Chuck Todd will rename "Meet the Press" to...

[Yavin4]

"This is bad for the Democrats".

Every show is the same for Chuck:

Democrats launch impeachment -- "This is bad for the Democrats".
Democrats don't launch impeachment -- "This is bad for the Democrats".
Democrats fight back. -- "This is bad for the Democrats".
Democrats tweet that they like Baby Yoda. -- "This is bad for the Democrats".

Every fucking show is nothing more than a lame ass attempt to make Democrats feel bad about themselves no matter what they do.

[CatWoman]

1. yup

that's the only tune that ignorant fuck knows

[AZ8theist]

51. Agree...stopped watching that Reich wing ass wipe years ago..

[CentralMass]

2. Press The Meat

[dchill]

46. I've called it that for years. Years.

Alternatively, I would call it "Corporate Media Whatabout."

[CentralMass]

52. +1

[murpheeslaw]

74. Scanned it to fast

And read ”Whoreabout”

[Kid Berwyn]

3. NBC Comcast gave us The Apprentice.

And Democracy is getting cancelled ASAFP.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Chuckie the Toad Vice President of

Comcast Media Political Affairs. Just doing what is required in his Contract.

Just another failed Presidential Campaign Manager who never had a real clue.

[malaise]

5. Saw him and changed the channel

[Xolodno]

6. Audition for...

...fox news once a spot is open due to someone going too far.

[BigDemVoter]

7. I have long contended that the Toad creature is nothing but a tool of the repigs

and and offense against nature.

[smirkymonkey]

8. Why is he still on the air?

He is the most unappealing little toad on the air in every way. He doesn't really have the right, and he certainly doesn't have the left. Who the fuck IS his audience? I don't get it? Why has this boring, creepy-looking, wishy-washy, loser not been jettisoned a long time ago?

[Scarsdale]

25. Does he have questions taped to the ceiling?

He keeps looking up, as though something is up there. Strange little guy.

[smirkymonkey]

29. If that is what he needs, he is even more useless.

I mean, look at him? He looks like Lloyd Christmas from Dumb and Dumber? FFS, if they are going to have him on the on the air, at least make him presentable. Get the pubic hair off his chin and give him a decent haircut. I'm sorry, I know everyone can be perfect looking but I am tired of the double standard. If any woman looked like him - was his female counterpart looks-wise - she would have been yanked a long time ago.

His viewpoints are odious, but FFS if you are going to have him on at least get him a stylist. I am so sick of women having to look perfect and men are allowed on looking like THAT. That is not my only problem with him, I think he should be yanked because he is boring, stupid and blows with the wind. In other words, he has no genuine convictions. He's a coward.

[Botany]

9. Chuck Todd will rename "Meet the Press" to...

... well both sides do it.

[LiberalLovinLug]

68. Both Sides Do It!

Brilliant. That's another good name.

[BaronChocula]

10. He is a witless both-sider

like lots of other media doofuses. For every real gopper infraction he covers, he has to come back with some made up BS about Democrats out of some innate fear of not being fair to the guilty (gopper) party.

[certainot]

11. the guy is very frightened of the dittoheads attacking him every time limbaugh

calls him F chuck todd for looking too dem friendly!

that's another way we let 1500 radio stations push the country 15 pts right.

[Evolve Dammit]

12. I can't watch him. He is so consumed (or afraid) of saying ANYTHING that might be librul.

Poor excuse for the head honcho at NBC for political reporting. Not much for historical perspective either.

[ffr]

16. +1 n/t

[Augiedog]

13. He is just a right wing shill. Listening to him is nothing more than self abuse.

[brooklynite]

14. Your continued viewing is appreciated...

[Orrex]

15. He's following the path set down by Cokie Roberts

Every Monday morning, like clockwork, she'd show up on NPR to tell us how badly Democrats were doing, how untrustworthy Hillary is, how unstoppably popular Trump is, and how Democrats have generally just screwed things up.

Chuckie seems happy to pick up the baton and carry on.

[LenaBaby61]

21. I never was a fan of Cokie's.

Yeah, I don't miss her pro-thuglican shilling ONE DAMN BIT.

[StarfishSaver]

17. "Why aren't the Democrat doing x, y or z? What are they afraid of?""

"The Democrats are doing x, y or z. Are they overplaying their hand?"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

49. upChuck Toady wants you to Meet The Putinites

[warmfeet]

18. CT

is not a democrat.

A bit surprising that DU has not yet worked this out.

[Takket]

19. i had to stop watching MTP because it was so awful

Todd is probably the #1 pusher of both-sides-erism

and i couldn't help but notice the GOP members almost always got the first interview of the show and for a much longer segment than democrats.

