Chuch Todd deceptively edited a video of Bill Barr, and got called on it.

Summary :

05/10/2020 Chuch Todd deceptively edited a video of Bill Barr, and omitted the context that Todd goes on to criticize Barr over. Whether Todd was trying to entrap his interviewee, just make Barr look bad, bury the evidence that it was a good ruling, or all of the above, that's not what anyone that calls themselves a Journalist is supposed to do.

Question:

The attorney general was asked during a CBS interview how he thinks the history will be judge his decision to drop the charges against Flynn.

Shortened version:

“Well, history is written by the winner,” Barr responded. “So it largely depends on who’s writing the history.”

Todd claimed that the attorney general did not make the case that he was upholding the rule of law, which he said is close to admitting that “this is a political job.” The full version of the clip went on:

“ But I think a fair history would say it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law, it upheld the standards of the Department of Justice, and it undid what was an injustice.”

May 10th, on Meet the Press

Todd said he didn't mention the 'the rule of law' or explained himself well -- when the full clip certainly did both. Chuck apologized when called on it.
