[See NewsBusters for more.] Tom Coburn wasn’t having any of Chuck Todd’s bias. The former Republican Senator appeared on MSNBC, Thursday, to discuss Hillary Clinton’s speech on the so-called alt-right movement. After Todd repeatedly pushed Todd on Republican connections to the extremist group, Coburn called out the network’s liberal spin: “That's just like saying if somebody hires you, Chuck, and NBC's viewpoint politically is far left anyway, so, therefore, it’s bad because you work for [NBC].” A flustered Todd sputtered, “Let me stop you there. Senator, wait a minute. That is not true. I don't know where you are coming up with an ideological attack on that.”