[spanone]

20. I quit watching, it's on 6 days a week.... too much chuck.

[Pepsidog]

22. Give Joy Reid that time slot please, I'm so tired of Chuck Bothsider" Todd.

[bitterross]

23. Felate the PRESident?

That seems appropriate.

[MarianJack]

24. One positive about little Chuckie Todd from a Republican perspective is...

...that with his beard he gives their collective ass a nice tickle while he kisses it.

RESIST!

[stonecutter357]

26. Chuck Todd / RWNJ !

[orleans]

27. chuckie likes to end his sentences by

flushing them down the toilet

he dumps the volume down so much at the end of his sentences you can't hear what he's mumbling unless you have the volume on the tv cranked up to 50. way to go, mr. professionalism

if whatever the hell he is saying is not important enough for his audience to hear, and not important enough for him to speak clearly, properly, and in a professional broadcasting manner, then maybe he shouldn't bother to say it.

so that is my opinion just on his shit, unprofessional presentation.

now, about his rotten attitude... i agree with what you posted

[icymist]

31. I quit watching that idiot a long time ago.

eom

[Paladin]

32. As a Democrat, I hate Chuck Todd. End of story. (nt)

[EveHammond13]

33. 100% agree. It is so MFing annoying. Yet trump's crimes go unnoticed.

[efhmc]

34. Here's an idea: don't watch his show.

[Yavin4]

45. I can't help it.

It's like picking at a canker sore.

[efhmc]

60. Yuck, I could have done without that analogy.

I no longer have any tv but will listen on Sirius if I happen to be in the car. There I listen to the broadcasts of CNN and MSNBC and music, etc. If he starts his pompous analysis of whatever is going on I change to one of the hundreds of channels I like, including the spa music channel. Very relaxing.

[Prof.Higgins]

35. Sad, but true. Chuck personifies the Peter Principle. Nt

[radius777]

36. Todd, Kornacke, Hunt, Tur - all both siderists

types who are decent as guests but not good as hosts.

Todd I'd say is the best of that group, at least he asks tough/revelant questions sometimes, and can deliver the contrarian view intelligently. He was good back in the day as a political analyst when he used to come on Hardball.

Kornacke is another one who is decent at going over political numbers and working the map, but terrible as political talkshow host, where you need to have a defined view to hold an audience.

[George II]

37. I was relieved when David Gregory was replaced. Now I'd pay to get him back! I haven't watched....

....meet the press or that fake meet the press daily in probably five years.

Tim Russert could be abrasive and opinionated at times, but he really was the best interviewer they've had since I can recall.

BTW, whatever happened to Luke Russert?

38. Sunday Show Ratings: Nov. 24

Once again, it was NBC’s Meet the Press with Chuck Todd that finished No. 1 among the Sunday shows.

According to Nielsen live-plus-same-day data for Sunday, Nov. 24, MTP averaged 3.33 million total viewers, topping ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos by +17% (+473,000) and CBS’ Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan by +13% (+384,000) in average total viewers.

MTP was also No.1 among viewers from the key A25-54 demo (709,000 viewers), beating ABC by +12% (+75,000) and beating CBS by +26% (+148,000).

An additional 1.08 million total viewers and 295,000 A25-54 viewers watched MTP through rebroadcasts on NBC and MSNBC.

Meet the Press is the only Sunday public affairs program up (+9,000) among total viewers versus the prior year season to date.

CBS’ Face the Nation (1/2-hour edition) averaged 2.95 million total viewers but just 561,000 A25-54 viewers on Nov. 24. The million total viewers is good for second place, but the A25-54 total is less than stellar, third-most behind NBC and ABC.

The aforementioned ABC’s This Week took second place in the demo for the third broadcast in a row. The Nov. 24 broadcast averaged 634,000 adults 25-54, and 2.86 million total viewers.

This Week leads CBS’ Face the Nation in A25-54 (675,000 vs. 644,000), leading the CBS Sunday show at this point of the season for the 2nd time in the last 3 seasons.

The Nov. 24 edition of Fox News Sunday hosted by Chris Wallace on Fox delivered 1.4 million total viewers and 410,000 demo viewers. The trio of cable replays delivered 2.12 million total viewers and 320,000 A25-54 viewers. Altogether, that’s roughly 3.52 million total and 730,000 A25-54 viewers on Nov. 24.

Compared with the same Sunday in 2018, NBC was -3% in total viewers, while CBS was -5%, ABC was -5% and Fox was +4%. Among adults 25-54, NBC was -14%, CBS was a whopping -20%, ABC was -6% while Fox News Sunday was +7%.

