‘YOU’RE CORRECT’: NBC’s ‘Meet The Press’ Admits They Altered/Edited AG Barr To Deceive the American People

33

Watch how the serial liar Chuck Todd deceptively edited AG Barr’s comments on “Meet The Press,” when asked about his decision to exonerate General Flynn. Absolutely appalling. President Trump is 100 percent correct. The mainstream media is the enemy of the people, and they are also OUT. OF. CONTROL!

‘YOU’RE CORRECT’: NBC’s ‘Meet The Press’ Admits Their Segment On AG Barr Was Not Accurate

By Daily Wire, May 10, 2020

NBC News’ “Meet The Press” admitted late on Sunday that their segment earlier in the day on remarks made by Attorney General William Barr last week was false after host Chuck Todd was called out publicly by a spokesperson for the Department of Justice.

The remarks that “Meet The Press” deceptively edited came from the following exchange from an interview that Barr had with CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge:

HERRIDGE: In closing, this was a big decision in the Flynn case, to say the least. When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written? What will it say about your decision making

BARR: Well, history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who’s writing the history. But I think a fair history would say that it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law. It helped, it upheld the standards of the Department

Todd’s segment only aired the first two sentences from Barr’s answer and cut off the rest.

Todd then said, “I was struck … by the cynicism of the answer. It’s a correct answer. But he’s the attorney general. He didn’t make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a political job.”

Barr spokeswoman Kerri Kupec responded to the segment by transcripts from Todd’s segment and from Barr’s interview last week and wrote: “Very disappointed by the deceptive editing/commentary by @ChuckTodd on @MeetThePress on AG Barr’s CBS interview. Compare the two transcripts below. Not only did the AG make the case in the VERY answer Chuck says he didn’t, he also did so multiple times throughout the interview.”

“Meet The Press” later responded to her tweet, writing, “You’re correct. Earlier today, we inadvertently and inaccurately cut short a video clip of an interview with AG Barr before offering commentary and analysis. The remaining clip included important remarks from the attorney general that we missed, and we regret the error.”

The statement from “Meet The Press” was considered suspect by many online who noted that their claim that they “missed” Barr’s remarks was hard to believe given the fact that remarks they cut out were literally the very next words out of his mouth.

Daily Caller reporter Greg Price tweeted: “There was nothing inadvertent about it. Chuck Todd says Barr ‘didn’t make the case that he is upholding the rule of law’ when that was literally the next thing Barr does in the clip that you cut off. Your apology is meaningless unless you issue an on air retraction.”

I am former news director at Sacramento station over 20 years ago. Conservatives don’t last long in the news biz my ride was not even 3 months. What UpChuck Todd is doing is done every weekend on local new as they are all part of the same cabal. Nothing will change until we hit them in their advertising and boycott their advertisers, write letters to those same advertisers explaining to them why you will never use their product or service. It takes time to write a letter, print it out, and put it in the mail. Emails are far less effective but hand written letters get the attention of the advertisers boss. This also means not watching shows on NBC, NOT subscribing to Peacock, and and posting in social media to let them feel the wrath of our numbers.

NBC’s outright and outlandish lie is one of the numerous lies, perfidy propagated by NBC and its equally perfidious MSM counterparts. Today’s journalism is not journalism but unmitigated propaganda, indoctrination of the vacuous, the Leftist dullards. Their dissemination of tenets, unbridled fear-mongering, the abject hatred for the Constitution, or those in disaccord to the Leftists’ totalitarian endeavors. The MSM is no more than a Fifth Column in the back pocket of the so-called Democratic Party.

These alleged news sources, the social network, and others are quintessentially propagandists, apologists, betrayers to not only America but to the craft, some still call journalism. The said craft is by-and-large dead, thanks to the faux-Democrats and its MSM confederates.

My deceased mother called it “journalistic license.” She practiced this all the time. I’m pretty sure God has another name for it.

I am afraid not. Mom functioned exactly like those who twist the truth to suit their agenda. The worst part of it is that she truly believed that God didn’t care if she lied because He had really assigned her to “fix” other people. Unfortunately for her eternal life she was able to work hard and give lots of money to carnal “Christians” who would praise her to the heavens for her help. The problem was she was, in my opinion, never really saved. That’s a long story but I do think she was a false convert and managed to stay that way her whole life because everyone would laugh off some things about her enjoyment of twisting truth and manipulating people because she would do nice things. It made me sick that I was the only one who would tell her she was wrong. Won’t go into details. She sincerely believed that she was the best Christian ever, and I don’t like to consider where I think she really is now.

I am not dissing mother. From a deliverance standpoint, I understand the extreme poverty and since of shame she had during the Depression after her well employed dad got cancer and died. A spirit of rejection can cause one to go into serious false pride. She was the worst case I have ever seen. The reason God asks us to not compare ourselves one to another is because He doesn’t want any of us walking out another person’s identity. He has something special for each of us to do. Jealousy of another and/or a too strong desire to show everybody a thing or two cuts that off. But all these people wanted special favors and didn’t care that they were basically props for someone’s false pride. And they were.

MW I want to remark your very moving post. You speak a resonating truth and one not easy to say.

it will be a blessing to many because it addresses key issues re: Salvation. I esp. remark it because I behaved very dishonestly for part of my life and actually thought it was OK: I became a lawyer late in life, and everybody else was lying to beat the band so I figured I’d join in lest I “endanger” my client by not doing so. But also and truly it was something I saw growing up too so…

Almighty God in His infinite mercy converted me and I cannot tell you what a difference a truthful life is, as opposed to a lying one. I realized I couldn’t continue to do any work where I’d have to go down that road and that was scary; thought I’d have no work. No way! Different work now, but most certainly work and work I LOVE.

Thank you dear friend-

You have such a wonderful testimony. God apparently opened the door to something He knew you would love. By the way, I wanted to be a lawyer more than anything in the world, and never got around to it. I wanted to study Constitutional Law. The Left seized control of Law long ago.

Most of my life I though God hated me before I was even born due to things I was taught very early that I now know as religious spirited twisting of His truth. It affected my life in all regards. I can’t believe the difference in the person I am since I found the truth. And yes, it was very hard for me to say the things I said. I see how the enemy got to work in an extremely poor girl (mom) whose dad died at 8, and started planting false pride and wrong beliefs in her head. She couldn’t be delivered because there were too many people supporting her pride. I’m glad God shot down my anger and false pride so I could be redeemed. As you have no doubt figured out, this is a story about the need for deliverance ministry, something most of the church totally ignores. I believe God has been teaching me some things for a while so I can help someone else see clearly. Thank you for your kind remarks and your wonderful testimony. A testimony is a powerful witness.

Thanks, MW, for your forthright, eloquent post. We all have encountered people suffering from similar perfidy or falsity when it comes to one’s faith. I, for one, do not consider myself a great example as a Christian. It does not mean that I do not endeavor to maintain the principles of Christianity, but like many, I am flawed. The latter of which I do not hide or secret, as G-d grasps my and other’s weaknesses. Movingwaters is a suiting pseudonym, stay safe and healthy.

Not only am I flawed, sometimes lately I think I am getting worse. It is a challenging time. You know what they say about the true Christian life being simple, but not easy. I am one of those “least in the Kingdom” types but I do have a desire for people to know the goodness of God.

Indeed but you are not alone; not that it makes you feel worthier. I, as do many, struggle day-by-day in my endeavor to becoming a better Christian. I suspect in my day of judgement my final grade will be posted; which is not far off.
