MSNBC host Chuck Todd got a heavy lesson in looking in the mirror after he blasted President Donald Trump.
Trump‘s press conference on Thursday exploded liberal heads and his exchanges with reporters prompted Todd to tweet several times from the event.
Going to be a long day for @PolitiFact and @GlennKesslerWP

Who on the WH staff has the guts to tell him this may not be the presser that will calm the waters on Cap Hill with nervous GOPers?

But the president’s repeated charges against the “fake news” of the press sent Todd over the edge.
This not a laughing matter. I’m sorry, delegitimizing the press is unAmerican

Press bashing may feel good to folks but when it’s done by people in power, it’s corrosive. Take off your partisan hats for a second

Todd’s alarm at Trump’s accusations led to a harsh lesson on Twitter as many quickly reminded the “Meet the Press” host that the president is not the one to blame for the media’s failings and lack of credibility.

Maybe, @chucktodd, maybe the problem isn’t people “delegitimizing” you. Maybe it’s your actual loss of legitimacy being pointed out.

@KamVTV @chucktodd Delegitimizing @POTUS is UNAMERICAN and traitorous. The press Delegitimizes itself on a daily basis. Yellow journalism.

Press did it to themselves. You can’t behave any way you like & expect ppl to blindly accept you as legitimate.— Deanna Sands (@DeannaSands1) February 16, 2017
Obama repeatedly called Fox fake news and somehow – SOMEHOW – it wasn’t a threat to democracy.

You delegitimized the press on your own @chucktodd. You required and also received comfort from Andrea Mitchell on election night#fakenews pic.twitter.com/u9ysM8hYuz

@chucktodd You’ve all delegitimized yourselves with punditry disguised as news – and this is the result.

@chucktodd It’s a sh*tshow. But, you and MSM thought he was so entertaining during the campaign.
