Chuck Todd Explains White House Effort To Get Story Out Sunday Night: ‘It’s A B.F.D.’
NBC’s Chuck Todd, on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Monday, explained the coded messages that swirled from inside the White House late Sunday night and into the Blackberrys of key reporters. “I got a three-letter emphasis on getting down here from a White House official who said, ‘I can’t say. It’s a B.F.D.’” No, Todd assured Mika Brzezinski, the message did not come from Vice President Joe Biden, who notably used the phrase in an acronym-free form, but from an official trying to stress the importance of the announcement.
Todd said the officials sent clear, but unspecific messages–especially to the television networks–that this was big enough everyone would need to be in place and on camera, and that the broadcast networks would definitely want to break into programming.