62. The facts are alarming.

The corporate narrative is alive and well. Front offices set the tone and encourage a specific narrative that enhances their bottom line. When news bureaus are required to turn a profit, front offices get to say how it's done. Chuck Todd is their star; he carries their message.

[GitRDun]

39. I don't watch him anymore

Not for a long time.

I last thought he was decent when he did Steve KArnacki's job on NBC.

[Jane Austin]

41. I couldn't agree more!

And when something breaks the rethuglican's way, he can hardly sit still in his seat. He gets positively giddy.

[bucolic_frolic]

42. Chuck Todd is a gaslighting a**hole and ought to be canned /nt

[Hortensis]

43. Don't forget #1: Democrats are just as bad as the worst of Repubs.

This has been a dominant theme for as long as Repubs have been doing inexcusable deeds.

[BadgerMom]

44. Which is why I won't watch.

[SCVDem]

47. I am the first to say in this thread

FUCK CHUCK!!!

I love my DVR, it skips this and starts at Ari.

[tiredtoo]

48. Todd is a jerk

I haven't watched him since he said "it's not my job to check on what they say, it is their opponents job".

[Dopers_Greed]

50. He should change it:

"Meet the Press" -> "Lick the Boots"

[True Blue American]

53. Despise Todd

Katie drives me nuts. Ari seems to have lost his zip, Steve and Chris Hayes and Mathews are both hysterical.

At least CNN gives other news. MSNBC has become a one trick pony..

But at least I can watch CSPAN, Food Network, pick up new cooking tricks on the Kitchen, Old movies, or better yet good books.

[LittleGirl]

54. It's more like

Meet the Republicans!

I haven't watched him in years. I might catch a glimpse of him in a clip posted here but I can't watch the whole show on Sunday.
He's awful.

[flying-skeleton]

55. Stopped watching him a long time ago

[Cha]

56. but the psycho is ******* perfect.

[BlueJac]

58. Chuck Nod has always been an ass wipe...

I despise his terrible program.

[usaf-vet]

59. NO absolutely NO U.S. TV programming on our TV's in our house. Pulled the U.S. plug in 2014.

Why 2014, the annoying 'run-up' to the 2016 election.

We decide what we find important. And Yes we pay for that freedom. Internet access and streaming services. For news, we use on-line news services. The Guardian is a goto source.

We listen to selective podcasts. And obviously DU to share our thoughts.

Some of the best rewards, no ads with stupid repetitive claims.

Books, hobbies, and friends and streaming British programming occupy most of our free time.

[PatrickforO]

61. Instead of reporting on Trump's misdeeds and WHY he's being impeached line by line.

The press isn't very effective any more. All corporate owned.

[Earth Bound Misfit]

63. Yup. And on the odd chance he reports bad Republican behavior...

... it's "Both sides do it"

[Golden Raisin]

64. I'm an old coot and go back to (and remember)

when the very distinguished and erudite Lawrence E. Spivak was Host. The show has been in a disintegrating, downward death-spiral ever since.

[Brainstormy]

65. HE Makes my teeth hurt!

Cant STAND him!

[Traildogbob]

66. What does he have on MSNBC

Fuck.....Thuck Chodd. I would rather Spend that hour watching and laughing at Jimmy Swaggert, with the sound off playing Dark Side Of The Moon on acid. Never done acid, but that is the only way I could stomach Swaggert or Thuck Chodd.

[MarcA]

69. MSNBC is corporatist media that allows some liberal programs.

In modern day USA it's about all we got when it comes to MSM.

[Traildogbob]

70. You are absolutely correct.

He plays the role of prick very well. He just needs a round couch, and idiot side kick and a blonde bimbo.

[ooky]

67. Chuck Todd is awful but he is doing what MSNBC pays him to do.

And yes, he seems to enjoy it. But if you turn on MSNBC you are going to get both-siderism followed by corporate ads all day long. To me it is like listening to an old rattling refrigerator that makes irritating noise all day long, so I don't watch it unless a legitimate news story is breaking and then I'll turn it on to watch some of that. The content is better after 8 PM EST so I DVR that part. Then I can fast forward through the parts I don't want to listen to and all the commercials. I still like Rachel's perspective and I enjoy Lawrence trashing Trump.

For daytime TV I'm usually on Free Speech TV. As for Chuck Todd I don't bother. If it's his hour and I want to watch corporate infotainment I go to CNN. You can't pay me to watch his show.

[geretogo]

71. Never watch that propaganda . They should rename the show as " meet the Republicans . "

[RandySF]

72. Democrats win the House..."This is bad for the Democrats"

[robbedvoter]

73. news flash: it was alway like that!

Tim Russert may have been more subtle, but his pitch was always "Democrats in disarray"
