Chuck Todd: Media knew how hated Hillary was in heartland and underplayed it

NBC’s Chuck Todd confessed that he and others in the mainstream news media played down just how despised Hillary Clinton was in the heartland due to the fear of appearing “sexist.”
What’s more, he admitted, the mainstream media failed to “tell the stories of all Americans.”
“Where I think political correctness got in the way of what we all knew as reporters and didn’t fully deliver was how hated the Clintons were in the heartland,” the “Meet the Press” host admitted Thursday to former Bush White House press secretary Ari Fleischer in a interview for the “1947” podcast.
“And I think it was a fear of, ‘Oh, is it going to look like it’s sexist, anti-woman if we say that?’” he added, pointing out that on the hustings he saw numerous “Hillary for Prison” signs adorning the front yards of rural America.
“I think we underplayed it a little bit out of political correctness fears,” Mr. Todd said. “No member of the press corps wants to look like they’re singling out a group and making a group feel bad, right, whatever that [group] is.
“If we sort of were straight-up honest and blunt about hey do we understand the level of hatred that’s out there and you know, all the Hillary for Prison signs that are out there, we certainly would have at least made the viewer know, hey, you know, she’s not well-liked in some places in this country in ways that’s times 10 when it comes to Trump,” he said.

They made a decision to downplay the hatred to save her campaign... and in the process lost the election AND the media's reach because everyone knows they were full of shite.

They were no different than her paid advisors who were too busy kissing her arse to say what she needed to hear.

Meaning of they could just pull off this scam ONE MORE TIME - they would promise to themselves to do better in the future

I long for a return back to the age of actual news. What you guys wont admit is that BOTH sides have fallen for the age of cable editorial news. Republicans only watch Fox. Editorial News infused with right wing opinion. It just doesnt bother you because you agree with it.
The problem is editorial cable news. Programs that dont bash the other side get trash ratings.

Wonder if Chuck Todd knows that he is the most despised host of "Meet the Press Ever"
It is amazing if you consider how bad he is, because he is even worse than Gregory was.

bullshite.
Chuck really is just covering his arse here and he's lying his arse off. He wants to sound like he saw this coming and he wasn't surprised.
He had no idea just how hated Hillary was in the rust belt as Bernie winning the Michigan primary should've been a huge clue.

And they double-downed on this sentiment last week when all of that bull-shite was happening all across the country.

And yet, to this day, they are doing exactly this when they portray Trump voters.

Not to mention more people in Michigan showed up for the Republican primaries than the Democrat primaries. That single fact is when the sirens started going through my head that Trump was going to win the election, since I thought Trump secured Florida through directly addressing what happened in the Orlando Massacre.

Chuck should renounce his citizenship along with each and every other HRC supporter, (including you Hugo). I know you're watching.
Anyone that can tank this country for that evil bitch is not an American. Thank God Trump was willing to run this country as a business and strip the power from the establishment.
