreading disinformation. https://t.co/52r1iVEwcA

Glad Chuck Todd has Republicans on to lie about voter fraud and breaking the law and then passes it along uncritically. You’re doing a great job, as always ? https://t.co/sWCtdZdcy5

They’re seriously like a frothy mob, right?
Lol. No one cares what Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd thinks. MTP is irrelevant now. No one cares about him or it. https://t.co/b3LFIMHHNC

Hey Chuck, THIS is the Left.
Have fun with that.
