That the mainstream media have long been in the tank for Democrats at all levels of government is not exactly breaking or surprising news, and hearing them admit to it is a rare thing.
That is exactly what happened on Sunday's "Meet the Press" program on NBC News, where host Chuck Todd had on a number of guests to talk about the state of the 2020 Democratic presidential race, including the Iowa Democratic caucus debacle, which is still ongoing and which has created deeper divisions within the Democratic party base.
In segwaying from talking about the upcoming New Hampshire primary to discussing the "Electability" of the Democratic candidates for president, Todd spoke with new MSNBC anchor Joshua Johnson and former Sen. Claire McCaskill about how all the candidates had a "Fatal flaw" but that one of them was "Gonna have to become the nominee." To that, Johnson reminded Todd and the rest of the panel of how Sen. Bernie Sanders and his supporters felt cheated in 2016 by the DNC and how that was playing out in 2020.
Going further, Johnson shifted to discussing what the media's role was in 2016.
"So, one of the things I'm interested in seeing in 2020 is how much we will allow Democrats to make their own choice? The story of who the party is supposed to support is not up to us, it's up to Democrats." In the midst of saying that, he gestured to the people sitting around the table.
Todd, who often fights the losing battle of claiming there's no such thing as media bias in favor of Democrats, didn't seem pleased.
I have to admit - before this interview I had not heard of Johnson, and as of this writing it's unclear what show he'll be anchoring on MSNBC. But right out of the gate, Johnson is starting to make waves on what is arguably the most liberal of all the cable news networks.
