Nice try, Chuck Todd
In this era the Democrats on the whole tend to be far more competent, honest, and non-scandalous than the Republicans. That’s a problem for those in the media who think their job is to paint both sides as being the same, such as Meet The Press host Chuck Todd, whose middle name is probably “false equivalence.”
Awhile back, Chuck Todd made the bizarre statement that if President Biden didn’t vaccinate 100 million Americans in his first 100 days, his presidency would somehow be a “failure.” Nevermind that Biden is cleaning up a mess made by the former guy, who let the pandemic rage out of control throughout 2020.
Now it turns out President Biden has more than cleared that bar, as one of the Meidas Touch guys just reminded us all:
If Chuck Todd and other false equivocators in the media are going to play these kinds of gotcha games against President Biden, they’re going to have to try harder than that.
