Happy Sunday everyone: Chuck Todd will depart 'Meet the Press.
- Thread starter THE_DEVIL
- Start date
Hardly ever watched, but my impression of Chuck Todd was that he sucked at everything he did.
He’s sucked as long as I’ve been aware of him. Total knob.
I would love to see Jon Stewart in that role - be the new Tim Russert. He gives both sides the business like Russert used to do.
He was great.
I would love someone who can adapt the questions to the answers and ask the follow ups. Too many journalists are not prepared and therefore can’t say “ Wait a second…”
So they let the responses go unchallenged and move on to their next question.

Todd is set to be “Chief Political Analyst” for NBC.
Of course he’s politically neutral so he should be able to provide viewers with the kind of objectivity needed in that role, right? 🙄😡🤮
And with his Democratic operative wife Kristian (FSU grad) providing pillow talk it’ll be right down the middle. 💩💩💩

That would be great, except the show wouldn't be able to be what they want it to be. It used to be a place where high profile members of both parties could meet to discuss issues with a mostly impartial moderator. However, in recent years these people have avoided places where they would actually have to explain or defend their policy positions. There just aren't many Republicans in charge that can explain their policies while still appearing to be a reasonable, level headed individual and the few that can do that can't explain the GOP positions that are impossible to defend (like the full embracement of Christian White Nationalists, the election denialism, defending 1/6 invaders, and full onslaught of culture wars segregation). So, either the host has to back off or they don't end up getting those guests on the air. As a result you end up like Chuck Todd and appear to be a kneecapped journalist.
Man, they're really going all out these days. Imagine if they had this much scrutiny of Joy Reid or Rachel Maddow's propaganda.
I’m proud to have never missed an opportunity to call Chuck Todd a “knob” every time he’s ever been brought up here or in my presence.
Chuck Todd is a knob.
He set journalism back decades by elevating both sides reporting. He was truly awful.
Holy shit! Didn’t realize this thread was from last year. See? I’m nothing if not consistent.
