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.
