Yes, we all know Chuck Todd is a terrible pundit. But in in late December last year, he appeared to take a stand, solemnly pledging: “We will not give air time to climate deniers.” I was cynical, but merely saying it was a small step up from way down.
This Sunday, Chuck will host Liz “Worse than my Dad if that’s possible” Cheney on MTP.
Here’s what she’s had to say about climate change:
Liz Cheney: “Do NOTHING about climate change”
Liz Cheney: “The [Obama administration’s] assertions about climate change are junk science.”
If I were not writing this on my phone in a bookstore/coffeehouse, I would look up all the MTP guests this year and no doubt find many guests who violate Todd’s pledge But I just happened to read about her appearance on MTP this Sunday, and decided to go ahead with just her.
Of course, anyone who believed Chuck’s pledge initially was naive.
But it can’t hurt to point out how any supposed ‘courage’ by Todd et al. is illusory.
