The Sunday shows were a combination of Hillary Clinton hacks lowering the bar for tomorrow night’s debate and the usual race hustling. For instance, NBC’s Chuck Todd, better known as Sleepy Eyes Chuck Toad did what Democrats in the media do best, let progressive race hustlers lie. Todd’s “guest” claimed that the vast majority of those killed by police are blacks. This is of course a pants on fire lie by Chuck Todd. At least twice as many whites are killed than blacks every year.

On Thursday’s MTP Daily on MSNBC, during a discussion of recent high-profile cases of black suspects being shot and killed by police, panel member April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks made a blatantly wrong claim that the “vast majority” of criminal suspects who were killed by police officers in 2015 were black. In fact, the source that she actually cited — the Washington Post — found that twice as many whites as blacks were killed by the police in 2015.
Despite the blatant misinformation, neither host Chuck Todd nor the other two panel members — Matt Bai of Yahoo News and Perry Bacon of NBC News — took the time to correct her as all three either did not notice or just let the claim go without dispute. Bacon notably ended up plugging Hillary Clinton on the issue of establishing “national standards” and requiring “implicit bias training” for local police officers.
