1. Don't upset the naked Trumporer!

Kiss that ass, Chuck...

[sandensea]

2. Chuck Toad

I remember they day the hacks at MSNBC put in the Toadster for the late Ed Schultz (who had great ratings) - and I thought: the fix is in.

Sure enough, that's when MSNBC almost non-stop coverage of Cheeto's rambling speeches started.

[pazzyanne]

3. Chuck Todd can eat ground glass!

I wouldn't mind if he invited members of the administration to join him.

[OliverQ]

4. Has anyone written to MSNBC demanding he be taken off the air?

Meanwhile, tonight Kasie DC is having Scaramucci on. She got absolutely destroyed on twitter for giving that idiot airtime.

MSNBC is no better than Fox or CNN.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

26. Maybe slightly better than Fix News...not sayin much!

20. To think Chuck replaced

David Gregory on MTP. David had Education,personality. Chuck does not even have a College Education.

Joy Reid, Al Sharpton and Chuck have all lost me. I quit watching Joy some time ago.

[RVN VET71]

55. I tried hard not to dislike David gregory

But his rightward slant creeped me out -- and his dancing -- literally! -- with Karl Rove still makes me shudder with disgust.

[True Blue American]

56. Yes, there is that.:)

But I watched David on the Today shoe. He is now on CNN.

[RVN VET71]

59. I don't begrudge him a job to feed his family

But I do not trust him, do not believe he speaks for me. He's not a Trumper, of course. And I can dislike him without despising him.

[B Stieg]

10. You mean "the Patron Saint of Bothsiderism"?

and a GenX twit, to boot.
Boo.

[True Blue American]

24. Tim Russert

Became more right wing as he grew older. I quit watching him,too.

[mountain grammy]

31. Yes he did.

Important to remember.

[Scarsdale]

36. What happened to Russert's son?

Wasn't he the annointed one who was going to take over his father's show?? He used to be everywhere.

[csziggy]

37. He may have pissed in his own place too often

From May 2009 to July 2016, he worked for NBC News on Capitol Hill as a Congressional correspondent covering the House of Representatives. He made headlines in 2010 when he received a public apology from Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-NY), who was at the time serving as House Ways and Means Committee Chairman. Congressman Rangel had criticized Russert's aggressive questioning over an ethics report that showed Rangel's fiscal indiscretions and illegal donation solicitations, but then reversed his stance and apologized to Russert instead.[9]

<SNIP>

Russert has claimed that the American media is biased against people of religious faith, going so far as to suggest that it treats them with a certain degree of snark, labeling them as "puritanical" and "not understanding of others or of different viewpoints", which in his view is lazy and contributes to "[feeding] the snickering masses."[13]

<SNIP>

Russert suddenly resigned from NBC in July 2016, saying he needed to evaluate his career opportunities.[1]

47. He left NBC

Wanted to do other things.

[katmondoo]

51. I stopped watching Meet The Press when Tim turned his lapel over to reveal

himself as a Bush supporter while still trying to show himself as a Democrat

[LiberalLovinLug]

11. And I thought Stephanopoulos was bad at his job

Todd is horrible as a so-called journalist. He let Trump just lie blithely on. ie. claiming it was Obama who began the separating, and he, the hero President, protector of children everywhere, that stopped it. How can you not, as a seasoned journalist not just stop and stare at him and then say "you've got to be fucking kidding me?"

[Pepsidog]

12. Agree totally

[tosh]

13. Let me remind you...

Chuckle Toad never studied journalism. For some unknown reason, some school GAVE him one of those “HONORARY degrees” in journalism just 2 or 3 years ago. ( I know, I should look It up, but I really don’t care, do you?)

He is a hack who has no sense of journalistic objectivity or ethics. How he stumbled into this job I do not understand.

I call him the Father of Both-sideism and I roll over laughing when I hear him speak of that very same.

He is no more deserving of the term journalist than tRump is deserving of the presidency.

Other than that, Jon Cooper is correct.

[MarcA]

14. Maybe he thinks he's not good enough to get the $$$ anywhere else

and settles for being a toady.

[True Blue American]

21. Management made Chuck

A VP . He must have dirt on some of them.

[MarcA]

23. Agreed. He seems to be nondescript and came out of nowhere.

Maybe he made the "right' connections at GWU.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

29. No doubt... only way to splain it.

Bernie & Elizabeth 2020!!!
Welcome to the revolution!!!

[csziggy]

40. Either he's got dirt or they know he's on their side

And that he will willingly push whatever viewpoint they tell him to.

