A Very Telling Exchange Between Nancy Pelosi And Katy Tur

Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi sat down with Katy Tur on MSNBC on Monday afternoon for an interview that was normal until this happened:

Pelosi said, “Donald Trump has the worst record of job loss of any president. So we just have to make sure people know.”

Tur said, “There was a global pandemic.”

Pelosi responded, “He had the worst record of any president. We’ve had other concerns in our country. If you want to be an apologist for Donald Trump, that, that may be your role, but it ain’t mine.”

Tur said, “I don’t think anybody could accuse me of that.”

Katy Tur obviously doesn’t pay attention to viewer feedback because a lot of viewers think that she is a Trump/Republican apologist.

In fact, the point that Tur responded to Pelosi with was a Republican talking point. Under Donald Trump, the country had already slipped into a recession before COVID arrived. It is common for Republicans to blame the pandemic for all of the Trump job losses, but that is not accurate.

The point of this segment goes a lot deeper than Tur being called out for being a Trump apologist. However, the corporate media’s habit of normalizing and apologizing for Trump is a topic that we have tackled before and will do so again in the future.

Pelosi’s comment back to Tur suggested something much deeper.

Democrats are not treating the corporate media like a neutral broker anymore and are not afraid to call out their worst behaviors, such as apologizing for Donald Trump.
