CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 29, 2021
CHUCK TODD IS THE HOST OF “MEET THE PRESS” ON NBC AND THAT NETWORK’S POLITICAL
DIRECTOR. IN A RECENT INTERVIEW, HE DENIED THERE WAS A LIBERAL BIAS IN THE MEDIA, SO IT MUST BE
TRUE, RIGHT
WE’VE HEARD THIS DENIAL OVER SO MANY YEARS AND FROM SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ARE OBVIOUSLY
BIASED THAT IT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY TO HAVE TO PROVE IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.
MANY OF THESE PEOPLE, TODD INCLUDED, ONCE WORKED FOR DEMOCRATS. THE KINDS OF PEOPLE
THEY INTERVIEW TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT WHERE THEY ARE COMING FROM. AND THEIR QUESTIONS ARE
USUALLY SOFTBALLS TO DEMOCRATS – LIKE WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM JOE BIDEN, OR YOUR
PREFERRED UNDERWEAR BILL CLINTON?
TODD SAYS THERE ARE NOT TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY. HE SAYS CLIMATE CHANGE IS SETTLED
SCIENCE, WHICH IT IS NOT, AND THAT HE WILL HAVE NO GUEST ON HIS PROGRAM WHO DOESN’T BELIEVE
IN IT.
POLLS SHOW MOST AMERICANS THINK THE MEDIA HAVE MORE THAN A LEFT-WING TILT. IT IS THE
ONLY INDUSTRY THAT DOESN’T CARE WHAT CONSUMERS THINK. THAT’S WHY RATINGS ARE DOWN AND
SUBSCRIPTIONS TO NEWSPAPERS ARE OFF. AND THESE ARE FACTS, NOT BIAS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
