From Steve Malzberg’s Newsmax TV show on Tuesday, Nov. 18:

Steve Malzberg: “But why did it take nine days once the Gruber video came out, you talked about it on Meet the Press just the other day, but the networks, nine days before they talked about it. And now it’s a huge story.”

Chuck Todd: “I’m not saying it’s not a story. Look, I’m not in charge of any of those network newscasts. But what is the news today of that? It’s a political story. Network news in general hasn’t been covering the political back-and-forth’s of Washington a lot lately. I don’t think has to do with Gruber specifically. I would just caution people on that.”
