NEW YORK (AP) — NBC has apologized for “inaccurately” cutting a portion of an interview with Attorney General William Barr that left a false impression with viewers of “Meet the Press.”

The apology didn’t satisfy President Donald Trump, who tweeted both Sunday and Monday that “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd should be fired.
The news show was discussing the Justice Department’s decision last week to drop its case against Michael Flynn, the president’s former national security adviser, when Todd played a portion of an interview that Barr gave last Thursday to CBS News.
When Barr was asked by reporter Catherine Herridge what history would say about the decision, Barr replied that “history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who’s writing the history.”
Todd said that he was struck by the cynicism of that answer.
“It’s a correct answer,” Todd said. “But he’s the attorney general. He didn’t make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a political job.”
However, “Meet the Press” didn’t include Barr’s full answer to Herridge’s question. He went on to say: “But I think a fair history would say that 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.”
In other words, Barr actually said what Todd accused him of not saying.
In apologizing for the mistake, NBC tweeted that it “inadvertently and inaccurately” cut the video.
“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.said that “the remaining clip included important remarks from the attorney general that we missed, and we regret the error,” the tweet said.
NBC offered no comment on the president’s tweets.
What a bunch of liars, there is no way they didn’t watch the clip before, they deliberatly cut it there to promote their narrative. They deliberately lied being they are propagandist fake news liars, they are the enemy of the people.
Chuck Todd and Jake Tapper are two of the worst human manure to crawl on G-ds earth. They are equal to rodents who dig up cucumber plants just to inflict damage.
They did not misquote him they lied by not playing his answer as he answered by cutting out the main point
The irony of Barr, who in the Mueller report is the “Master of Editing and taking quotes out of context”, being upset that his answer was edited is lost on a lot of people.
Barr is already the most non law abiding head of the DOJ and will be investigated for all of his criminal acts.
This degenerate media spread the Russian collusion hoax ad nauseum after getting leaks from the taiitor Hussein Obama and staff in order to topple Trump
A bunch of criminals better go to jail, it’s taking too long.
And get Mueller also, that sly impeachment pusher.
.
The media are liars and clear as the earth isn’t flat.
We all know the media and the dems are evil.
Chuck f Todd should be fired, with the rest of nbc cnn abc cbs nytimes Washington post.
Media conspirators getting desperate and nervous. Their Obumma comrades going down.
FAKE NEWS still exists in the DemocRATic party and in the LIBERAL MEDIA…………………
VOTE TRUMP FOUR MORE YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
