"Meet the Press" misrepresents Barr statement
The left wing media did it again. In their zeal to demonize the Attorney General they now hate for defending the rule of law, they deceptively edited a statement AG William Barr made concerning the Michael Flynn case. NBC was forced to concede the distortion within hours after the broadcast.
Here are the two transcripts:

The Full Transcript:
Very disappointed by the deceptive editing/commentary by @ ChuckTodd on @ MeetThePress on AG Barr’s CBS interview.
Meet the Press
✔ @MeetThePress
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 Bottom Line:
On the recommendation of U.S. Attorney Jeff Jensen, the Justice Department moved to drop it's case against Michael Flynn. Michael Flynn was framed by the FBI and AG William Barr is a Profile in Courage for correcting a miscarriage of Justice.

NBC calls it "a mistake"
Trump is off topic
Typical reporting, both sides have been doing it for hundreds of years.
Saw the live bit with the chuckle from Barr, before he added his disclaimer. He deserves the criticism in my opinion.
Remember this shit show? Talk about one side's context blinders...
The same people that believe Obama was twiddling his thumbs during the 911 attacks, believe the misrepresentation of Obama's comments about infrastructure.
So on one hand you have a news organization doing an opinion and analysis show that indulged in some creative editing to misrepresent what was said and cherry picked the words they presented so that they could then provide their opinion on it.
On the other hand you have a political party and a presidential campaign performing normal political partisan bullshit.
And you want to equate the two? I don't know anybody who tunes into a political campaign ad to see the truth, they know in advance all they are going to get is bragging and/or dirt on the other side.
People I know tune in to news shows to get the truth in order to make decisions on how it impacts them. If the news they are presented with is twisted then any decision they make will not be valid. How far up the ladder does this opinionated lying about the news go? How long has it been going on? How are people supposed to know if anything they have been told is the truth? We see all the time one news organization will make a claim and others will jump on it citing the first story as proof.
PLEASE...
What??? You don't think the crap that Romney and the RNC was pushing in response to the speech by Obama about infrastructure and how important that is for business to succeed was political partisan bullshit? Are you trying to tell me that you believe Romney, with his "We did build that" campaign, was correct in his attack on Obama?
The point can be made that according to your standards, fox news cannot be valid.
Big deal. The right is getting very prolific at whining.
Getting? Whining, complaining, blaming others, seems to be stock in trade.
Like how the left whines when their lies eat exposed.
what do you suppose they taste like ?
like Chicken, or Crow ?
Sure is a good thing no one on the 'right' ever does this,
as there is one not right rightie that LIES multiple times a day
Barr has always been a partisan that thinks an office of power is immune to acts of punishment.
Look at his history.
He was instrumental in getting pardons for a lot of people in positions of power and basically stopping prosecutions.
I have said this before, he was put there for a reason.
Draining the swamp my ass.
This administration HAS SWAMP ASS
NBC has a history of creatively editing tapes for broadcast. They seem to have their marching orders to always be first to push an angle, is it in hopes of gaining viewership and more money? Does anybody remember the editing job they did on the George Zimmerman 911 tape?
IMO they have gone first in pushing their editorial opinions as actual news. I stopped watching or relying on them for any news quite a while ago.
good thing Fox Entertainment never pushes an agenda, huh ?
I never said they didn't. Hell, in my opinion they all push a fucking agenda. But as this seed was on NBC and how they creatively edited a tape of AG Barr I tried to stay on topic rather than freelance.
i charge for freelance
so
no freelance here.
just find it amusing as to how many Fox "News" watchers are so quick to demonize NBC, all while many get the majority of their "news"/talking points from a propaganda outlet tat goes much further on its' agenda pushing than the other major outlets.
There is no "demonizing" go on. Chuck Todd literally told a lie. It wasn't about interpretation, context, or nuance. He said something didn't happen that did. Period. End of story. He's a lying liar. If you can't admit that simple truth, that's a real problem.
and what was that ?
please do state specifically
.
it is WRONG to take it out of context.
I've seen it done umpteen thousands of times by the 'right', who are also obviously WRONG.
How come you are not as upset when YOU are lied to DAILY, by our POTUS ?
Selective out rage i see.
thought Vic said he was off topic...
thus Y U Wrote it
F U Think you're clever, i'll introduce one to my cleaver in June, cause don't you think Wally's old man was a little ruff on the Beeave lasy night ?
They didn't just mislead. They straight up lied. They said he didn't say it upheld the rule of law, but he actually did say that. Liars.
in his interpretation, one vtwisted likev a sister, as it could be interpretted, and it has been by many, that he has again, only done Trumps bidding. \He's an
