Is this because he asked her real questions in one interview? This is your "evidence"?

(24,853 posts)That was a buncha money flushed down the toilet wasn't it. Where did the bulk of her campaign money come from? Did Matthews work for The Foundation?
Political/Journalistic incest.

(135,425 posts)was running in the primary. In fact, that's how I found out she was in the race. I remembered her from DC television, where she was one of the anchors.
This is news about Chuckie's wife. I don't recall him ever saying a word about it. If you've got video of him before his Sanders interviews saying "Gee, folks, just so you're aware, my wife does work for this guy's campaign..." I'd love to see it.
It's not like she did just a bit of piece work for him either. Her firm--the firm she CO-founded--has sucked over a million and a quarter out of the Bernie 2016 campaign...and they're not done yet.
If, on top of this obvious breach of journalistic etiquette on the part of the MTP host, we learn that Mrs. Sanders is working for that firm, and getting a payday through them, then we'll REALLY have something to talk about.

(660 posts)Chuck Todd is so thin. Does he think that people don't notice that he can never ask sensible questions about anything more complicated than sex or the latest poll? He's one of those guys who never learned about the history of this country or the background of the issues that separate Americans.

I never understood his appeal--his blog sucked, too.

And by gosh by golly, Chuck Todd's little woman should not have an indepentent career.

(1,258 posts)Every time they interview a candidate. Either side. Americans should know how they are intertwined.
Need to get the information out if you don't want low information voters. The voter can decide if they think the interviewer is biased or not.
