Former anchor of NBC’s Meet the Press, Chuck Todd, recorded his Monday podcast from Crazy Town as he alleged that the FCC’s role in the Paramount-Skydance merger now means CBS is “state TV” because one of the conditions was that the Paramount property would hire a bias monitor.
Todd angrily began, “This gets me at the word ‘bias,' right? It is a word that people love to throw around, and they don't frickin' know the definition of it. Let me tell you something about bias. Let me check my pulse. Okay, I'm a human being. You know what that means? I'm born with original bias. We all are born with original bias.”
Sure, but it is the job of reporters to try to suppress that bias and, if they can’t, for their superiors to rein it in.
