Kind of like Andrea Mitchell. They're the "old guard" that somehow are anchored in place.

DUer BigBearJohn brought this article to our attention...

Excerpt...

It’s not naive of him. It’s malpractice. Chuck Todd’s entire brand is based on the claim that he understands politics. Since 2007 he has been NBC’s political director, which means he has influence over all coverage. He is literally the in-house expert on the subject. You don’t get to claim you are naive about politics when you have these kinds of positions. It would be like a chief risk officer saying, “I didn’t understand the gamble we were taking.” Well, that’s your job.

Love Ali Velshi too. There is a firm comfort that everything is under control with him. Not with Toady. I turn MSNBC off every time hes on and I'm about sick of Andrea Mitchell too. She is getting worse and worse. I can lose my train of thought with her constant hesitations. I'll have to start a email/phone/letter campaign against them soon. Don't need them mucking up this new administration!
