Chuck Todd, host of Meet The Press has become an embarrassment to Sunday morning political shows. Tim Russert must be spinning in his grave.
From the Blaze:
Sorry to disappoint all you biased media deniers and TDS sufferers, but there's no attacking the source in order to dismiss this one:
Meet The Press clip
Barr's full answer from CBS interview.

From the Blaze:
On Sunday morning, Todd played a clip from Barr's recent interview with Catherine Herridge on CBS News. However, the clip played did not provide Barr's full answer, which told a completely different story than the snippet given.
Herridge asked Barr, "When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written?"
"Well, history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who's writing the history," Barr replied.
After playing the short clip, Todd said, "I was struck, Peggy, by the cynicism of the answer. It's a correct answer, but he's the attorney general. He didn't make the case that he was upholding the rule of law. He was almost admitting that, yeah, this is a political job."
However, Barr's full response to Herridge puts his answer in a completely different context.
"Well, history is written by the winner. So it largely depends on who's writing the history," Barr told Herridge. "But I think a fair history would say it was a good decision because it upheld the rule of law, it upheld the standards of the Department of Justice, and it undid what was an injustice."
