    Todd is definitely a lefty, but calling that exchange "fake news" is way over the top. It wasn't NEWS - it was an interview, and they were questions. "Fake news" is already way overused - we shouldn't be applying it where the "news" portion doesn't even apply.

    Obviously, I'm biased - I think Trump is in over his head & shouldn't be President. Foreign policy concerns me more than just about anything, and I find it extremely weird that he defends & supports dictators and adversaries and criticizes & ridicules allies. I don't get it; and I don't think the question is out of line given Trump's entire disposition toward Putin & Russia.

    Journalists do not ask leading questions that infer something. They ask questions to get honest answers. But if you want to pretend that Chuck is honest and not a hyper partisan left wing hack and DNC mouthpiece, you go for it.

    But Obama wasn't. You've been wrong so many times one cannot keep count.

    The one's who seem to be cheering for despots and tyrants are the liberal left and people like you. Where is there a rule one never criticizes their allies? You think this is unique with Trump?? Seriously??

    Of course you don't; you have a severe case of TDS.

    I said he was a lefty, and Chuck Todd is not a straight reporter.

    Regardless, questions cannot by their nature be "fake news."

    Are you kidding? He is deliberately trying to mislead his audience with his question. He is trying to make it an issue when it is in reality an impossibility. You could not be a more dishonest hack at this point.

    He does not have to 'report it as fact' to make it fake you dishonest piece of shit.

    Questions aren't statements.
    It absolutely can be fake news. He is asking a question, leading the audience to believe it is a possibility. That is 100% fake. It cannot happen. Yet he wants his audience to believe it could.

    Obama already handed Crimea to the Russians. he did nothing. He let it happen.

    So tell us thing... what is the purpose of his question? We all know the Russians already have Crimea. So why do YOU think he is asking this question. What do YOU think his purpose is?

    I assume that you understand that the annexation of Crimea was illegal...correct? And that it would be a big win for Putin to have the U.S. President recognize it formally?

    It's not "fake" to ask about it. It's a legit topic.

    So, the thread title is actually what is fake.

    If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

    What if Todd had asked if Trump was willing to end the military exercises with SK giving Kim what he had been seeking for decades, before the Kim summit?
    Would that question be "fake news" in your estimation as well, fake member?

    LMAO... yes you fucking dolt. We mocked Obama for letting it happen. It was idiots on the left that pretended it was no big deal. But now for some reason you lemmings are all up in arms because Todd told you to be.

    It is fucking hilarious to pretend that any of it is due to Trump. Which again shows how much of a dishonest hack you have become.

    Kim has been in power for a little less than 7 years. So no, he has not been seeking it for decades.

    Again... asking if Trump would recognize that we couldn't do anything about Crimea would be a legit question. Asking if Trump was going to give up Crimea when it is already controlled by the Russians is deliberately misleading. It was Obama that gave the Russians Crimea 4 years ago. but now, because Trump is in office, Dems want to make it a big deal when they told us for years it wasn't.

    Nowhere am I up in arms, and nowhere am I saying it's "due to Trump."

    The only point is that it's a legit question, and not fake news. Sorry that your thread failed.
