Actually, Chuck Todd, I've got a question for You.

If I were a VIP on Meet the Press, I ask Chuck Todd this...

What's your take Chuck? I've been hearing credible rumors, that the major mainstream media services actually knew about George Santos, all along, way before the elections! But because it would be such a juicy story for future ratings, MSM decided not to report on it. Is this true?

I mean it would be otherwise impossible for this to have been missed by competent journalists. What's your take Chuck? Was it a conspiracy for ratings or incompetence?

Hey Chuck! Have you or anyone at NBC checked out if Santos is a US citizen? Asked to see his birth certificate or naturalization document?
