But Chuck Todd let the canard stand that their only concern was paying for abortions with TAX MONEY! He didn't REFUTE it! If anything he gave Priebus a forum to claim that they have compassion, and that public funding was their only concern.

Chuck is no friend of the truth or to women.

He dodged every question

He dodged every question asked and Todd never forced him back to the main point of the questions asked. All he did was regurgitate GOP talking points .. which are not answers. Too bad Todd didn't tell him directly he was avoiding answering the questions using free television time to spew out GOP talking points

GOP wants to sweep this under

GOP wants to sweep this under the rug because they are bleeding women voters over it. They are between a rock and a hard place. Evangelicals want action and women who thought they didn't have to worry about loosing their reproductive rights are upset. Women see the incompetency of the Supreme Court and they no longer trust that their rights are safe. Most women are still in the role as caretakers and the GOP ideology doesn't support them in that role. This is driving the female vote away from that ideology.

It is older people that sit in front of the TV and watch cable and network news. Younger generations are selecting news from a smorgasbord of news off the internet and social media. Older women like social media because they can keep in touch with their family there. Guess what they see on their face book page beside their kids? Tons of political cartoons and short news clips from younger more liberal generation posted on their time line. Was Rinse and Spin all the effective on MTP last Sunday with his tap dance around the issue? Not as effective as he would of been 15 years ago.

Thank you very much NCD.

we, in this nation have a hundred thousand lawyers really good at cross examination, even without a judge and yet, some third year law student at a midwest university could do just a better job at confronting these liars.

The repubs just keep screaming about abortion and access to other female clinics are almost erased.

PP provides all these female with clinical needs and only 3% of the medical help relates to abortion and yet, the repubs just erased all the good that this Republican agency has provided for a century and more.

Cross examination is an art.

And we, in this nation have a hundred thousand lawyers really good at cross examination, even without a judge and yet, some third year law student at a midwest university could do just a better job at confronting these liars.

Jeeeez this makes me mad.

Sometimes I am seeing Cheney in a love in with Lieberman in 2000!

that's all I got

Congratulations to Todd whats his name. Priebus got the opportunity to spread the delusion that it's all about 'your taxes', not riling up The Base for the umpteenth election over abortion. Abortion, which is best reduced by family planning, which the GOP has never supported. Stopping abortions completely is like securing the border completely, impossible, so a perfect perpetual GOP issue.

The highly paid corporate TV executives masquerading as 'news persons' only function is to grab eyeballs, and create the fantasy that we have a relentlessly inquisitive press speaking truth to power, while resolutely pursuing truth for the good of the American people.

On the contrary their mission is to keep access to power by not rocking the boat, while increasing profits for their large corporations.

I guess his first show he asked some tough questions also because I read about it on other blogs. He needs to do this every Sunday.

The trend in this country is going away from the GOP now. It is a generational thing. Also the GOP have lost the majority of women in this country. We will see that results in this election. If NBC wants to stay in the Sunday game they have to get ahead of the trends and not worry about Fox and friends anymore. They don't need to fill their empty seats with McCiain, Peggy Noonan and David Brooks. Just take the empty chairs away that week and have a one to one with someone that has some smarts.

I think the only people who listen to Rush Limbaugh is the producers of MSNBC other wise he would not even be noticed. He lost his audience after the Sandra Fluke mess. Actually I think he has been a myth for the last 10 years and was riding on his past numbers. It didn't take his advertisers long to pull the plug on him.

GOP is out of touch with reality and the media should call them on it. Don't treat them as creditable.

Thanks for your comment.

Hmmm ... As someone who finally reached the point of giving up on Meet the Press, I am just as surprised. Maybe Chuck Todd will take the show back to the Tim Russert tradition and start asking questions that actually challenge GOP talking points. I don't know, maybe this was just a fluke. Let's see if he does it again next week.