[johnnyfins]

49. Or he's a government spook. Wouldn't be the first time

[Hulk]

15. Perfect description.

Incompetent tool.

[Sneederbunk]

16. We need to import some BBC folks to get the job done.

[shanti]

17. Yes

and unfortunately, he is one of the debate moderators this week. So, does he know somebody in a high place to get his gig?

[CaptYossarian]

18. Don't forget the White House "Soup of the Day".

It was on his daily morning show during the Obama years. The network should have just put up a sign that said "Vacancy". No substance whatsoever.

[kentuck]

19. Although he did get a short pause from Trump when....

...he showed him the unemployment graph from the beginning of Obama's first term to the present...

[spanone]

22. well, the only reason trump went on his show is because he feels safe.

he doesn't do interviews that challenge him

[True Blue American]

25. I am really getting

Sick of MSNBC.

Outside of Larry O’ Donnell and he is on too late to watch. Brian Williams voice kills me.

[Green Line]

34. I'm getting tired of them

They’ve gotten worse lately, days and days of bashing our leading candidate.

[True Blue American]

46. None of them have talent

And are just boresome..

On the other hand I just discovered AXS, the station Dan Rather is on. CBS pitched him because someone on his staff made a mistake, although the story was true.

Yet NBC let Brian come back after bragging about himself. That was a lie. Definately worse since Democrats are running.

[Eyeball_Kid]

58. IMO, the dearth of relevant and significant stories lies at the feet of

the Dems, who refuse to move forward with an aggressive prosecution of Trumpy's full criminal history. So MSNBC has to go somewhere with their programming time. Now they're picking at pimples, waiting for Pelosi to free her mind of the prospect of being the RW-driven scapegoat if ANYTHING about impeachment goes awry. Pelosi isn't just playing it close to the chest. Her cards are buried in her underwear.

[titanicdave]

32. ......Ol' Republican.....

......Chuckie is at it again.......a total and complete waste of my time to even watch or care what the jackass has to say.......he is inept, biased, and worthless when it comes to good journalism........

[Wellstone ruled]

33. Cuckie Toad

the failed Campaign Manager from1992. I guess that is what GE saw in him when they originally hired him. Someone mentioned it was Tweety Twit who brought him in.

Believe Toad's Spouse works the Political Asides of DC.

[Sneederbunk]

35. I would give my right arm for a good British political interviewer.

[George II]

38. I hope someone submits that definition to the Oxford English Dictionary this year.

39. Chuck Todd is everything that is wrong with msm 24 hour cable news

[YOHABLO]

41. Chuck Todd likes the numbers on his paycheck, enough said.

43. Internet destroys 'opposite of a journalist' Chuck Todd over his 'vapid' Trump interview

Published 10 hours ago on June 23, 2019 By Tom Boggioni

While NBC might be happy with the ratings it got from a highly-touted interview with Donald Trump conducted by Meet The Press host Chuck Todd, the reviews of the NBC political director’s performance were bad. Really bad.

Focusing on Todd’s inability, or lack of desire, to push-back on any of the president’s claims — including particularly egregious claims Trump made about detaining immigrant children at the border that the president blamed on Barack Obama, — one Twitter commenter called what Todd does for a living the “opposite” of journalism.

Particularly brutal was an assessment by NYU journalism professor Jay Rosen who tweeted: “Just watched @chucktodd ‘interview’ the president about kids and the border. I don’t what that was. But it was not public discourse. Nothing to do with eliciting information, or accountability, or where do you stand? It was like feeding English sentences into a wood chipper.”

44. Toad isn't a journalist, he's a talk show host.

[PinkTiger]

45. Look again at Todd.

I disagree with the assessments made in this thread concerning Chuck Todd, his interview with 45 and Todd’s credentials. The potus is not easy to interview and tries to outshout questions. Have you seen the uncut version?

[Skittles]

57. so he confronts Trump on his multiple lies?

[BlueJac]

48. Chuck makes my skin crawl...

another MSNBC Trump licker!

[Paladin]

50. Bravo, Jon Cooper. My sentiments exactly.

Chucky Todd never missed a chance to slag Hillary during the 2016 campaign, but he's now too much of a chickenshit to take on trump. Fuck Chucky Todd---and fuck MSNBC, for as long as they give Todd a job.

[LeftTurn3623]

52. Chuck is useless

I would love to see Joy Reid interview Trump

[gopiscrap]

60. welcome to DU

[KPN]

53. F*** Todd. nt

[Hulk]

54. A perfect definition

This turd is useless, and has been a disgrace since they gave him the job. He was even terrible BEFORE he got the spot as MTP host. So many worthless media whores in the country today....so many!
