Meet the Press has booked a shameless conspiracy theorist, Senator Ron Johnson, for Sunday. Johnson says covid is fake and denied Biden won the election. He is MTP's most-booked Republican and has used the platform to spread lies more than any other senator. It is a true feat.
Johnson staged a conspiracy Senate panel of covid vaccine skeptics, anti-maskers, and fake drug promoters just weeks ago. He is avidly pro-covid in addition to spreading Hunter Biden conspiracies and saying Biden stole the election with "voter fraud" https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/07/us/politics/ron-johnson-coronavirus.html
Every mainstream news outlet, not just @MeetThePress, books conspiracy theorists because they believe Republicans deserve a platform to spread their misinformation. This is not journalism and @chucktodd does not care one wink about it
Ron Johnson is also an outspoken climate denier. He has spoken about this 40,000 times because it helps him politically. He is a conspiracy theorist.
Yet @chucktodd invites him on MTP despite saying two years ago he wouldn't book climate deniers https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chuck-todd-climate-deniers_n_5c2998e2e4b05c88b701abd7

Ron Johnson lied about Hunter Biden having child pornography on his computer

One time on Meet the Press @chucktodd accused Johnson of spreading "Fox News conspiracy propaganda stuff" as Johnson spread a conspiracy theory about Ukraine
Johnson has been rewarded for spreading this conspiracy with another Meet the Press guest slot https://www.mediaite.com/tv/chuck-todd-shouts-down-gop-sen-ron-johnson-in-off-the-rails-clash-on-trump-ukraine-fox-news-conspiracy-propaganda-stuff/

This intentional and habitual liar, who has been repeatedly proven as a liar with the sole purpose of spreading misinformation to the public, will be on Meet the fucking Press on Sunday https://twitter.com/MaddowBlog/status/1198069435208208386
Why would you invite this shameless liar on your news show if you're a journalist and believe in reporting the truth https://twitter.com/mkraju/status/1208761111975251973
There are 8 million examples of this. Ron Johnson is not some mystery. He is a liar who uses the legitimate platforms of the mainstream news media to spread Newsmax/OANN conspiracy theories. Booking these misinformation spreaders is the same as spreading the misinformation
